MORE LIGHT — LESS COST
Utilizing the latest proven fluorescent technology — brighter T8 or T5 lamps, electronic ballasts, specular reflectors — Mor-Lite's patented textile fixtures deliver light where it is needed.
Mor-Lite Products:
- FLUORESCENT HIGH BAY FIXTURES for warehouse applications. One for one replacement for metal halide — more light and half the energy cost.
HIGH BAY END VIEW: |  |
- SPECULAR REFLECTORS, custom-designed for each production area of your plant, ready to attach to your fluorescent fixtures. (We design the layout and specify fixture size and type.)
- COMPLETE FIXTURE / REFLECTOR UNITS, custom-designed to our layout and ready to install.
- COMPLETE LIGHTING SYSTEMS, designed by Mor-Lite and installed by Mor-Lite's trained textile lighting technicians.
- TUFF-LITETM INDUSTRIAL TASK LIGHTING, enclosed, dust-proof flourescent lighting with specular reflectors and protective lens. Designed and patented by Mor-Lite for tough textile applications where space is limited or where machines are shadowed by overhead obstructions.

“Efficient, great energy saving, high light levels, especially in low ceiling areas and with our machine layout. It's the only way to light a textile plant.”
