HTM Lighting’s New Linear Product is Ingenious! HTM Lighting has introduced High Performance Linear Lighting (PLL), a revolutionary new product that has been designed to be customized on-demand by the customer for any length and color. You might be asking, “What makes this lighting different from fluorescent fixtures?” The special feature of the PLL is to produce a blanket of lighting without any shadows within overexposed areas (that may be produced by standard lighting). The PLL is equipped with T8 High Performance or T5HO fluorescent bulbs and features a high-performance bright-polished aluminum reflector (enabling an additional luminosity yield of up to 30 percent). The PLL allows lighting up to ten feet high. The PLL 145 (2 rows of fluorescent bulbs) and PLL 100 (1 row of fluorescent bulb) combine specially studied design and functionality in order to adapt to all situations and produce a harmonious effect. The PLL is made available in extruded aluminum, making it light and robust at the same time (aluminum’s recognized qualities). HTM Lighting also offers 180 RAL colors to choose from and 3 different colors of light The PLL has been designed for outdoor or indoor use in the following applications: display signage, channel letters, banners, monuments, and window boxes.
