DESCRIPTION
28.11 is a random configuration of eleven 28 pendants hung from a square
canopy. The drop lengths of the pendants are randomized between a client
specified range of heights to variously cluster and scatter. The result is an
ambient installation or field of light.
28 is an exploration of specificity 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 infinite versatility in
colour compositions, sizes and shapes.
NOTES
- + Purchase replacement lamps online at www.bocci.com/shop/bulbs
- + Unless otherwise noted when ordering, all fixtures will be outfi tted 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.
PRODUCT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-
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 canopy to 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 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 fi xture on.
Very carefully uncoil the braided coaxial cable in a spool like manner. Insert your index fi ngers into opposite sides of the roll then rotate your fi ngers 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 28 pendant. Install 28 pendant 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 OVER-TIGHTEN.
Remove the protective film from the center cap after assembly.
Note: when using a dimmer use only 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 confi guration on site, thus creating a truly unique fi xture. 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 fi xture on and lamps plugged in. -
Clean fingerprints from surfaces.
