Field Proven Performance

The MAX lighting system consists of a light head, cabling and a ballast assembly. The light head is a high pressure underwater housing capable of withstanding high temperatures and high external pressures, and it encloses an HID gas arc lamp or a standard quartz halogen filament lamp. The light head has several interchangeable reflectors depending on the application for the light. All MAX light mid bodys and end caps are the same, only the reflectors and lamp sockets are changed depending on the application and lamp chosen at the time of the order.
