TruGroove - Linear Recessed
Overview
Engineered for Exceptional Performance.
TruGroove offers the best possible combination of lighting control and brightness to create a balanced luminous environment with smooth, even gradients of light throughout the space.
A Cinch to Install.
TruGroove’s unique cable-cinch design makes installation simple—a feature that saves time and money.
Few and Far Between.
TruGroove's exceptional lighting distribution lends itself to wide row spacing—enabling lighting designers to create more uniformly illuminated environments, using fewer fixtures and less energy.
True Batwing Distribution
Trugroove delivers the best possible combination of lighting control and brightness to create a balanced luminous environment, with smooth, even gradients of light throughout the space.
All asymmetric versions of TruGroove are designed to deliver superior uniformity of vertical illuminanace—providing controlled luminance with reduced consumption.
Exceptional Performance
TruGroove's exceptional symmetric distribution lends itself to wide row spacing—enabling lighting designers to create more uniformly illuminated environments, using fewer fixtures and less energy.
With highly controlled asymmetric distribution, Trugroove delivers excellent uniformity against the vertical surface.
Seamless Ribbons of Light
A seamlessly continuous design, offers the freedom to specify infinite lengths for pure, continuous lines of uninterrupted luminance, free of socket shadows, hot spots and glare.

Specifications (LED)
Housing
Die-formed 20 gauge cold rolled steel. Multiple wire entrances are available on top to allow continuous row mounting of fixtures.
Optical System
White light emitted from the LED sources passes through a biconvex lens where it is internally reflected and laterally refocused. Light is then redirected by Miro Silver reflectors and exits through the optical lens assembly. The optical lens assembly consists of multiple acrylic extrusion profiles holding a layer of MesoOptics film, creating an uninterrupted continuum of light.
Lumen Maintenance
At an ambient operating temperature of 30°C, the LED lifetime expectation is L80 > 60,000h.
Finish
Extruded aluminum trim and die-cast endplates coated with electrostatically applied and thermally cured polyester powder coat paint finish.
Weight
Maximum 3.5lb/ft
Mounting
Mounting brackets on side of housing supports T-Grid installation. The 1/16” diameter aircraft cable with self-locking, tamper-resistant, miniature cable gripper provides vertical adjustment for drywall. Aircraft cable, crimp and cable gripper independently tested to meet stringent safety requirements.
Electrical
Factory pre-wired to section ends with quick-wire connectors.
Drivers
Standard non-dimming or 0-10V dimming (10-100%) available. Power factor >90%. Output is Class 2 rated.
Approvals
Certified to UL, IES & CSA Standards. Insulation Contact (IC) rated.
Environment
Rated for dry or damp locations in operating ambient temperatures of 0-40°C (32-104°F).
Controls
Available with Airwave wireless controls and/or Response integrated daylight harvesting sensors.
Specifications (Fluorescent)
Housing
Die-formed 20 gauge cold rolled steel with aluminum trim. Multiple wire entrances are available on top to allow continuous row mounting of fixtures.
Optical System
The optical lens assembly consists of multiple acrylic extrusion profiles holding a layer of MesoOptics which efficiently controls high angle glare. The reflector system comprises Miro Silver reflectors optimized to work with MesoOptics to simultaneously homogenize light while creating a batwing distribution in the lower hemisphere.
Weight
Maximum 3.5lb/ft
Mounting
Mounting brackets on side of housing supports t-bar installation. 1/16” diameter aircraft cable with self-locking, tamper-resistant, miniature cable gripper provides vertical adjustment for drywall. Aircraft cable, crimp and cable gripper independently tested to meet stringent safety requirements.
