Seismic Fixture Clamps for Earthquake-Safe Ceilings
An effective way to attach lighting fixtures to suspended ceilings in Seismic Regions. The patented SFC is the first effective and approved positive connection device proven to meet Building Code requirements.
Tested at University of California San Diego
AGI was one of many partners in the shake table tests at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). The SFC was installed on all the light fixtures in the suspended ceilings of the five story structure that was tested at UCSD. The light fixtures worked before, during and after the tests.
