Luminaire LED’s new VCM8 luminaire is a corner mount fixture that withstands physical impact and environmental abuse.
The VCM8 luminaire’s soft edges and eye-pleasing design combined with a robust construction make it ideal for high-abuse, highly visible environments such as industrial hallways, public restrooms, natatoriums, or train stations.
In addition to its architectural aesthetics, VCM8 contains other features such as an IK10 rating for outstanding impact resistance, an IP65 rating, and a highly durable finish that withstands a 4,000-hour salt spray test. Combined with ligature-resistant and tamper-resistant hardware, VCM8 is offered with a lifetime warranty against vandalism.
Ceiling, pendant and wall mount options are available for the 8-inch-wide luminaire, as well as two, three, or four-foot lengths. Optics provide direct illumination in a range of static white color temperatures from 2700K to 5000K. Red or amber night light options are available.
“With its IK10 and IP65 ratings, VCM8 is an exceptional addition to the Vision family,” said Cleveland Blankenship, business unit leader at Luminaire LED. “The subtle corner mount option gives engineers the flexibility to incorporate a discreet architectural look for high-abuse environments.”

Government of Canada Invests in Training for Skilled Trades Certification
The Canadian government is making targeted investments, so that key groups facing barriers—like women, newcomers, Indigenous people, persons with disabilities, and Black and racialized Canadians—can better find work in the skilled trades through projects led by unions and their partner organizations.
The investment will be $63.5 million, over five years, for 68 projects as part of the Union Training and Innovation Program (UTIP) 2020 call for proposals. The aim is to help certify skilled tradespeople and prepare them to fill available jobs as the economy restarts.
