FIRST to use extruded aluminum in wall-mounted Form and Line luminaries, eliminating the inherent inconsistencies and problems of wood facia.

FIRST to laminate real wood veneers to extruded aluminum profiles.

FIRST to develop a family of rectilinear aluminum extrusions that utilize an interlocking design, creating a luminaire that offers the lighting specifier a high degree of design flexibility.

FIRST to develop a multi-faceted, stepped and segmented parabolic reflector system (Patent No 4-293-900) used to redirect and focus H.I.D. lighting energy in predetermined zones for greater efficiency, comfort and brightness control.

FIRST to develop a comprehensive and integrated process that enables Forum to quickly and efficiently take a custom luminaire from concept to prototype to production in a cost effective environment without sacrificing our high standards for quality and integrity of design.
