DELTA RAIL SYSTEM
Continuous and modular system for horizontal, vertical and angular runs that can incorporate curves and
slants to many radii and multiple elevations. This indirect lighting system can include optional direct
components, electronic signs and the latest in audio visual technology.
The schedule 40 rail system and heavy duty stainless steel cable suspensions provide effective structure
with high safety factors.
The lightweight components of all aluminum construction provide maximum strength with minimal weight
load on the building. Decorative Bulkheads provide easy suspension with a generous splice compartment.
Power pack ballast module is designed for ease of maintenance. A multistage cleaning process is used
before painting with optional natatorium finish available. The optical system provides high efficiency
symmetrical or asymmetrical distribution for a variety of glare-free applications.
DELTA RAIL SYSTEM
THE SYSTEM
The system consists of individual lamp or multi lamp fixtures utilizing sources with high energy
efficiency and long lamp life. Available in up to 1000W H.I.D. systems as well as up to 6 x 55W Biax lamps.
The finished modules can be uniformly spaced or customized spacing as applications demand.
The system is supported at strategic points with heavy duty decorative bulkheads. The standard truss
comes in 10 ft. sections, and the runs are completed with custom sized sections to meet the needs of the
installation.
Applications
Swimming Pool • Lobby • Corridor • Library • Recreation Center • Church • Hospitals • Auditoriums

See Ordering Information
for other modules.
THE RAIL:
The RAIL is made from schedule 40 smooth aluminum
extrusion with a diameter of 1.66 inches allowing
multiple circuits inside the raceway. Schedule 40
tubing is 0.14 thick ensuring maximum strength and
load bearing integrity of the system. The rail can be
modified to suit different applications. It can go
around corners, rise/drop in elevations, and be inverted
to provide direct or indirect illumination. For ease of
installation, modules are supplied up to 10 feet long.
They are factory pre-wired to minimize field work.
Bends and Drops
THE JOINERS
Each module is provided with an
internal structural joiner bridge to
permit easy slide-in of the next
module. Electrical joiners are
provided with quick-connect plugs at
each joint. Plug pins are suitable for
#10 and #12 wire with 600V rating.
FINISH
Delta Rail is designed to resist
corrosive environments.
All aluminum surfaces are pretreated
and polyester powder coated with 2 mil.
thick paint. Optional natatorium rated
finishes are chromium pretreated and
rated for 1500 hours of salt spray with
up to 4 mil thickness polyester powder
paint finish.
BALLAST MODULE
Integral ballast is supplied as a power pack with a handle
and quick connect plugs to ease maintenance. The core/coil
part of the ballast is epoxy encapsulated to ensure
maximum heat dissipation and resistance against moisture
and chemicals. The generous ballast compartment is
enclosed and sealed with a high temperature silicone
gasket.
LAMP COMPARTMENT
The fixture consists of a separate lamp compartment
capable of aiming to suit the lighting design. It is factory
secured at a predetermined angle to ensure consistent
aiming and avoid mal-alignment during maintenance.
The 6mm thick tempered glass lens is silicone sealed in a
door frame to prevent ingress of dirt and moisture. The
door frame seals to the lamp compartment with a high
temperature silicone gasket and stainless-steel fasteners.
The socket has an extruded aluminum sleeve for conducting
away heat.
THE BULKHEAD
The decorative Bulkheads provide facility for mounting
stems or aircraft cable at a predetermined point, ensuring
complete balance of the system.
The generous splice compartment provides ease of
connections to continue wiring to the next section. 5/32”
Dia. stainless-steel aircraft cables will exceed break weight
ratings of 1000 lbs. The grip clutch is rated 1100 lbs break
weight. This suspension combination results in a safety
factor as high as 15:1 depending on the fixture wattage.
OPTICAL SYSTEM
Reflectors are made from 92%
Reflectivity anodized aluminum.
The hammertone finish gives
maximum efficiency and uniformity on
the reflecting surface. Symmetrical
light distribution is standard although
asymmetrical patterns can be
specified if required.
