DESCRIPTION

28.28 is a random conﬁ duration of twenty-eight 28 pendants hung from a square canopy. The drop lengths of the pendants are randomized between a client speciﬁ ed range of heights to variously cluster and scatter. The result is an ambient installation or ﬁ eld of light.
28 is an exploration of speciﬁ city in manufacturing. Instead of designing form itself, here the intent was to design a system of making that yields form.
Individual 28 pendants result from a complex glass blowing technique whereby air pressure is intermittently introduced into and then removed from a glass matrix which is intermittently heated and then rapidly cooled. The result is a distorted spherical shape with a composed collection of imploded inner shapes, one of which acts as a shade for the light source.
Standard 28s are made with clear glass exterior spheres and milk-white interior lamp holder cavities. 28s are possible with inﬁ nite versatility in color compositions, sizes, and shapes.

NOTES
+ Purchase replacement lamps online at www.bocci.com/shop/bulbs
+ Unless otherwise noted when ordering, all ﬁ fixtures will be outﬁtted to be xenon compatible
+ As an alternative to built-in power supplies, Bocci recommends mounting power supplies remotely in an easily accessible and hidden location for ease of long-term maintenance.

Note: All connections and power supplies are tested by our technicians before shipping. However, it is possible for ports/ power supplies to come loose or damage during shipping.
Test each port before installing a canopy to the ceiling to catch any loose connections or faulty power supplies.
Measure and mark the light ﬁxture canopy position on the ceiling
Note: The client is responsible for providing a robust 16mm (5/8”) plywood backing or wood blocking to securely anchor to the structural substrate.
Connections from the plywood to the structural substrate are the client’s responsibility.
Measure the plywood so that it ﬁ ts within the canopy side walls (refer to detail above).
Anchor the plywood backing to the structural ceiling substrate.
Connect power supplies to line voltage.
Xenon (110V) or LED: connect the black wire to black and white wire to white wire.
Xenon (230V): connect black wire to brown wire and white wire to blue wire.
For the ground connection, connect the green wire with a yellow stripe to the bare copper wire or green wire in the junction box.
Note: Bocci strongly recommends mounting power supplies remotely in a close, accessible and hidden location for ease of long-term maintenance. Installation to be done by certiﬁ ed personnel to
ensure compliance with the code.
Anchor canopy into the plywood backing using the fasteners provided.
Turn power to ﬁxture on.
Very carefully uncoil the braided coaxial cable in a spool-like manner. Insert your index ﬁngers into opposite sides of the roll then rotate your ﬁngers around each other to unroll the coaxial cable. Use patience: allow the cable to uncoil completely to avoid kinks.
Bocci lamps are included. Plug the lamp into the socket. Do not touch the lamp with your bare hands.
Remove the center cap from the 28 pendants. Install 28 pendants by sliding the center cap onto the coaxial cable, gently insert the lamp into the pedant, then tighten the center cap connection by hand.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Remove the protective ﬁlm from the center cap after assembly.
Note: when using a dimmer use only a low voltage electronic dimmer.
Each pendant terminates in a “headphone jack” type connector, which plugs into a receiving receptacle in the canopy. Clients are encouraged to compose their own pendant conﬁguration on site, thus creating a truly unique ﬁxture. After plugging in each pendant, turn the threaded sheath into place by hand ensuring that it is adequately tightened. Tools are not required.
Check that each lamp is working properly as you go along by keeping power to the ﬁxture on and lamps plugged in.
Clean ﬁngerprints from surfaces.
