When we started making signal fixtures our primary goal was durability and reliability. That’s why we married our pushbutton designs to the most dependable contact block in the industry, and produce fixture components with state-of-the-art equipment to exacting in-house quality standards.

But toughness is only part of the story. Fixtures also need to be a stylish design element. So we became artists. Now no one offers the range of traditional to customized looks we do. From polished stainless steel and bronze mediums, to mirrored and oxidized finishes — we have it all.

Lighting choices? Got it. In fact, providing eye-catching illumination was why we created Spectral-Lite. Lamps that when used with our non-proprietary GALaxy Elevator Control allow you to select light color and adjust its intensity in the field. And for those who demand maximum versatility and real economy, our pre-engineered JETII fixture package makes installation a snap.

If you’re searching for a solid blend of good looks and solid engineering that can stand up to the toughest crowds then look to GAL — a true New Yorker. Sure, we may be real beauties on the

outside, but inside we’re tough guys through and through.
