Metalux
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.
2EP3-IC is rated for installations when the housing is in direct contact with
insulation. The high performance luminaire is designed to offer maximum
efficiency and performance for today’s unique interior specifications.
