Exterior ceiling-mounted fluorescent light fixtures are designed to provide reliable illumination in outdoor or semi-outdoor environments, such as building entrances, walkways, parking garages, or covered patios.
Key Features
Weather Resistance: These fixtures are built to withstand moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations. Manufacturer's label reads "Suitable for Damp Locations"
Durable Housing: Made of durable & corrosion-resistant aluminum to handle exposure to the elements.
Ballast-Driven Operation: Uses an electronic ballast to regulate current to the fluorescent tubes. Electronic ballasts are more energy-efficient and quieter.
Ceiling Mount Design: Flush or semi-flush mounted to ceilings, offering a clean look and minimizing obstruction.
Lithonia Lighting was a small company founded 1946 and became a major producer of fluorescent fixtures by the 1950s. It started in a garage with two employees, initially producing general lighting products. By the early 1950s, Lithonia shifted focus to meet growing demand for commercial and industrial fluorescent fixtures.
Lithonia became one of the most specified lighting brands in North America, known for reliability and broad product lines across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
