Introduction

The new Zipline LED lighting system offers unparalleled flexibility in terms of lighting layout and scheme design. The Zipline combines architectural impact, longevity and supreme efficiency (167.2 LL/CW) providing the lighting designer with the perfect lighting solution for building-wide applications. With five power options, broad, narrow and double asymmetric light distributions and a variety of accessories the Zipline is a truly versatile lighting system.

Zipline Design

The extruded aluminium trunking body of the Zipline provides a sleek, rigid but low weight luminaire which takes advantage of the latest LED technology. The luminaire modules are designed to simply snap into place, connecting into sockets located at regular intervals, ensuring fast and flexible installation.

The Zipline System

System Overview

The Zipline system is made up of four main elements; the extruded aluminium trunking provides the backbone and contains wiring with sockets located at 750mm intervals for connecting luminaire modules, spot lights, emergency lighting modulesand passive infra-red detectors. Extruded PVC lid infills unused space and various finishing accessories make installation fast and simple to complete.

Trunking

Pre-wired lengths up to 4.5m long are joined together to form the required run. The factory installed wiring looms (7-core 1.5mm2 PVC as standard) are simply plugged together and provide electrical connection sockets at 750mm intervals. Luminaires may be installed continuously, or with either 750mm or 1500mm spaces between them.

Module Options

PIR Module

PIR Module

A cost effective lighting control solution, without the luxury features of a full Smart System, PIR modules can be selected and simply plugged in, to provide passive infra-red detection for each connected run. As many PIR modules as required for suitable detection coverage can be fitted and the entire run will be switched as a whole group.

Emergency Lighting Modules

Emergency Lighting

Emergency lighting is an essential requirement of all workplaces and Zipline offers the choice of either emergency versions of luminaires, or dedicated modules that utilise the reliable and unobtrusive Scanlight AT LED downlight. The superb optical performance of the Area and Corridor lenses minimises the number of modules needed.
