The Right Combination of
Aesthetics and Performance
C
entera from Simkar is the smart
alternative for replacing outdated
fluorescent technology found in older-
style troffers and parabolic fixtures. This
breakthrough technology offers a stunning
architectural appearance while delivering flawless
light distribution throughout the space. Centera’s
fully luminous lens and high performance
light sources deliver the right combination of
aesthetics and illumination at a low cost of
operation.
Centera provides uniform illumination over the
entire face of the luminaire without annoying
glare or light source imaging. The result is soft,
even lighting across the working space, as well
as adjacent vertical and horizontal surfaces.
This eliminates shadows and dark cave effects
associated with older parabolic luminaires,
and reduces the number of fixtures needed
for a given space without sacrificing occupant
comfort.

Advanced Lens Technology
Simkar developed its high transmission lens
using advanced resin technology that transmits
greater, more uniform illumination. The result
is superior illumination on all surfaces without
imaging or shadowing, and at higher efficiencies.
Traditional A12 lenses are less effective with light
transmission, losing up to 35% within the fixture.
