Potential Safety Hazard Leads Lithonia Lighting to Recall LBL4W LED Fixture

Lithonia Lighting

Lithonia Lighting, a division of Acuity Brands Lighting, Inc., has received reports of the lens used on the LBL4W LED fixture (4-foot wide housing) manufactured between February 2016 and March 2017 detaching from the fixture and becoming loose or falling. No injuries have been reported.

Lithonia Lighting has determined that the lenses became loose or fell because the lens was not made to the specified dimensions. This prevented some lenses from being secured in the fixture.

The fixtures are painted white metal and measure about four feet long with a low profile, curved plastic diffuser lens (cover).  The plastic diffuser lens measures 4 feet long by 15 inches wide.  Only fixtures manufactured between February 2016 and March 2017 are included in this recall.

Lithonia Lighting, the model number and the date of manufacture are printed on a label attached to the fixture’s housing. The date code is in the MM/DD/YY format on the fixture’s housing.

Contact Lithonia Lighting to receive a free lens to repair the unit. Consumers should prevent people from going into the immediate area under the fixtures until the lenses are repaired. A video showing proper lens removal and repair is available at www.lithonia.com/LBL4Wvideo.
