FEAT URES ORDERING INFORMATION NOTES

OPTICAL SYSTEM

• Reflector System - Self-flanged, highly reflective/diffuse white painted cone.
Outside of inner reflector is white with semi-specular or matte-diffuse inner
surface finish. Patented Bounding Ray™ Optical design provides exceptional
glare control for visual comfort.

• A patent-pending dual reflector optical system allows effective general
illumination with a compact fluorescent source to function independently from a
color-changing LED source.

• This product is protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 5,800,050 & 7,014,341. Other
patents pending.

• Inner reflector is field adjustable, allowing the designer to reveal subtle color
(inner cone flush with ceiling) or enhance the color effect by revealing 3/8” or
3/4” of the inner reflector below the ceiling.

• An array of red-green-blue LEDs provides up to 16.6 million vibrant color op­tions. LEDs are visually shielded to prevent a direct line of sight to the source.

thick ceiling standard.

• 16-gauge galvanized steel mounting bars with continuous 4” vertical adjust­ment are shipped pre-installed. Post-installation adjustment possible without
the use of tools from above or below ceiling.
