You will not be able to tell it apart from glass neon until you touch it. LED Technology allows for easy installation, vibrant colours, and great results. Gone are the days of high voltage, heat, EM fields, and large electrical bills. Each Cold Neon run requires a power cord, an end cap, LED driver and optional mounting. Contact your local representative or BL Lighting for information and assistance on designing Cold Neon systems. When attaching connections it is imperative that they are suitable for the environment. Silicone may be required to seal connections and end caps from moisture. Cold Neon LED is low voltage, long-lived with solid state long life LED technology. It is field cuttable, durable enough for outdoor use, and produces very limited heat. The PVC casing is breakage free and water resistant! UV and impact resistant acrylic diffuser. Superior Grade UB LEDs provide consistent wavelength, high stability and low lumen depreciation, leading to a truly long functional life. 8 BL Innovative Lighting 111 - 8838 Heather St. Vancouver, BC, V6P 3S8, Canada Cold Neon is shipped in bulk lengths to be terminated in the field, unless otherwise specified. If the outer shell is damaged, the section must be discarded. Owing to the color variance of white LEDs it is our recommendation that color samples be approved prior to shipping of orders.

Product Specifications Product Specifications All electrical connections must be made in accordance with electrical codes. Individual circuits should be fuse protected. Series/ Parallel wired, terminations can be made at regular intervals in the field or at the factory. 9 Ropelight Design Description Ropelight is a classic decorative lighting product and offers a simple, economical and easy way to introduce light into designs. The lighting is flexible and durable, making it ideal for coves or accents, back lighting or halos. Rugged water-resistant construction is suitable for indoor or outdoor applications for perimeter lighting, linear outlines, architectural highlights and sign type applications. Construction consists of PVC tubing which encapsulates subminiature lamps or LEDs spaced at regular intervals. Incandescent lamps provide a soft and warm light with consistent output and a superior life when compared to store brands. LEDs offer better colors and two versions of white: incandescent white and cool white. They draw less than 1W/ft, are directional and have a life span in excess of 50,000hrs. Product Specifications Line voltage Ropelight products cannot be field cut, safety listings will be voided. Low voltage Ropelights can be cut on site for added versatility of installation. For low-voltage LED, it is recommended that a driver be used. Pre-Assembled Field Cut Lamp Type Outdoor Cove Lighting Watts per Ft NK-1-120V Y N Incandescent Y Y 5.5W/ft LNK - 12V/24V N Y Incandescent Y Y 3.85 W/ft LED-120V Y N LED Y Y 1 W/ft Handling Ropelight is made with a durable PVC tube to protect the lamps and connections. Excessive roughness, repetitive bending and inclement installation temperatures will cause failures in the product. All Ropelighting is tested before shipping. Cutmarks Ropelight can only be terminated on the cut marks. Because it is Series/Parallel wired, making cuts anywhere else will render that entire section non-functional. Cuts must be made between the wire shunts inside the PVC. Please contact BL for more specific details. Only Low Voltage Can be Field Terminated Measuring Since Ropelight must be cut at regular intervals which are not always the same as the required lengths, often extra Ropelight exists beyond the length needed. This can be blanked out with wire loom or other material and hidden. If it is cut between cut marks, the entire section will cease to function and may void warranty and safety listings. LED - 12V/24V N Y LED Y Y 1 W/ft Field Terminating Line voltage Ropelight will not be eligible for safety listings unless it is shipped from the factory with power terminations assembled. Furthermore, alterations to factory assembled Ropelight sections will void the warranty and safety listings. 10 BL Innovative Lighting 111 - 8838 Heather St. Vancouver, BC, V6P 3S8, Canada Ph: +1-604-874-4405 Fx: +1-604-321-0445 W: www.bllighting.com E: sales@bllighting.com Ventilation and Overheating Incandescent lamps and LEDs create heat; heat buildup will shorten the life of the lamps and LEDs, may impact the clarity of the PVC, and cause solder connections to fail. It is important to allow for ventilation in all applications. Incandescent Ropelights must be exposed on at least 3 sides and LED Ropelight must be exposed on at least 2. LED Driver LED Ropelight requires DC Power at its stated voltage. Line voltage LED Ropelight will require a 2-prong plug, a rectifier (in the power cord) and the Ropelight. Low Voltage Ropelight requires an LED Driver and the Ropelight. A DC Driver converts 120VAC to the required DC voltage and will help maintain the life of the product by regulating the power supplied. It is recommended that 120V LED Ropelight be on a surge protector. Mounting Ropelight can be laid into place, secured with clips or secured with channel. Channel is recommended to hold Ropelights in straight lines. Color Temperature BL strives to maintain color consistency with all of its products; however it is not always possible to be 100% accurate. Color temperature variance is normal within a reasonable margin and is especially pronounced with LED Ropelight. Cool White LED Ropelight has a bluish tinge to it because of its high K temperature. Owing to the color variance of warm white LED lighting, it is our recommendation that customers request a color sample to be sent and approved prior to shipping of any orders. Life Span Ropelight, like all lighting products, rate their lives at the average lamp life. For incandescent lamps, that is when 50% of the lamps are expected to be operating still. LED life is determined when the lamps are at 70% of their light output. All Ropelight products are wired in series/parallel; when a lamp fails, a section will no longer illuminate. Section length is the same as cutting increments. Product Specifications Ropelight Design Considerations Weather Very hot or very cold weather will have an adverse effect on Ropelights. 11 Rope Light Architectural Systems LED & Incandescent Ropelight LED Ropelight Electrical Details LED Ropelight LED-120V DC Cutting Increments : Max Run Length : Average Life : Power Usage : LED-24V DC Cutting Increments : Max Run Length : Average Life : Power Usage : LED-12V DC Cutting Increments : Max Run Length : Average Life : Power Usage : Environmental Electrical Construction: UV and impact resistant PVC.

