How to Order Ambiance Linear Lighting

Once you have selected the appropriate wattage lamps and lampholder to be used in your light application, you are ready to prepare the bill of materials. Example: 9732 lamp with 9428-15 lampholder.
- Determine length of surface to light referred to as a "run". Convert the measurement of the run to inches for easy calculations. Example: 12' run = 144".
-
SPACING: For general task illumination space lampholders 6" on center.
-
CABLE: Determine the length of cable required based ON THE TOTAL LENGTH OF ALL RUNS. Additional cable may be necessary, depending upon transformer location.
Example: 144" + 24" from run to transformer = 168" of cable.
Note: Using 10/2 105 C cable (indoors only) the maximum wattage per run is limited to 300w for 12v or 500w for 24v applications. (For outdoor use, special 12v 105C cable (9373) must be used.
Note: Additional protection may be required when running cable behind a wall, check local codes.

TRACK: Determine the number of track sections required based on the total length of all runs and cable length. Track sections are sold in 4' lengths and may be cut to desired size. Additional track may be required based on locations of transformer and cable length. Example: 168" divided by 48" (track sections) = 4'.
-
LAMPHOLDERS: Divide the run by the spacing chosen. This will determine the number of lampholders needed. Example: 12' run = 144", 144" divided by 6" spacing = 24 lampholders.
-
LAMPS: Depending upon lampholder selected, determine the number of lamps required per lampholder. Example: 9248 (two lamps per lampholder) = 48 Lamps. WARNING: Serious risk of fire exists when mixing 12v lamps with 24v transformers.
-
TRANSFORMERS: Multiply the watts consumed per lamp by the number of
lamps required for the specified run. This result will equate to the total number of watts consumed in the run which will then determine the transformer wattage size required. Example: 4.2w X 48 lamps = 201.6w. Therefore select 12v 300w transformer. Note: Electronic transformers should be operated between the specified rated wattage. Magnetic transformers should be operated between 50% and 100% of the rated wattage to assure maximum lamp life.
-
Select additional components such as: mounting screws, track clips, connectors, sleeving, etc. as required.
