Slim Residential Downlights for Tight Ceilings
Commercial Exit and Emergency Lighting
Exit and emergency lighting are included in the life safety scope of most commercial electrical plans. By the time electrical contractors are working from the drawings, fixture types and locations are already defined in the plans. The real questions tend to be practical ones. How will the fixtures mount to the existing ceiling or wall? What battery system will support the required emergency runtime? Are the units readily available to keep the pro Read more Commercial Exit and Emergency Lighting

The Portor PT-DLSM2-R surface mount downlight is designed for situations where recessed lighting simply will not work.
