Bathrooms and powder rooms are functional necessities for modern living. Because of their location, it's essential to choose damp-rated fixtures that offer the correct illumination.

Undercabinet Lighting

Undercabinet Lighting

Low Profile Illumination
Undercabinet lighting's bright illumination eliminates shadows thrown by overhead lights. It offers additional light that shines where needed on the counters where food prep occurs, over the stovetop, or on the sink. JA8 compliant luminaire form factors such as puck or bars from HALO, WAC Lighting, DALS, Rayon Lighting, and ALUZ are the right choice for kitchens and work areas.

With more than 622,000 building permits granted in the U.S. in 2021, compared to 492,000 over the previous twelve months, the demand for multi-family housing has never been greater (Statista). Multi-family housing is defined as a building or complex containing several separate houses in which multiple family units live exclusively. Multi-family homes come in many configurations, with apartments being the most common example.

New multi-family units, as well as existing units, require efficient and effective lighting that is also aesthetically appealing to residents. Our multi-family lighting planner offers luminaires in all categories that meet the criteria of performance and light quality to increase consumer adoption of high-efficacy lighting and provide the consumers/end users with a broader choice of lighting solutions. The project template includes JA8 compliant lighting options for apartment interiors, as well as lighting options for common areas, including hallways, lobbies, clubhouses, pool decks, garages, and more.
