Does your spec ask for something you don't see here?

Send the line item exactly as it appears in your project — standard, wattage, ingress rating, colour temperature and site date. We return what can be documented, the technical proposal and the lead time.

Frequently asked

Are your luminaires certified?
Yes. Each product page publishes the certifications that model holds — UL, cULus, ETL, CE, CB, RoHS, DLC, NSF and NOM among others. We publish only what the product supports.
My project requires a standard I don't see in the catalog. What now?
Send us the standard, the scope and the date. We build to the project specification and confirm what can be documented and how long it takes.
Do you provide IES photometric files for DIALux?
Yes, in under 24 hours. We can also deliver the project's photometric study if you need it to bid.
Which standard governs illumination levels in Mexico?
NOM-025-STPS sets minimum task levels in workplaces. Our photometric study delivers the calculated level per zone to support it.
