A new App is now available on the App Store. Southern California based manufacturer of specification grade, linear fluorescent fixtures, Bartco Lighting, has released an iPhone/iPad App to aid architects and lighting designers in the specification of luminaires. With real time updates, all current technical data is instantly available. Among its functions, Bartco Lighting’s App allows you to browse their specialty lines, select fixtures, and receive cutsheets while on the go.

The first main function of the App is to be able to compare and view all of Bartco Lighting’s specialty lines. It is easy to browse through many of the already popular fixtures to see which line is best for your next lighting project. View photos and specs for each fixture and even email photos and cutsheets.

The App also allows the user to find a Bartco Representative Agency nearby. It has the ability to list reps in the order of the closest proximity* of the user and even includes a map function for easy accessibility. Call, email, or visit representative website directly from the App.

Want to see Bartco Lighting in action? Use the App to find out where you can view Bartco Lighting products being showcased. Find out what exact fixtures were used in each installation*, and let the map function guide you to each site. You can also use the App to specify which fixture is being used in any Bartco Lighting project. Simply snap a photo and email it to Bartco Lighting directly from the App to quickly distinguish a luminaire*.

As mobile platforms increasingly become intertwined with our daily lives, the architecture, construction, and even home decorating industries are quickly benefiting from building material manufacturers’ continual exploration of the medium.  From paint manufacturers to flooring manufacturers, project management apps, and Bartco Lighting’s new app, instant access to such information is creating a streamlined workflow for the construction industry.

Bartco Lighting is an award-winning (i.e. LightFair Int’l Innovation Award, Architects Choice for Excellence - ACE, LUMEN Feltman Award) manufacturer of specification grade linear luminaires, specializing in T5, T8, T6, and LED.  Their manufacturing facility is in Huntington Beach, CA U.S.A., and their fixtures are IBEW made and labeled.
