Meet Certolux Alto
The Certolux ALTO Troffer is a high-performance, design-forward lighting solution for healthcare environments, offering both standard and medical-grade versions. Its unique form, where light visually falls away at the corners, creates a softer, more architectural presence compared to traditional troffers. Available in 1×4, 2×2 (up to 5,000 lumens), and 2×4 (up to 7,000 lumens), ALTO also includes an MD-2 patient room version with ambient, exam, reading, and white or amber night light functions via low-voltage switching. As part of Certolux’s broader healthcare lighting lineup, ALTO delivers both performance and aesthetic consistency across patient rooms and clinical spaces.
