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 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 marketplace 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.
