The Precision Architectural Parabolic true 3" deep, high performance
louver incorporates a precision designed optical assembly that offers the
specifier a controlled, high performance light source. The performance
level and unique design aesthetics is a result of incorporating precision
tolerance construction in both the louver optical assembly and fixture
holding. The symmetric high throw wall wash luminaire produces
uniform vertical wall illumination on both sides of luminaire from
below ceiling line downward to floor. The double wall wash distribution
eliminates “Cave Effect”. The symmetric high throw is the ideal
luminaire for wall washing applications.

Louver
Deep, para-contoured housing, die
formed of code gauge, prime cold
rolled steel. Die embossed housing
has full length die formed stiffeners
for added strength. Ballast/
wireway cover is easily removed.
Die formed captive lampholder
bracket fully encloses lampholder
wiring permitting easy lampholder
replacement. Heavy end plates are
securely attached with interlocking
tabs and screws. Four auxiliary
fixture end suspension points
provided. KOs for continuous
row wiring. End plates have labor
saving integral Grid-Lock feature
for safety and convenience.
Housing features enable fixture to
be converted from Grid to T-option
or vice versa in the field.*
Ballast are CBM/ETL Class “P” and
are positively secured by mounting
bolts. Pressure lock lampholders.
UL/CUL listed. Suitable for damp
locations.
Die formed of specular, low
iridescent anodized aluminum.
Finish is anodic oxide coating.
Accurate precision parabolic
cells are held in place with
interlocking feature. True-cut
mitered corners. Black reveal with
integral mechanical light seal
around entire perimeter of louver.
Louver protected from construction
contaminants by polyethylene
cover.
F in ish
Lighting grade, baked white
enamel finish. Multistage, iron
phosphate pretreatment ensures
maximum bonding and rust
inhibition.
