FALL RIVER, MASS. (May 22, 2002)— Lightolier's Architectural Decorative division announces a new option to its BowShield range of ADA compliant wall sconces with the addition of integral Emergency Battery Packs. When specified with energy efficient, long life (10,000 hours) compact fluorescent sources, this series is well suited for use in circulation and hospitality spaces, where the lights are on continuously.

BowShield sconces feature a "bowed" piece of handcrafted glass that slips into a die-cast holder, creating a versatile range of clean architectural forms and textures. Each style is offered in two distinctive proportions and the die-cast holders are available in either Satin Brass or Satin Nickel finishes. There is a choice of Universal Voltage Electronic, Dimmable Electronic or High Power Factor Magnetic ballasts, plus the newly added Emergency Battery Pack.
