Max 2.5 Dropped Lens is the two-and-a-half-inch dropped-lens member of Picasso Lighting's budget-minded Max recessed series, built to maximize brightness in general office spaces with a clean, stark appearance. The extruded frosted-acrylic snap-in lens drops 1/2 inch below the ceiling plane, and extruded-aluminum housings come in 4, 6, 8, and 12 ft nominal lengths plus custom sizes (1 in increments) with continuous rowing available; internal components are minimum 20-gauge die-formed steel with easy driver/LED-board access and unrestricted ceiling thickness. Published direct output runs 350 lm/ft at 4.1 W/ft through 1,000 lm/ft at 11.8 W/ft (85 lm/W at 3000K). CCTs are 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K plus tunable white (0-10V control), in 80-85 or 90-95 CRI with 3 SDCM binning and 50,000-hour rated LED life. Mounting options cover 9/16 and 15/16 flat-tee grid (tegular or flat tile), 9/16 slot-grid and Interlude tee, and trim or trimless sheetrock installs. Drivers are universal 110-277 VAC with 0-10V 1% dimming; non-dim, Lutron EcoSystem 1%, and Lutron Athena wireless-node options are published, with DALI/DMX/PoE via factory, plus occupancy-sensor, emergency battery-backup, 6 ft whip, vertical-lens, and BABAA-compliant options. The Max 2.5 profile is part of Picasso's EZ install/ship program, qualifies as Made in America, is IBEW manufactured and assembled in the USA in Moonachie, NJ, UL listed for dry and damp locations, and carries a limited five-year warranty.
