Overview of Designers and Product Categories

The document categorizes lighting products into systems such as PLUG-IN, MULTI-PENDANT, CHECK-IN, PHASE, CLIX, READY FOR TAKE OFF, TRIC-TRAC, LIGHT-LINE, FLIGHT-LINE, and EINBAULEUCHTEN (Recessed Luminaires). Designers include Ralf Keferstein and Team OLIGO. Each category comprises luminaires, bases/adapters, components, and transformers.

PLUG-IN System Description

The PLUG-IN system is a 12V low-voltage modular lighting system featuring luminaires with plugs and bases with jacks. Its reversible connector design provides extensive flexibility for planners and users to adapt lighting configurations. Mechanical securing via a knurled bushing ensures precise rotation and stable mounting.

Key Features and Mounting Options

• Mechanical locking of luminaires after insertion for secure and precise aiming.
• 2-meter coaxial cable length on pendant luminaires, adjustable on-site by shortening.
• Mounting options include adaptation to OLIGO high- and low-voltage track and cable systems, recessed installation with external transformers, and surface mounting with integrated transformers.

Product Examples and Specifications

• A LITTLE BIT and RIDGE Spotlights: Revolving and tiltable heads with 50mm or 140mm rods; materials include polished/matt aluminum and black/matt silver aluminum with high-gloss reflectors.
• Optics feature clear glass lenses with adjustable focus from 20° to 60°.
• Electrical operation at 12V AC or 12-24V DC LED modules, typical output ~360 lumens, power consumption ~10.3W AC / 7.6W DC, CRI >85.
• Non-dimmable; compatible only with magnetic 12V transformers or 12-24V constant voltage power supplies.

Accessories and Bases

• Decorative rings and GATE B TUBE sold separately.
• Bases such as IN-B, IN-D, SIGN 3-C support various mounting and connection needs.

Adapters and Compatibility

The system supports adapters for high-voltage track, low-voltage track and cable systems, and recessed mounting (SHOP system), enabling versatile installation options.

Design and Flexibility

The modular design allows easy combination and interchange of luminaires, bases, adapters, and transformers. The reversible plug and mechanical locking ensure secure, precise installation and adaptability to changing requirements.

Critical Parameters and Best Practices

• Use only magnetic 12V transformers or 12-24V constant voltage power supplies.
• Ensure mechanical securing of luminaires via knurled bushing to prevent loosening and allow precise aiming.
• Coaxial cables on pendant luminaires can be shortened on-site for customized installation.
• Order lamps and accessories separately to customize lighting effects.
• Select appropriate bases and adapters based on mounting style and power supply system.

• Many models LED and IRC (infrared remote control) ready.
• Dimensions: diameters 30mm to 160mm; rod lengths 40mm to 220mm depending on model.

Ordering Instructions and Accessories

• Lamps and accessories (decorative rings, color filters, cable lifts) must be ordered separately.
• Accessories referenced by item numbers and catalog codes.
• BOBBY cable lift is a common accessory for pendant luminaires enabling height adjustment.

Material and Finish Options

• Metal bodies: polished aluminum, matt aluminum, chrome matt, bright silver finishes.
• Glass components: clear, frosted, opal, mouth-blown with unique textures.
• Some products feature bicolour designs combining polished aluminum rings with other finishes.

Special Features and Recommendations

• Some pendant luminaires include dimmable functions with memory to store last brightness setting.
• Adjustable focus lenses allow beam angles from 20° to 60°.
• Suitable for specialized lighting applications: artwork illumination, shop displays, architectural lighting.
• Custom suspension lengths available on request.

PLUG-IN Pendant Luminaires and Cable Lift BOBBY

• BOBBY Cable Lift: Patented automatic cable lift system for continuous height adjustment up to 80 cm; freely positionable on coaxial cable; available in two colors including transparent frosted revealing internal spring.
• Factory-mounted only; ordering requires prefix (e.g., B2) before item number.
• Luminaires examples: COCO and PALINO with matt silver metal bodies and frosted all-glass shades; lamps ordered separately.
• Typical lamp base: 12V / GY 6.35 / QT-LP 12, max 50W.

Bases and Plug-in Jacks for External Transformers

• Various bases (IN-B, IN-C, IN-D, IN-F, LOCAL-A, LOCAL-B, READY-IN, TRIC-IN, LIGHT-IN, FLIGHT-IN, CLIX-IN, SHOP) connect luminaires to external transformers.
• Support different mounting sizes and configurations, compatible with common outlet boxes.
• Maximum current per base: 5A; compatibility varies by transformer system.

Transformers and System Adapters

• Multiple transformer types: magnetic and switch-mode, power ratings 20VA to 60VA.
