DESCRIPTION

57.13 is a cluster configuration of thirteen 57 pendants suspended from a round canopy. This fixture is designed to be horizontal, meaning that the pendants don’t hang directly below, but instead trail off across a space, around a corner or simply deviate from their gravitational directive. As such, this fixture is designed to be hung from any number of optional swag points.
57 is an exploration of a technique used for producing closed cell foam. The process involves trapping voids of air of different sizes and configurations within a glass matrix, yielding a shape loosely referencing a rain cloud. These pockets of air remain invisible when the piece is off, but come alive to reveal an interior universe when the piece is illuminated. By virtue of the fabrication process, each piece is completely unique.

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 fits within the canopy side walls (refer to detail above).
Anchor the plywood backing to the structural ceiling substrate.
Connect power supplies to line voltage.
LED: connect the black wire to black and white wire to white 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 certified personnel to insure 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.
Attach lamp to the coax socket. Slide the brass cap onto the coaxial cable.
Ensure power to lamp is working correctly.
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 the swag hook screw on the ceiling.
Ensure that the ceiling at the swag location is strong enough to hold 2kg (5lbs) before attaching swag hook with the provided screws.
Thread the swag hook on to the mounting plate, ensuring all the threads are engaged.
Slide the ball end of the aircraft into the slot on the swag hook.
Note: Some installations call for the use of a swag jack ring, which allows pendants to be swagged from the canopy.
Insert the lamp assembly into the glass pendant.
Thread the brass cap onto the pendant.
Loosen setscrew and thread the aircraft cable through the slot.
Feed the aircraft cable under the setscrew and make a loop.
Adjust the height and tighten the setscrew to secure the aircraft cable.
Cut the aircraft cable using wire cutters.
Slide the coax cable through the slot on the pendant holder.
Thread glass cap onto the pendant, ensuring that the coax remains seated in the slot.
Clean fingerprints from surfaces.
