Lithonia Lighting Recalls Commercial Luminaires Due to Risk of Injury

November 12, 2016

This recall involves Lithonia Lighting BLT series luminaires intended for use in indoor, commercial applications, such as office buildings, schools, and stores. The plastic lens on the luminaire can detach and fall unexpectedly, posing a risk of injury from impact.

The low-profile, recessed LED luminaire is a metal light fixture in a white finish with a rounded or square plastic lens. The fixtures measure about 1, 2 or 4 feet long and 1, 1.5 or 2 feet wide.

Only non-sensor luminaires with a manufacture date from October 2015 through August 2016 are included in this recall. The model and date of manufacture can be found on a label attached to the fixture’s housing and on the product packaging. The date code on the fixture’s housing’s label is in a MM/DD/YY format. The date code on the packaging is in a YYYY/MM/DD format (see photo below).

The firm has received 107 reports of plastic lenses falling from the luminaire. No injuries have been reported. About 398,000 of the Lithonia Lighting BLT series luminaires were sold at lighting and electrical supply distributors nationwide and online. Lithonia advises users to

  • remove the lens and contact Lithonia Lighting for a free repair kit to secure the original lens
  • prevent people from going into the immediate area under the fixtures until the lenses are removed or the luminaires are repaired

A video showing proper lens removal and installation of the repair kit is available at www.lithonia.com/bltvideo.

Contact Lithonia Lighting toll-free at 844-675-2339 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or at www.lithonia.com/. Click on BLT Recall on the left side of the page for more information.
