Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of ArcSystem products. ArcSystem is a family of overhead
LED products designed for installations where dimming, light quality, and ease of installation
are absolutely essential. With ArcSystem, you will experience perfectly smooth dimming from
100% down to absolute zero. ArcSystem luminaires come in a variety of form factors, beam
angles, and color-temperature options, all with high-efficiency optics and an outstanding
quality of light ideal for any application.
