Crossroads Suspension
Manufacturer: Tech Lighting
Tech Lighting's new Crossroads suspension luminaire is inspired by the glow of big-city streets and intersections at night. Made of sheets of raw steel—protected with a clear lacquer coat and accented by brass spot-welding at the joints—the 46”-long by 6”-high by 4.5”-deep fixture has a rugged, industrial look. Coordinating pieces include a 13” x 3” ADA-compliant wall sconce and a 10.5” x 3.5” low-voltage cylindrical pendant. All three fixtures come with halogen and LED (120-volt and 27-volt) lamping options.
