Natatoriums

Natatoriums luminaires face several challenges, the most significant of which is corrosion. Indirect illumination is recommended to reduce glare and veiling reflections, improving the clarity of underwater viewing and related safety. Kenall’s IN9 Series is purpose built for this wet, hot, corrosive environment, and designed to evenly light the space while remaining serviceable.

Gymnasiums are dynamic spaces with impact challenges from fast moving balls and other objects, which necessitate impact-resistant, durable luminaires and mountings to avoid accidental damage. Also at risk from impact are exit signs and wall plates. Look for fixtures that carry Kenall’s Peace of Mind Guarantee® against breakage as your assurance of durability.
