Architectural Area Lighting (AAL) has expanded the product offering in its Designer SSL Series with the addition of its Promenade™ and Flex™ series of fixtures, as well as higher-lumen, large-scale shapes of its SSL Series' Providence® and Universe® luminaires.
The Designer SSL Series — featuring high-performance light emitting diode (LED) powered versions of the company's most popular fixtures — now includes AAL's Largent™, Providence, Universe, Promenade and Flex fixtures.
"We've received an outstanding response from the field since we launched the Designer SSL Series last November," said MJ Paul, AAL's vice president, brand management. "Just as we did before launching the series, we have taken considerable feedback from architects and specifiers regarding their LED needs. With this information we've been able to expand our offering and make numerous design, performance and capability upgrades."
