Nothing beats the convenience of a well-installed strut, especially in commercial premises like workplaces, supermarkets, and other convenient places. In addition to other benefits, strut installation allows for cost-effective lighting of an entire industrial space, flexible task lighting for an assembly area, and drop-down power.
General Lighting
Installing high bays in industrial applications is typically accomplished by mounting fixtures from stems or chains. This is a time-consuming process that results in an unsightly maze of crooked fixtures. The strut system is engineered to simplify and streamline the installation process. Strut is suspended from virtually invisible cables at the desired mounting height, allowing for parallel rows of strut-ready high bays to run.
By resting a higher amperage double-deck column atop parallel rows of struts, the installers eliminate hand-wiring as well as a significant number of homerun feeds.
Task Lighting
Installing task lights in industrial applications has traditionally been done with continuous linear lights, which are often difficult to install with a “tilt” toward the assembly lines. But with strut installation experts, businesses can now achieve noncontinuous “light-space-light,” and the fixtures can simply be tilt-adjusted when used over an assembly line.
The strut installation system allows for the flexibility to add or move light fixtures based on what is being assembled below it. If the industrial floor plan changes, so can Strut.
Drop Down Power
Strut is a busway, meaning that it can provide power to more than just lighting fixtures. And with strut installation already overhead for lighting, power taps can easily be added to the system. The power taps are attached to the strut via plug & play fitters, so power drops can even be moved or rearranged in the future!
Increased Shopping Experience
Strut installation provides the shopper directional guidance, as it creates a continuous visual plane overhead that matches the floor plan. Products and displays move—and so can strut.
Strut-Ready Octagon Boxes come preinstalled with two-circuit flip-fitters that establish both the mechanical and electrical connections. This eliminates the need for costly in-field wiring and numerous homerun feeds. The result is an extraordinarily cost-effective installation with complete design freedom and purposefully clean, uncluttered architectural aesthetics.
By suspending the strut overhead, one can rest assured that no matter where you need lighting or power, you’re covered. Not only can general lights be used in conjunction with accent lights on the same system, but pendants can also be easily incorporated using the strut-ready octagon box.
Movable Fixtures
Strut-ready fixtures can always be placed directly over the intended space or table due to the universal connectivity and continuous open-slot accessibility of our ONE system. Rows, grids, and runs are all plug & play.
Movable Rows
Strut installation fixtures are placed directly over tables via movable rows. This is possible because crossovers serve only as the mechanical (and not electrical) connection between intersecting runs of strut. By resting rows on the supported columns, crossovers can slide until the run of strut is over the table.
Even after the initial installation, rows can easily be moved from one location to another. Strut installation is a flexible and sustainable system because its lighting and power plug-ins are always capable of change, making it a perfect solution for remodels as well as new builds.
