Redefined.
Simkar has redefined the
direct / indirect luminaire
T
he Altus+ Classic remains the
standard in the industry as one of the
best direct / indirect luminaires for general
commercial lighting applications. The Altus+
Classic offers a shallow design and an extensive
family of T5, T5HO, T8 and twin-tube T5 compact
fluorescent luminaires that are available in center
and dual perforated basket configurations. The
open design features a post painted reflector
that provides 92% reflectance to ensure peak
performance, distributing high quality
direct / indirect light uniformly throughout your
work area. Specially tooled perforated steel,
matched with the newest thin high transmission
inlays, delivers comfortable and efficient lighting.
The Altus+ Classic center model is also available
with a deep prismatic high diffusion lens that
provides a pleasing balance between brightness
of the reflectors and the lens itself. The rigid
construction enhances unit strength and ease
of installation while the architectural low-profile
design projects a clean, modern appearance. The
Altus+ Classic is available with unique features
such as light traps, vented heat removal, and
debris guards. They are manufactured in the USA
and designed for increased sustainability.
