CHECK-IN System

Includes luminaires (2-FIVE, BALANCE, GATE B FOUR, MAGIC), components, and adapters with detailed references.

PHASE System

Offers low-voltage luminaires such as 2-FIVE, GATE B FOUR, HIGH FLIGHT, with shade options and accessories.

CLIX System

Comprises luminaires (ALUETTE, NIGHT FLIGHT), adapters (CLIX-IN, PULLEY-CL), components (connectors, clamps), and transformers (AIR-BASE, CHARGE series, PYRAMID, TRANSFORMER XT).

READY FOR TAKE OFF System

Includes luminaires (A LITTLE BIT, GATE B series), adapters (PULLEY-TO, READY-IN), components, and transformers similar to CLIX.

TRIC-TRAC System

A specialized 1-phase low-voltage (12V) track lighting system designed for complex lighting needs. It features a sandwich-type aluminum profile with fine-thread holes for secure mechanical and electrical connections via fine-thread screws. The design is techno-industrial, inspired by metal construction.

Key luminaires include TRIC, TRAC, ROXAN, ALUETTE, ANTENNA, IXION, MAGIC, OKI-DOKI, NIGHT FLIGHT, TAIFUN, TORINO, and SPIN. All spotlight heads are revolving and tiltable, with bodies in chrome-plated or matt silver metal. Lamps and accessories (decorative rings, glass shades) are ordered separately.

Technical specifications:

• Voltage: 12V
• Socket: GU 5.3
• Lamp types: QR-CBC 51 or QR-LP 111
• Max wattage: 50W (20W for some floodlights)
• Lengths vary from 140mm to 800mm (telescopic)
• LED and IRC ready

LIGHT-LINE and FLIGHT-LINE Systems

Contain various luminaires (AIKI, ANTENNA, CHARLES, DELTA, MAGIC), adapters, components, and transformers emphasizing modularity and compatibility.

EINBAULEUCHTEN (Recessed Luminaires)

Includes recessed models like SHOP and RD series.

Lamp Accessories

Decorative rings, glass caps, and other accessories are sold separately to complement luminaires.

Critical Information and Best Practices

• Lamps and accessories are generally ordered separately, supporting modular customization.
• TRIC-TRAC system uses secure mechanical and electrical connections with fine-thread screws for low-voltage (12V) applications.
• Spotlights in TRIC-TRAC are adjustable (revolving and tiltable) for flexible lighting direction.
• Transformers are system-specific, including AIR-BASE, CHARGE-1/2, PYRAMID, and TRANSFORMER XT series, supporting various power needs.
• The design language across systems is modern and techno-industrial, inspired by metal construction techniques.

Detailed Overview of TRIC-TRAC Lighting System Components

Luminaire Specifications and Ordering

• Multiple floodlight and spotlight models (e.g., Raumlicht, Galerie Strahler) feature tiltable and revolving heads, made from matt silver aluminum or chrome metal with temperature-resistant shades.
• Lamps are not included and must be ordered separately; typical specs are 12V, max 50W, with bases like GY 6.35, GU 5.3, and lamp types QT-LP 12 or QR-CBC 51.
• Accessories such as decorative rings and glass caps are sold separately.
• Some models are LED and IRC ready, compatible with LED lamps and infrared remote controls.

Special Adapters and Pendant Lighting

• TRIC-IN Adapter: Integrates sockets for all PLUG-IN luminaires, enabling expanded design options including coaxial pendant luminaires (ordered separately).
• PULLEY - TT: Connects height-adjustable low-voltage pendant luminaires to the TRIC-TRAC track via adjustable pulleys; pendant luminaires and additional supports (due to weight) must be ordered separately.

System Components and Checklist

• Basic Components: Tracks (straight and curved), supports/suspensions, couplers (I, L, T, X types, adjustable and with cable), supply connectors, end caps, and transformers.
• Special Parts: Picture suspension devices for artwork hanging.
• Checklist: Ensures completeness of the system with all necessary parts.

Track and Support Details

• Tracks come in straight (20 x 8 mm) and curved forms (radius > 800 mm), lengths of 1500 mm and 2000 mm.
• Supports include ceiling suspensions, wall supports, and supports with integrated couplers in various sizes.

Couplers and Joints

• Various couplers enable flexible track layouts: I-coupler, L-coupler (horizontal/vertical, angles 90°, 135°, 0-180°), T-coupler, X-coupler, adjustable couplers, and cable couplers.
• Additional joints allow angular adjustments between 90° and 180°.

Supply Connectors and Clamps

• Ceiling feed supply connectors are specified with part numbers and compatibility notes.
• Clamps and fixation accessories are available separately for securing cables and components.

Transformers

• Transformers convert 230V mains to 12V, available in power ratings: 105VA, 150VA, 200VA, 300VA, and 300VA with CONTROL feature.
• CONTROL Transformers: Include current monitoring to shut down the system on faults; incompatible with universal dimmers.
• Transformers vary in size and shape, with specific part numbers and compatibility with track/support components.
• Power feeds and clamps for transformers must be ordered separately.

Ordering and Compatibility Notes

• Lamps, lamp accessories, PLUG-IN and MULTI-PENDANT luminaires, clamps, and power feeds are ordered separately.
• Weight of pendant luminaires may require additional track supports.
• Component compatibility is indicated by part numbers and cross-references.

Summary

The TRIC-TRAC system is a modular, versatile low-voltage track lighting solution ideal for galleries and complex lighting applications. It offers adjustable, high-quality lighting with a wide range of configurations enabled by various couplers, supports, and adapters.
