Secondly, Block delivers on specification capabilities. Nearly every component has alternatives allowing designers to configure a luminaire designed precisely to the needs of the space – a bona fide architectural system. The go-to linear that adapts to a variety of performance needs and budgetary requirements. Design a cleaner lighting layout that follows the architecture and interior design with the new Systems option.
