D ES C R IPTION
The Paralux III Series features recessed aesthetics and the latest in energy
efficient technology. The luminaire incorporates a nominal 3" deep
precision cell louver into a 4-3/4" deep para-contoured fixture housing. This
combination creates a total high performance parabolic optical assembly for
optimum performance. The series is compatible with all of today’s popular
ceiling systems and is available with a number of options and accessories for
application versatility.
Catalog #
2EP3-IC is designed for installations when the housing will be in direct
contact with insulation. The high performance luminaire is designed to
