Metalumen - Ideas brought to light

By Segment

Engineered for Pools.
Built to Last.

The NATA family delivers brilliant, durable lighting for the harshest natatorium environments.

Lighting You Can Trust. Peace of Mind Your Pool Deserves.

Protected Against the Elements

Built to resist what others can't. A natatorium-grade finish , aluminum housing, and stainless hardware protect against chlorine, humidity, and chemicals.

Service Made Simple

Perimeter-mounted design makes every fixture accessible from the deck - no scaffolding, no emptying the pool.

Glare Free by Design

Wide, forward-throw optics deliver uniform, low-glare illumination that meet strict IES pool standards.

Performance That Endures

Advanced thermal management keeps LEDs cool in humid environments, extending life and reliability.

Powerful, Precise, Perimeter Lighting

Up to 40,000 lumens per unit with wide forward-throw optics that illuminate the pool from the deck – no fixtures above the water, ever.

Optional Direct Optics

Dual-output luminaire with forward-throw pool lighting plus optional low-glare downlight for deck safety.

The Product

High Efficiency

Up to 122 lumens per watt with universal voltage and dimming drivers for energy savings.

Strength You Can Trust

Mounting arms strength-tested to 900 lbs guarantee reliable, secure installation.

Corrosion-Proof Durability

Built with precision die-formed aluminum and stainless steel hardware for long-term resilience.

Sealed for Life

IP65 construction with laser welding and silicone gaskets ensures 20+ years of protection.

Direct/Indirect

Over 40,000 lumens with direct/indirect distribution for maximum punch and coverage.

NATADI

Indirect

Up to 39,800 lumens with Standard Indirect (angled throw) or Pure Indirect (flat uplight) for precision, low-glare illumination.

NATAI

Mountings

Standard Mounts

Wall brackets for straightforward installation.

CustomMountingDiagram

Custom Angles

Sloped-ceiling brackets engineered to align perfectly with your architecture.

Enhanced Coverage

Pendant arms for between-pool installs or dual-luminaire mounts at pool start/finish lines.

Engineered for Natatoriums

Remote Driver Solutions

Driver enclosures feature an IP65 rating and natatorium-grade finish, eliminating risk in pool environments. They can be mounted close to the luminaire, with no need for a dedicated electrical closet.

Suggested driver enclosure placements include:

 

To the ceiling or structure by the top of the mounting brackets

Directly on the mounting arms

Lighting Studies that Prove Performance

Meeting natatorium codes requires precision. Our lighting studies, guided by IES standards, model light levels and uniformity before installation, giving you confidence in both compliance and real-world performance.

Typical IES Lighting Recommendations for Natatoriums

Case Study

Beloeil Aquatic Centre (Beloeil, Quebec)

Our NATA lighting studies guided the Beloeil Aquatic Centre project from early concept through installation – ensuring uniform illumination, code compliance, and consistent quality every step of the way.

Below, each stage of the process shows how Metalumen’s expertise supported the project from initial engineering to final completion.

Solutions for Every Ceiling

In natatoriums with dark or wood ceilings that absorb light, indirect fixtures lose effectiveness. The Rail Wet Series is the right solution, delivering direct illumination over the pool along with:

• IP54 Protection – Safeguards against water and dust intrusion.

• Asymmetric Photometric Kick – Directs light precisely where it’s needed.

• Natatorium-Grade Finish – Corrosion-resistant coating built for humid, chlorinated environments.
