PRODUCT INFORMATION

• For accent, decorative, surface, recessed, or pendant lighting.

• 24 Volts DC for easy and safe installation.

• Long life, energy effi cient LEDs.

• Can be ordered to specifi c lengths for when exact dimensions are known

  

Example:

 10 x 10’6”

• Plug and light system.

• Lead wires are typically 36” long and exit on one end.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Luminaires require a 24 Volt DC remote driver.

• To calculate driver size, determine Watts per Foot.

  

Example:

 4.5W per Foot

• Determine Length in Feet.

  

Example:

 10’

• Calculate Load: Multiply Watts per Foot x Length in Feet

  

Example:

 4.5W x 10’= 45W

• Choose a driver from catalog.

  

Example:

 60 Watt Driver

• Determine maximum driver distance using Maximum Wire Length Table on

  drivers page.

  

Example:

 45 watts is between 40W and 60W. Using #14 wire, maximum distance

  is 37’ from driver to fi rst LED.

• Electric Hammer Drill

• 14.4 to 28 Volt Cordless Drill         

• Phillips Bits  

• Utility Knife

• Electrical Cord   

               

• Marker 

• Wire Stripper

• Long Nose Pliers

• Drill Bits - Concrete or Wood

• Electrical Three Ways

• Safety Glasses

• Measuring Tape

• Laser Line or Chalk Line 

             

INSTALLATION TOOLS REQUIRED

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

•  Luminaires must be mechanically attached directly to mounting surface using 

mounting clips, channels, or other appropriate means.

  Refer to installation step by step pages for details.

•  Conduit raceway should be sleeved at one end for low voltage wires going to driver.
