Available in 4-, 6- and 12-inch apertures, GRUV HE luminaires are offered for use in gypsum board, Armstrong TechZone™, USG Logix™, slot and t-grid ceilings and in both standard lengths as well as runs.  Fixtures can be individual or continuous row-mounted using a drawer latching system that provides easy and precise joining of units for straight runs, wall runs with J channels, or in T or L shaped patterns (4" and 6" only).

With improved steel construction, the GRUV HE also features integral bend-out mounting tabs to lock on ceiling rid runners, sliding lamp trays that adjust light to the end of runs eliminating dead spots.  An extruded aluminum trim for precision interfacing with most ceiling suspension systems, a flush lens and design details result in a clean ceiling alignment.  High performance optics includes a formed reflector made from high reflectance materials applied to steel and an engineered lens that deliver maximum efficiency, excellent light transmission and light source concealment.
