By Bill Plageman

"To help contractors deliver projects on time and on budget, one manufacturer is making it’s high-end, architectural grade lights available to design-build contractors with quality products that feature easy installation and rapid delivery," Plageman said. "Contractors have been asking for these products for years to meet clients’ schedules and Amerlux answered with step lights that work in any situation and pre-wired pendant lights that both include delivery in a few short days, not weeks."

A step forward with Passo step lights

The Passo step light was designed for both contractors and building owners.

For contractors, the benefits include pliable back boxes and quick deliveries. The backbox is constructed from flexible plastic, providing leeway for the installer. If there’s a bit of extra mortar in the light cavity, no problem, there’s enough slack in the back box to accommodate it and keep the seal intact.

Building owners appreciate the sealed optical chamber that prevents water and dust intrusion issues, as well as the high-quality decorative faceplates. This means less maintenance and safety issues.

Passo step lights ship in 10 days or less.

Quick-Line Linea makes a fine line

Linear pendent lighting can be annoying to install—usually requiring disassembling the fixtures to run the wiring. With Quick-Line, Amerlux took its popular architectural Linea product line and fashioned it in standard pre-wired sizes to make it more efficient for contractors to install.

The result is a spec-grade product at a competitive price point that can be on your job site in just 72 hours from your completed order.

On Monday, you choose how many 4-feet, 6-feet or 8-feet middle-of-run lengths you need, choose a 6- or 9-wire harness, and buy end-caps.

It’s delivered on Thursday. On Friday, you install. The wiring in each section is fitted with quick-connects for easy installation. Featuring latches that effortlessly connect the sections, installation is as simple link it, latch it, cap it and done.