Indoor or Outdoor Considerations • Ambient light, the UV inhibiting accessories, and types of illuminators. Ambient Light • As ambient light levels increase, so too must the intensity of decorative lighting. In order to have an impact, light intensity needs to be greater in multiples of the surrounding area. • Special consideration is given to the use of colors as colored light competes less on intensity and more on the difference of wave length. White light will appear less intense in an area with traditional 2500-4000K lighting than blue, red or green light of comparable brightness. 34 34 BL Innovative BL Innovative Lighting Lighting Monochrome Color or Color Changing • Not all illuminators are capable of color changing and not all of them are synchronizable. If they need to be synchronized, data cabling is necessary to connect the illuminators. Which Colors? • Different lamps are rich in different colors: Metal Halides are rich in blue, green, amber, and white, but do not fare well with reds. Halogens and LEDs are suitable for all colors. • The surrounding decorations and colors will help determine the most suitable colors. Mounting Surface • Dark colors absorb light, light colors reflect it. For cove, reveal, and valance applications the cove should be painted reflective white for the maximum effect. • Securing the fiber to the surface will depend on the application and can be done with the use of rigid tubes, mounting channel, P-Clips, routered grooves and various other methods. 111 - 8838 111 - Heather 8838 Heather St. St. Ph: +1-604-874-4405 Ph: +1-604-874-4405 Vancouver, Vancouver, BC, V6P BC,3S8, V6PCanada 3S8, Canada Fx: +1-604-321-0445 Fx: +1-604-321-0445 W: www.bllighting.com W: www.bllighting.com E: sales@bllighting.com E: sales@bllighting.com Run Lengths • Fiber becomes less intense the further it is away from the light source. This works on a logarithmic scale and is measured in dB/m. If designed well with strategically positioned illuminators, the fiber will appear consistent along its entire length. • The ambient light, color of light, and purpose will help determine the actual maximum distances. Maximum distances on fiber cut sheets are estimates based on average conditions. Corners and Bends • Fibers will lose light at a faster rate as the bends tighten. Minimizing the bends will increase the successful run lengths. • Maximum recommended bend radius is 8x the fiber diameter. General Maintenance • Fibers need to be protected from UV using either a UV snap track, Lexan™ tubing, or UV resistant resins for routered installations. • Fibers must be wiped clean periodically. • Illuminators will need lamps replaced and to be cleaned periodically from dust and other particle intrusions. Illuminator placement • Illuminators must be installed where they are clean, dry, ventilated and accessible for maintenance. • Placement is critical to achieve consistent intensity and can be arranged in a number of ways. • Dead ended fiber must have a reflective end cap. End Light Applications End Light Applications must take into account many of the same issues as Side Light, but the concern is not for consistency along the lengths of fibers; rather it is a matter consistency between individual end points. Consistency is a function of distance from the illuminator and arrangement of the fiber within the bundle head that fits into the illuminator.

