SPECIFICATION INFORMATION

Construction

Housing is constructed of durable die-formed steel in standard lengths of 4' and 8'. Snap-on ballast cover allows easy, time-saving access to the ballast and wiring, even with lamps installed. Fixture relamps quickly from above, with no fixture components to remove. End caps are molded polystyrene and attach to the housing with no visible fasteners. For continuous row applications, fixtures can be firmly locked together with rigid bolt connections. Aligners supplied as standard to eliminate light trespass at connections and ensure a tight fit between fixtures.

Finish

Exterior metal parts are painted after fabrication with durable corrosion resistant powder coat finish. Custom colors available upon request. End caps finished to match housing color.

Shielding

The WCB, GL, and LD louvers lift and shift for easy access to the ballast, with safety tethers provided as standard for additional safety. Louver removal not necessary for lamp replacement. Constructed of heavy gauge die formed steel, the baffles are finished in gloss white or matte gray enamel as specified. The baffles are 1" deep with 24 cells on the WCB and GL louvers providing a 27º parallel shielding angle. The LD louver is 1-1/4" deep with 14 cells, providing a 21º parallel shielding.

Mounting

The ME series is designed for suspended installation from the ceiling. The standard mounting is an 18" pendant with all matte white components.

Labels and Electrical

All fixtures bear appropriate UL labels. Fixtures are prewired with class “P” ballasts for T8 operation as appropriate, available with universal voltage (120-277V). Lampholders are medium bi-pin with edge-wipe contacts.
