SUSPENDING LIGHTING BY ZIP-CLIP
SUSPENDING LIGHTING BY ZIP-CLIP
Lighting and signage applications both have similarities in their nature with the main two formats being:
• Individual lighting – such as high bays
• Linear lighting – such as track or bus bar
Similar best practise should be applied with regard to:
1. The correct anchoring system for the ceiling type
2. The correct wire suspension to safely support the intended load
3. The correct connection method of the wire suspension to the lighting
Attachments: Many different forms of attachment to lights exist, and manufacturer’s guidelines should always be followed with recommended methods of suspensions.
Utilise proper fixing points that have been provided by the lighting manufacturer – for example: through holes or ring eyes.
Where through-holes or side brackets exist, a zip-clip device can be used to directly link a light to a wire support
These can also be retro fitted to any stirrups that accompany lighting track.
Individual lighting systems may be recessed into a false ceiling or be stand-alone units. In both cases the available fixing points should be confirmed and test.
Secondary light supports: The Zip-Clip RIZE system lends itself to being used as a failsafe solution. By utilising an all-round loop all forms of lighting can be secured against collapse.
