What makes
Accent different?
The Accent family of

luminaires addresses the
need for a new, creative
way to transform buildings
and iconic structures.
Simple Installation

make it easy for installers to make Accent part of
your building.
Proven Reliability
Thanks to smart design, extensive testing, and
years of experience, Accent delivers unbeatable
reliability, even in the most adverse conditions
we’ve encountered around the world.
Accent MX Powercore Accent MX Powercore gen 3, RGB combines high visibility, long
run length, and proven reliability. To summarize the response from
gen3, RGB our customers—Accent MX looks fantastic and gets attention,
even from a considerable distance. It keeps performing brilliantly
In it for the long run and reliably, year after year, even in the most demanding settings
imaginable—wind, salt spray, vibration, heat/cold, and other real-
world challenges. This direct-view linear luminaire has a proven
track record of providing the precision it takes to display large
scale video and graphics on high-profile building exteriors, casino
entrances, sports venues, bridges, and much more. Accent MX
luminaries can be addressed and controlled in increments down

Powercore
Our patented approach to power output proves that
simple is better. As well as faster, more efficient, and
accurate. Powercore controls power output to luminaires
directly from line voltage. It merges line voltage with
control data and delivers both over a single standard
cable—dramatically simplifying installation and lowering
total system cost. Integrated into Accent MX Powercore
gen3, RGB luminaires.
Housing
