STEP ONE: DESIGN YOUR MONORAIL SYSTEM

The first step in designing your MonoRail 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 MonoRail run.  Remember, MonoRail can be shaped by hand to follow 
   architectural details or to create an organic shape.  Factory pre-bent shapes are also offered in 
   several configurations.  Your MonoRail run should be placed so that it runs directly beneath 
   the junction box with the surface transformer or power feed canopy and intersects the locations 
   of all the heads and pendants.  Add a pair of end caps to each end of the run for an elegant 
   finishing touch.

D.  LENGTH:
   1.  Measure length of MonoRail run.
   2.  Click here to choose quantity and length of MonoRail required. 
   3.  Specify one pair of End Caps for each open end of run.  Click here for End Caps.
   4.  Determine number of Standoffs, one for every three feet of run.  Click here for Standoffs.
   5.  Does the run include a sharp angle
