DESCRIPTION & CAPABILITIES
DESCRIPTION
Models: Available in 1’x4’, 2’x2’, 2’x4’
Construction: A high performance LED flat panel designed for
installation in drop ceilings; typically used to replace standard 2’x2’
and 2’x4’ fluorescent fixtures. The profile is slim, only 4.1 inches deep
including the junction box, making it ideal for low depth ceiling cavities.
The housing provides maximum heat sink and thermal control. The lens is
a translucent white polycarbonate.
CAPABILITIES
On/Off: Panels can operate independently, or can be daisy
chained together to work with standard on/off wall switches.
Dimming: Panels are fully dimmable with a standard 0-10V wall dimmer,
the hand-held remote dimmer, Building Controls and DaLI.
Building Controls: With the addition of Controls the panels can be
automated and customized to room use.
Daylight Harvesting: Additional sensors (such as Lutron® Graphic Eye)
added to Building Controls enable user to further reduce energy
consumption by taking advantage of natural light entering the room.
Linking: Up to 30 panels can be linked from the master panel.
