Catalog No.
Date
CONSTRUCTION
Extruded aluminum housing includes typical recycled
content of 25-30%.
END CAPS
Die cast flat end caps for standard lamp
configuration. Both end caps feature silicone gasket
to eliminate light leak, see Light Seal. Ships installed
on fixture.
FEATURES
• 3½" × 3½" minimalist rectilinear shape
• 1 or 2 T5 or T5HO, 1T8
• Extensive aesthetic options
• Symmetric downlight distribution standard
• Asymmetric distribution available; see MA CM
specification sheet
• Available with corners
• Full family including cable mount, wall mount,
surface mount and recessed
• Companion fixtures include the 2½" × 3½"
Microlyne® Mini and 3½" × 5" Microlyne® DirectIndirect
• Aesthetic continuity across family, shielding and
options
• Patented clips for louver retention (Patent #8,142,048)
LIGHT SEAL
Housing unions between all joints include upper
formed light seal and aligner connectors to block
light. End of row and single units feature unique
optimized V-0 closed cell silicone gasket light seal
at joints between extruded housing and die cast end
cap.
DISTRIBUTION
Symmetric downlight distribution is standard and
used for general purpose lighting where uniform
distribution is desired. Asymmetric downlight louver
also available; see MA CM specification sheet.
CONNECTIONS
ELECTRICAL
Secure, simple housing connections ensure row
continuity. Standard lamp configuration features
patent pending Ready Connect system for end cap
connections.
—All luminaires are built to UL1598 standards and
bear the appropriate cUL or CSA labels. Damp
location listed.
—Quick connect plugs standard.
MOUNTING
FINISH
Microlyne® Cable Mount uses adjustable aircraft
cable. Simple screw connection to housing provides
quick, easy connection from the back of the housing.
Does not require disassembly to install aircraft cable
hanger. 5” steel canopy covers are provided standard
for feed and non-feed locations. 2”canopies optional.
REFLECTOR
SHAPE AND DIMENSIONS
MA - Matte anodized louvers incorporate an
attractive but subtle grain pattern which minimizes
the visibility of fingerprints and construction dust
without sacrifice to aesthetic qualities.
M4R - 95% Reflective Specular Aluminum louvers
combine glare control and performance with a high
tech, cubed aesthetic.
HEP - High efficiency specular parabolic louvers
maximize downlight for enhanced efficiency where
maximum light output is the primary concern.
High reflectance formed white reflector.
Matte White powder coat standard for end caps and
housing. Zet Silver and additional colors and finishes
optional.
CONTROLS COMPATIBILITY
Controls compatible. When used with occupancy
sensors, most lamp vendors recommend program
start ballasts (EP) to extend lamp life.
SHIELDING
Shielding is provided for single or continuous row.
Options match across entire Microlyne® family.

OA - Opal Acrylic lens emphasizes the narrow
rectilinear shape by creating a pleasant glow of white
along the underside of the housing.
WCB – White Cross Baffle emphasizes linearity with a
crisp, clean bladed appearance.
Not available with all configurations; some
limitations apply. Contact factory for details.
