February 22, 2013 – Lithonia Lighting introduced “affordable” Contractor Select LED troffer and wraparound luminaires from Acuity Brands. Suitable for replacing T8 fluorescents, both the GTL LED troffer and LBL LED surface-mount wraparound luminaires deliver general ambient light for recessed ceiling applications such as schools, offices and hospitals. LED technology coupled with MVOLT (120-277V) drivers promise colour consistency and an expected service life of at least 50,000 hours. The GTL features a frosted pattern #12 lens to diffuse the light source without compromising lumen output. It is available in 2×2-ft and 2×4-ft configurations. The LBL provide high-angle brightness control through a curved prismatic diffuser and linear side prism. Luminous end plates soften the appearance of the fixture for improved aesthetics. Available in 2-ft and 4-ft configurations, the LBL luminaire is suitable for most surface-mount applications. Both the GTL LED and LBL LED luminaires are damp listed, and CSA certified to Canadian and U.S. standards.
