STEP ONE: DESIGN YOUR KABLE LIGHT SYSTEM

The first step in designing your Kable Light system is to determine what it is you are trying to light. You’ll need to decide where the heads, pendants, or functional art should be installed to put light where you want it. See Heads, Pendants, & Functional Art for thumbnails of all available fixtures. Refer to the indicated spec sheets for detailed specifications, including lamp type and maximum wattage. Choose your fixtures then add accessories if desired. We offer a broad range of colorful and decorative accessories and functional optical controls.

A.  ELEMENTS (Pendants, Heads and Functional Art):
   1.  Choose elements from TECH Lighting Low Voltage elements. 
   2.  Click here to choose part number(s) for low-voltage elements.  
   3.  Choose Accessories and Optical Controls, if desired.  Accessories and Optical Controls
        are available on each model, where applicable.
   4.  Choose lamps, 12 or 24 volt, that do not exceed maximum wattage of element or accessory.

B.  FINISH:
   Choose finish of system and make sure all components are specified as such.

C.  DRAWING:
   Draw in your Kable Light run.  Remember, Kable Light is designed to make straight lines and  
   simple turns.  The cables must be placed so that they pass over the locations of all the  
   fixtures.  Kable Light surface transformers and power feed canopies have 24" feeds, so your 
   Kable Light run must pass within two feet of the junction box.  Identify mounting locations for 
   turnbuckles and any turns in the run.

D.  LENGTH:
   1.  Determine the cable separation run.  Generally, the higher the ceiling, the wider the 
        separation can be.  Different fixtures have different cable separation requirements, so make 
        sure the fixtures you've chosen are compatible with the cable separation.  We recommend 
        the following:
         Ceiling Height                  Cable Separation not to exceed
               8'                                                3.5"
