The Paralux IV Series features recessed aesthetics and the latest in
energy efficient technology. The luminaire incorporates a 4" precision
cell louver into a deep para-contoured fixture housing. This combination
creates a high comfort 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 high comfort luminaire is designed to provide
a superior visual environment plus the higher shielding louver angle
offers excellent cut-off for today‘s lighting requirements. The Paralux
IV series is an excellent choice for commercial office spaces, schools,
hospitals or retail merchandising areas.
