Ruud Lighting offers new and improved architectural grade recessed lighting
at contractor direct prices

New commercial construction requires durable, yet stylish, architectural grade lighting fixtures. With that in mind, we’ve introduced a brand new line of architectural grade recessed products that replaces our residential recessed series.

While the new product line delivers architectural quality inside and out with heavy-duty construction and premium features, the fixtures are priced just as low as the previous residential line.

The heavy-gauge steel housing is more robust than residential grade fixtures and is designed for maximum durability. An oversized junction box is easily accessible for wiring and the fixture’s super structure allows one-half inch conduit, C-channel or flat hanger bars to be used. Fixture applications range from eight- to 12-foot high commercial or light industrial areas.

In addition to quality fixture construction, premium optics provide precise light control and high lumen output. Soft-Vue™ reflectors reduce glare and brightness for superior visual cutoff. Four lamp types are available for the new architectural recessed series:

Low Voltage
Incandescent
High-Intensity Discharge
Compact Fluorescent

For architects and designers working with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) certified building designs, compact fluorescent is the most energy-efficient lamp choice, consuming 75 percent less energy than incandescent lamps and lasting 10 times longer.

Before your next recessed lighting project, see our Recessed Application and Planning Guide for suggestions on lamp selection, vertical and horizontal aiming, applications, and photometric data.
