Also, our Connected Solutions program offers a broad range of connected luminaires that give contractors greater latitude to choose from.”

Focal Point will showcase several products that specifically meet the needs of contractors, such as a new ID+ 4.5² round and square Downlight. The new luminaire provides the latest in LED technology with increased performance and efficacy. As with most Focal Point products, it is easy to install and provides great flexibility.

Another popular aperture for commercial projects, the ID+ 3.5² round and square Downlight, will also be on display.

Seem^™ 1 Acoustic, part of Focal Point’s Acoustics Solutions program, will be represented with lit and unlit units. The flexible linear luminaire and baffle system is designed to increase comfort and well-being while meeting the design and budget needs of each project. The integrated lighting and sound management system leverages the powerful light engine of Seem 1 and controls sound, using eco-friendly, patent-pending AirCore technology to maximize sound absorption with a per unit Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 1.05.

Another popular product to be shown is Amica 2, an economical architectural troffer designed for shallow plenum applications. The low profile luminaire is known for its superior performance that meets the DesignLights Consortium^® (DLC) Premium status, as well as its integration capabilities with building control systems.