Illuminators produce the light, fibers deliver it, and fiber drivers increase the efficiency of the system by delivering bulk light closer to the ceiling and allowing the illuminator to be housed in a more convenient location. Planning a Starfield Ceiling Accessibility In order to install into the ceiling, access must be available from above. This is usually gained from an attic or crawlspace. Alternatively, the fibers can be installed into drywall sheets or other materials while on the ground and then lifted and installed into place. Placement of Illuminators Illuminators must be kept clean, dry, ventilated and accessible for maintenance and re-lamping. Distance between Illuminators and Ceiling Microfiber bundles are costly and inefficient to run long distances. It is best to keep the illuminators and the ceiling as close as possible. If not possible, it may be useful to include a fiber driver into the system, especially if lengths are greater than 15ft or 5m. Mounting Fibers Holes are drilled in the ceiling surface, fibers placed through and secured with glue. Fibers are pulled through the holes with an extra 2-3” length given. The extra is then cut off once the ceiling has been painted. Density and Dispersion The fiber density in the ceiling depends on the height and color of the ceiling, ambient light levels, and personal preference. The higher the ceiling, the fewer points per sq/ft are required. A higher density of points should be found in the center of the room and decreasing towards the periphery to create a galaxy effect. 1.5mm fibers can be separated from within the bundle and arranged to form constellations according to star maps. 46 Starfield Ceiling Kits Illuminator # Pt Length (m /ft) BLFO-STAR Halogen 50 10 100 15 200 20 25 System consists of one 75W Halogen illuminator, one factory assembled fiber bundle at specified length with 0.75mm, 1.0mm and 1.5mm fibers, at specified quantity.

Illuminators The light source for the fiber bundles. They consist of a lamp, reflector, decorative wheel and a micro fiber coupler. Illuminators must all be kept clean, dry, ventilated and accessible. Lamps will need to be replaced and periodic maintenance is necessary. Micro Fiber & Bundles Bundles are made up of 0.75mm, 1mm, and 1.5mm fibers in 70%, 20%, 10% ratios respectively. When installed into a ceiling they deliver light of different intensities that simulate the natural variations in the night sky. Bundles are factory assembled and attached into a coupling device to attach to an illuminator or fiber driver. See the micro fiber section for technical information.

The solid core fiber carries the bulk of the distance to the fiber driver which is to be positioned near the ceiling, keeping materials and costs down. Fiber drivers allow the illuminator to be placed in a more convenient location and still have the shortest lengths of micro fiber. Effect Wheels Wheel options are available for all illuminators and fiber drivers. Twinkle wheels create a shimmering effect, color wheels change the color of entire panels, and color twinkle wheels randomly change the color of random fibers. System consists of one 150W MH illuminator, two fiber drivers with 12ft 1/2” fiber leads, two factory assembled fiber bundles at specified length with 0.75mm, 1.0mm and 1.5mm fibers, at specified number. 47 FO Fiber Optics Fiber Optics Metal Halide Illuminator Description Metal Halide R–Type - BLFO-R150II-DMX.

In this case, each run must not exceed the maximum current individually and the combined draw or wattage must not exceed the capacity of the transformer or driver. 1. Determine the Voltage Verify the voltage, 120V, 24V, 12V. Determine if it is AC or DC and if it requires regulated power or not. This can be done by checking the catalogue, the product itself or contacting BL customer service. DC power can be made by either using the LED Driver or a 24V transformer with an inline rectifier. BL recommends that all LED products use the LED Drivers for their regulated output. 4. Determine Minimum Wire Gauge Wire Size #18 #16 #14 #12 Max Current 5A 10A 15A 20A 5. Evaluate Distance for Voltage Drop Calculate the total distance from the load to the transformer; check the chart for the maximum distance before voltage drops 5%. The table below is for reference only; use the formal formula found in electrical guidebooks to determine actual drop. Measurements are in feet. 2. Calculate the Load (Wattage) Verify the wattage of each lamp or luminaire, multiply it by the total number of lamps or luminaires. For strip lighting, multiply the number of lamps per foot by the total footage. 3. Check the Ampacity (Current) Divide the total wattage by the voltage to calculate the current. Each product will have a maximum current and it is critical not to exceed it. A=W/V Consult an electrician or electrical engineer to determine if this will meet the needs of the project. By no means are these estimates to supersede or be substitute for building or electrical codes, good judgment or laws of physics and nature.
