Pleasing Aesthetics A graceful geometric form delineated by crisp, clean lines, Plank offers a wide selection of aesthetic and performance options.

Plank places soft, comfortable light on ceilings, walls, and work areas by utilizing direct and indirect components.

2 Pleasing Aesthetics A graceful geometric form delineated by crisp, clean lines, Plank offers a wide selection of aesthetic and performance options. With a surprisingly low 2 profile, this slender rectilinear shape merges simplicity with sophistication. Plank places soft, comfortable light on ceilings, walls, and work areas by utilizing direct and indirect components. This harmonious blending of uplight and downlight creates a spacious and natural effect. Low Ceiling Heights Low ceiling heights no longer preclude the use of attractive architectural fluorescent lighting. Plank Plus Liso incorporates a revolutionary light delivery system to spread light evenly above the luminaire, minimizing hot spots of light when mounted close to the ceiling. By providing a choice of either T8 or T5/T5 HO lamp and ballast technology, the Liso system will adhere to any project s standard lamp specification. Plank and Plank Plus Liso allow a consistent aesthetic to be carried throughout a facility even when ceiling heights and performance requirements vary. Structural Excellence Plank and Plank Plus Liso are engineered and manufactured for maximum strength, smooth installation, and structural excellence. Alera s patented die cast inner joiners (patent #6,796,676 B2) assure straight rows. Tongue and groove connections prevent light leak. Simple plug and play wiring facilitates effortless installation. Easily adjustable cable yoke hangers maintain a low and pleasing profile to augment the slender 2 housing depth. Wide Selection

Wide Selection Aesthetic Selections Solid Housing Shielding Options The solid housing (standard) accentuates the simple geometric shape of both Plank and Plank Plus Liso.

White Cross Baffle (WCB) WCB Plank and Plank Plus Liso offer wide aesthetic selections.

This unparalleled versatility allows the desired aesthetic to be subtly varied within a theme or carried throughout an installation where performance requirements and ceiling heights fluctuate.

4 Wide Selection Aesthetic Selections Solid Housing Shielding Options The solid housing (standard) accentuates the simple geometric shape of both Plank and Plank Plus Liso. The solid housing plane emphasizes the slender rectilinear form. This understated e l e g a n c e c a n be highlighted with a variety of shielding options, as shown in these examples. White Cross Baffle (WCB) WCB Plank and Plank Plus Liso offer wide aesthetic selections. Multiple housing, lamp, performance, and shielding options make the total combination of choices over 200 strong. This unparalleled versatility allows the desired aesthetic to be subtly varied within a theme or carried throughout an installation where performance requirements and ceiling heights fluctuate. Perforated Strip Housing (PFST) Shielding Options This option adds a linear perforated strip along each side of the shielding. This symmetric addition of suffused light on the face of the housing increases visual interest and serves to highlight the center shielding. In addition to the standard perf pattern shown here, a diamond pattern (DPST), or custom patterns such as slots or squares may be requested. High Performance

6 High Performance Performance Comparisons Point-by-Point Results These charts provide apples-to-apples comparisons between Plank and Plank Plus Liso. Plank fixtures are mounted on a 9 ceiling, suspended 18 from the ceiling plane to the bottom of the housing. Plank Plus Liso fixtures are mounted on 8 and ceilings, suspended 12 from the ceiling plane to the bottom of the housing.

The candela plot should appear even with minimal peaks and valleys along the distribution curve. Fluctuations may indicate a trend toward dark striping or bright spots. The low, wide, modest V shape indicates the product will trend toward a wide and even throw with a reduction of light at the center (directly above the fixture housing) to produce a perception of even lighting on the ceiling plane.
