INTENDED USE

Enclosed Linear Fluorescent

Surface-mounted enclosed luminaire provides general illumination for rough service,

ceiling or wall mount applications. Ideal for areas that require higher levels of protection
from physical assault, while providing proper illumination for safety or security. Certain
airborne contaminants can diminish integrity of acrylic. Click here for Acrylic Environmental Compatibility table for suitable uses.

ATTRIBUTES
Designed for high efficiency, low lens brightness, and excellent lens surface
uniformity. Uses T8 and T5 lamps and electronic ballast components.

2 or 3 Lamps
2' or 4' Length

CONSTRUCTION
Housing Heavy-duty, 16-gauge galvanneal steel, one-piece housing for durability
and security.
Ballast Cover Ballast and lampholders are installed to ballast cover to provide easy
installation and service. Ballast cover safety chains included.
Gasket One piece, closed cell neoprene pad mounting gasket is factory-installed to
help seal against moisture, dust and insects.
FINISH
Five-stage iron-phosphate pretreatment ensures superior paint adhesion and rust
resistance. Painted parts finished with high-reflectance, white polyester powder coat.
OPTICAL SYSTEM
Clear prismatic, injection-molded and UV-stabilized polycarbonate lens (0.130 inch
thickness) completely encloses face and all sides of housing. No exposed metal
surfaces. Lens is secured to housing with tamper-resistant TORX TX-20 screws with
center-pin reject (included). Optional lens (SCE) features easily removable molded-in
lens membranes centered over endplate knockouts for surface conduit and wiring
access. See instructions for continuous row mounting.
