Construction & Mounting

HOUSING
Sides are 1/2” x 6" thick acoustic sound reduction linear panels and are supplied in nominal lengths of 4 ft., 6 ft., 8 ft.. Side panels are secured with decorative thumb screws. Side panels do not need to be removed during installation or for maintenance. Fixtures may be continuously rowed (contact factory for details). Internal components are constructed from min. 20 gauge die-formed steel. Easy access to driver and LED boards. Custom sizes are available.
REFLECTOR
Integral powder-coated LED housings with excessive reflectivity for increased lumen output is built into our luminaires
FINISH
Please use color chart below to select your acoustic sound reducing panels.
OPTICS
Direct component provided with a soft white acrylic lens formulated for LED light sources. Lens lifts out for maintenance. Indirect LED strips are mounted in an extruded aluminum channel with an integral clear acrylic dust cover.
MOUNTING

  • The table above is a quick reference. When calculating loads make sure you add direct and indirect LPW to get total wattage. Please refer to photometric report for detailed information.
  • Our light engines are precisely designed for optimal operation of LED assemblies.
  • Our standard LED's CCT (correlated color temperature) range is 2700K to 4000K. Other CCT values are available upon request.
  • We log LED bin codes for each project we supply to ensure color consistency and keep a record of those projects for future reference.
  • CRI offered is 80+, and 90+ Note: on 90+ CRI use .85 multiplier
  • Tunable white, warm dim and other special LED colors available.
  • Custom Lumens Available
  • We design our own printed circuit boards to ensure high luminescence efficiency, low thermal resistance and long-term reliable operation.
  • Light engines are easily replaced.
  • We use only recognized brand LED's with 3 SDCM (standard deviation color matching) with high color consistency. 2 SDCM available upon request.
  • If you require a special LED manufacturer, please contact us. LED chip manufacturers used by Picasso are primarily (but not limited to) Nichia, Cree and Samsung.
  • LRP - “LED Reel Program” – LED’s for printed circuit boards come on reels’ like old 8mm projectors and they're sold in lots just like fabric.

  • Rated life (90% survivorship) of 50,000 hours at 50º C max. ambient (and 70º C max. case) temperature. At maximum driver load: Efficiency >84%, PF>0.9, THD<20%.
  • POE - We are working with Molex/Igor POE systems. We can add a POE driver into our fixtures or remote them. Based on the fixture you select, we will notify you (or you can contact the factory) to see if we can install the P-driver or the P-driver needs to be remote. Just add POE1 in the spec and we will advise. Please keep in mind you need to specify a complete POE control system before specifying POE1.
  • Our LED drivers feature HPF (high power factor), universal voltage 110 - 277 VAC and include 0-10V dimming.
  • Emergency drivers are factory installed as an option, long life, high temperature, recyclable Ni-Cad battery pack with test switch and charge indicator. EMR is minimum of 90 minutes operation to meet code.
  • Whip - Six feet long, wiring RHOS/Reach Compliant, 18 gauge, 600v rated, Specify wired to the fixture as an OPTION.
