Correctional Dayrooms & Catwalks Lighting Security in Plain Sight

Correctional dayrooms are shared, supervised spaces used for socialization, dining, recreation, and programming. Dayroom lighting must balance security and durability with occupant comfort. Open dayrooms often feature large floor areas, elevated ceilings, and adjoining catwalks. Fixtures should provide consistent illumination across seating, recreation, dining, and circulation areas while maintaining appropriate vertical illumination for facial recognition and surveillance.

Durable Lighting for Dayrooms & Catwalks

Combined catwalks and open dayrooms often call for different lighting fixtures. In these supervised areas, dayrooms typically utilize less severe looking high abuse fixtures to convey a friendlier, less institutional aesthetic. Conversely, fixtures for catwalks are typically more accessible to detainees, and therefore require tough, security rated fixtures.

Durable, high-abuse luminaires help withstand tampering and abuse without compromising aesthetics. Kenall’s Mighty Mac series provides secure, dependable lighting solutions that enhance both facility operations and occupant comfort in correctional dayroom and catwalk applications.

Reliable Illumination for Secure Environments

High-quality illumination is desired while also prioritizing a reduced energy consumption and maintenance requirements. Kenall never compromises on materials or components, so you can rest assured that our Mighty Mac series will perform — as promised — in even the most challenging correctional environments.
