Generate incremental revenue FAST with troffer component kits from A.L.P.
A.L.P. has teamed up with RLR Industries to create a family of four troffer component kits that can help you quickly drive incremental revenue without tying up the resources and time needed to develop your own fixture line.
The ELFT kits leverage architectural troffer diffusers from RLR with A.L.P.’s proven, durable EL housings and door frames. Offered in standard 2’x2’ and 2’ x 4’ sizes, they also feature a new externally mounted driver compartment, resulting in an uncluttered fixture housing cavity that improves performance, versatility, and contributes to the shadow-free illumination of the thermoformed diffuser.
The uniformly luminous, evenly diffused component sets produce a specification grade troffer with visual sculpture and depth. The diffusers are offered in four design themes that emulate popular architectural design trends, so the troffers are suitable for applications across a variety of commercial spaces.

Press Release: A.L.P.® Joins RLR Industries to Launch a Troffer Luminaire Component Kit Line
(Niles, IL) A.L.P. has teamed up with RLR Industries to introduce a family of four troffer component kits that can help lighting OEMs to quickly drive incremental revenue without devoting resources and time needed to develop their own line. The ELFT kits leverage architectural troffer diffusers from RLR with A.L.P.’s proven, durable EL housings and door frames. Offered in standard 2’x2’ and 2’ x 4’ sizes, they also feature a new externally mounted driver compartment, resulting in an uncluttered fixture housing cavity that improves performance, versatility, and contributes to the shadow-free illumination of the thermoformed diffuser.
The uniformly luminous, evenly diffused component sets produce a specification grade troffer with visual sculpture and depth. The diffusers are offered in four design themes that emulate popular architectural design trends, so the troffers are suitable for applications across a variety of commercial spaces.
The unique conditions in today’s lighting market present challenges for lighting OEMs. “These component kits will allow our customers a hassle-free opportunity to introduce new fixtures,” explains Adam Mayse, A.L.P.’s Metals Business Unit Manager. “All they need to do is add electronics using either Standard or Emitter LED boards, and they are good to go,” he adds.
“As a manufacturer of engineered plastics solutions for nearly 70 years, our goal remains to produce components that combine attractive designs and innovative materials,” states Stewart Lewis, Vice President at RLR Industries. “This design partnership with A.L.P. broadens the availability and opportunity to feature RLR’s proprietary plastics in more fixtures and settings,” Lewis says.

Press Release: A.L.P.® Purchases Key Assets of Sur-Seal Optical Molding Business
(Niles, IL) A.L.P.® has expanded our industry-leading optical silicone molding capabilities by purchasing molding machines and other key assets from Sur-Seal LLC. The equipment is installed in the Charlevoix, MI facility and is operational. As a result, A.L.P. will have six presses capable of molding Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) in Charlevoix and has plans to expand this technology to our Monterrey, MX facility in fiscal year 2023. Sur-Seal, in turn, will turn their focus to the core business of producing silicone gaskets.
“A.L.P. sees a great future in optical silicone molding for LED outdoor, industrial and automotive lighting applications,” states Tom Barnes, Vice President and Business Unit Manager. “The opportunity to cooperate with Sur-Seal in this equipment transfer, as they transition out of LSR optics, puts A.L.P. in a strong position to fulfill that emerging demand,” he adds.
A.L.P.’s tie-barless molding machines have advanced production features, including a built-in conveyor, ERC robot, Electro Servo injection, and coining technology. We can currently mold silicone parts up to 200 square inches. This precision silicone equipment, combined with our tooling and optical engineering expertise, makes A.L.P. a superior business partner to quickly take projects from concept to production.

A.L.P. Introduces the Lineman™ Utility Grade Post-Top Globe
(Niles, IL) A.L.P. is pleased to announce the introduction of the Lineman™, a new utility-grade post-top globe. Designed to illuminate walkways, parks, and roadways, the Lineman features a nostalgic, turn-of-the-century shape with modern material choices for an economical alternative to other performance globes.
It is versatile, attractive, and affordable. The Lineman features a configurable top so that the appearance can be customized for any application. In addition, multiple finished shapes can be created by adding cap or finial options.
This new utility-grade post-top is easy to install and maintain. The innovative locking design allows the top and bottom to be efficiently shipped and then permanently field assembled with no tools. Manufactured in acrylic for longevity without discoloration, the Lineman is compatible with LED lamp sources and poles with a height of 10’ to 20’.
The Lineman is the latest addition to the 400 Series injection molded post-tops from the A.L.P. LexaLite brand. It can be shipped economically in two or three pieces. In addition, it has the same maximum diameter (15.9”) as A.L.P.’s popular The Lindy® refractor, offering the potential for component sharing.
For OEM and retrofit applications, A.L.P.’s traditionally styled Lineman post-top globe is a less expensive alternative to other performance optics that does not compromise on the durability and versatility integral to the 400 Series.

Press Release: A.L.P. Introduces the Sentry® Barricade™ Lens for Outstanding Vaportight Performance
(Niles, IL) A.L.P. Lighting Components is pleased to announce the introduction of Sentry® Barricade™, a new 4-ft injection-molded low-profile lens. It is the newest addition to A.L.P.’s line of rugged lenses for the flagship Sentry® Series enclosed and gasketed fixture kits. Featuring a contemporary look and outstanding performance, the new lens modernizes the Sentry Series line while maintaining the existing benefits of robust construction and a large compartment size.
Designed by the injection molding experts from A.L.P. LexaLite®, Sentry Barricade’s molded-in texture offers superior lamp hiding. In addition, a new gasket compression rib results in superior sealing for extreme environments.
The Sentry Barricade lens is available in clear acrylic, Lumieo® (frosted acrylic), and clear polycarbonate. Regardless of the light source, the clear and Lumieo options provide visual comfort while maintaining high efficacy. The clear polycarbonate version will stand up to applications requiring impact resistance and is a more economical choice than A.L.P.’s current thermoformed offering.
Suspended vaportight Sentry enclosures are suitable for wet, damp, dusty, and cold applications such as parking garages, car washes, industrial buildings, and horticultural spaces. Samples are available now.

Meet the Team: Lisa Yeadon
As Director of Marketing Communications for A.L.P. Lighting Components and Bill Brown Sales, Lisa is responsible for developing and implementing integrated marketing communications strategies that align with business objectives. She facilitates sales enablement and demand generation activities by developing multimedia sales tools, such as digital and social media, trade shows and events, advertising and PR, and presentations and collateral.
A native of Yorkshire, England, Lisa moved to the US in high school and lived all over the East Coast before making Chicago her home 19 years ago. She is one of a set of triplets, with two identical brothers, and her family includes husband Bob and four adult children ranging in age from 18 to 29.
She was always studious and somewhat of a bookworm. Lisa rekindled her passion for education by getting a master’s degree in Organizational Communication from DePaul University, a whopping 30 years after completing undergrad. It was an eye-opening experience! Since then, she has also attained post-graduate certificates in Digital Marketing and Corporate Communications from Cornell University.
One of Lisa’s favorite career stories happened early in her tenure with A.L.P. When unforeseen circumstances threatened to derail her first sales event, CEO Steve Brown gave her some memorable business advice that she still heeds today; “It’s not how well you plan, but how well you react when your plans go wrong!”
