REFURBISHMENT AT ITS CORE

DIRECT 1-1 REPLACEMENT

College 2 can be used as a simple 1 for 1 replacement for legacy College T8, T5 and LED luminaires already installed. No redecorating is required for surface mounting as the new footprint of College 2 is slightly longer and wider than its predecessor. Replicated fixing points are also featured meaning a fuss free 1-1 replacement.
