TRIM PROFILE

Festoon lamps are available in 3 watt, 5 watt, and 10 watt, in both 12VAC and 24VAC. Xenon lamps (2,800K) typically produce a whiter light and are used for display lighting. The light from an incandescent lamp (2,450K) is warmer in color, and more conducive to residential applications. The average life for a incandescent lamp is 7,500 hours and 20,000 hours for xenon low voltage lamps. LED festoon lamps are available in a 1.7 watt, 12VAC and 24VAC models in several popular color temperatures such as 2,700K, 3,500K, and  5,000K. LED festoon lamps produce very little forward throw heat, no UV rays and have an average lamp life of 50,000 hours. LED festoon lamps are perfect for retrofit applications or new projects that require a bright, efficient light source in hard to reach areas.

Space Requirement
For best results, a wood reveal should be used to conceal the fixture. For applications above eye level use trim #4 and extend wood trim as
necessary. Allow 1” clearance between light fixture and holes.

Lighting Strip
Each lighting strip may contain one or more festoon lamps with spacing 4, 6 or 8 inches on center. For best results, always use a matte finish on the back of the cabinet to minimize reflections or glare.

Brass Support Clips
Brass support clips are designed to transfer electricity from the concealed buss bar to the brass contact pad mounted on the bottom of the shelves utilizing a safe low voltage current. Standard right angle pins should be used to support the back of each shelf and are not included in the kit.

Buss Bar Supports (5/8” W X 1/4” D)
Heavy duty steel buss bars are concealed during construction and engineered to perfectly align with 8 x 32 threaded holes drilled 32 mm on center. This system totally hides all the wiring and allows you to use the drilled pin method of shelf support. Consult the factory for other spacing options.

Brass Contact Pads
Brass contact pads are designed to transfer electricity from the shelf support clip to the individual fixtures utilizing a safe low voltage current. Contact is made when the shelf is installed.

Lug Connector
Heavy duty lug connectors are used to connect the wire to the metal buss bars back to the power supply. These connections should remain accessible for service and maintenance.

Transformer
Magnetic transformers are sized to match the total wattage of your lighting load and come equipped with one or more secondary circuit breakers. (See transformer sheet for more sizing information and amperage calculations)

To figure total requirements for transformers, calculate total watts per foot divided by voltage equals total amperage. (watts / voltage = amperage). Refer to the table to calculate wire size and fusing requirements or see transformer page for more specific details.
