Apr 22, 2019

MaxLite has earned a U.S. patent for the innovative linking design features of its TriMax Vapor Tight fixture. This patent, issued as U.S. Patent No. 10,168,012, brings the number of MaxLite’s issued and pending patents worldwide to 106, a testament to MaxLite’s focus on developing cutting-edge innovation.

The TriMax is engineered with connections at the top of the fixture that maintain a hermetic seal when two or more 4’ fixtures are linked together. By simply snapping a toolless connection bracket into place, installers can uniquely create an IP66 rated lighting solution that is 8’ or longer. In addition, the TriMax is designed with translucent end caps that provide continuity across the entire run of light.

Ideal for warehouses, parking garages, stairwells and other demanding commercial and industrial environments, the TriMax is a waterproof, dustproof and corrosion resistant product that delivers exceptional 130 lumens-per-watt efficacy. In addition, the TriMax is ETL sanitation listed to NSF/ANSI2 standards for use in food service facilities. The DesignLights Consortium (DLC) Premium listed fixture is available in a choice of lumen packages (3,800 or 6,600) and color temperatures (4000K and 5000K), with emergency battery back-up and motion sensor options. The TriMax can be surface or suspension mounted, and provides 50,000 hours of maintenance-free illumination. The product is backed by MaxLite’s five-year limited warranty and lifetime product support.
