WashGraze features a patent-pending optical configuration with user-specifiable viewing angles that significantly reduce light loss and maximize efficacy. The IP67-rated LED WashGraze LED drive circuitry and thermal management system reportedly ensures a long operating life. High efficacy within a streamlined mechanical size allows lighting designers to hide the fixture and only deliver light, not the source of the light. www.ddpleds.com.

According to the company, Vitrulan is chlorine-free, emits low volatile organic compounds and has a high permeability rating, making it an option for hygiene-sensitive areas like restaurants and healthcare and assisted living facilities. Vitrulan glass deco fabric provides an easy-to-clean surface that offers no pores and pockets in which microorganisms could accumulate. The addition of a coating including paint and any combination of low-VOC epoxies and polyurethanes creates a durable surface that can even be power-washed and scrubbed. www.vitrulan.com.
