Metalux
D ES C R IPTION
The Paralux II Series features recessed aesthetics and the latest in energy
efficient technology. The luminaire incorporates a 2" precision cell louver
into a 4-3/4" deep para-contoured fixture housing. This combination
creates a total low profile 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. The low profile luminaire is designed to offer
the market-place a parabolic choice when economics and shallow
plenum space are factors. The Paralux II series is an excellent choice
for commercial office spaces, schools, hospitals or retail merchandising
areas.
