High bay LED

The Big Ass High Bay LED from Big Ass Light is made of stamped sheet metal; the LED is constructed from a solid piece of heavy-duty extruded aluminum. Its ribbed fins increase the fixture’s surface area and act as a heat sink, dissipating the heat that shortens the lifespan of LEDs. Its patent-pending lumen maintenance trays protect the LEDs from dirt and debris and redirect light from 55- to 105-deg angles. The Big Ass High Bay LED is a long-term, energy-efficient, and money-saving solution. There is 60-day risk-free trial and a 7-year warranty.

LED precision recessed luminaires

The Aculux 3¼-in. LED luminaires provides commercial lighting designers and specifiers with the ability to emulate the warmth of halogen dimming, commission an exact color temperature post-installation to enhance interior finishes and art, or enable dynamic changing of color temperature to support different moods/space functions throughout the day. In black body dimming mode, the luminaires warm from 3,000 K at 100% output to 1,800 K at 1% output, mirroring the look of halogen dimming. The black body dimming in the luminaires follow the black body locus within a 2-step MacAdam ellipse throughout the entire dimming range for exceptional fixture-to-fixture consistency.
