SAME TYPE INTERCEPTS AS BASIC

Advent Lytespan offers the installation
features of Basic, all the capabilities and
more of Lytespan ll and a price equal to
that of Lytespan l.

As well as the same selection of intercepts as

Basic, Advent offers the same method of electri-
cal connection. lntercepts fcature easy snap in
connection and plug into the track in the same
manner as Basic.

iNDIVIOUAL TRACK
(INIT I]NIT

The invisible Feed allows the track to be mounted {lush to the ceiling or wall without a canopy normally
used to mask the outlet box. No longer does track have to be positioned in accordance with existing
outlet boxes. This innovation will have aeslhetic appeal to Designers. Architects and Specifiers. lnstalla-
tion time and money will be saved for the installer. by the elimination of the need for an outlei box.

 BASIC LYTESPAN

ln addition to the new track

f inishes (Polished and Antique

Brass), we have made some

improvements to the Basic
Lytespan system.

PRE.WIRED "U'AND VARIABLE ANGLE CONNECTORS

';i:"f" l For ease of insiallaiion the Basic

"L" and Variable Angle Connectors
are pre-wired at the factory. Patterns
can be made from these connectors
ir. without removing the wires, as long
as the polarity of the track units are
ti tl of the same orientation.

a PFE-WIRED "f' VABIABLE ANGLE CONNECTORS

)''* lf the track layout causes the bead

side of either track unit to be on the
opposite side of the white wire in
the connector or if the power is to
be fed through the connector, then
: the connector must be re-wired.

NEW FLEXIBLE WIRE ADDED TO THE FLOATING CANOPY

The lloating canopy is now easier

to instali. Flexible stranded wires
are tinned on one end 'or easy in-
sertion into iniercept or live end
contacts. The other end must be
cut to lenoih and therefore is left
un-stripped.

HOUSINGS AND WALL MOUNTING KITS

HOUSINGS
Lightolier Track Housing Systems are now expanded and improved.

Suspension Beam is a new alternative to the Lytestruct system. ln addition, Lytestruct has
been re-designed and re-numbered as Lytestruct ll, adding important improvements in both
installation and appearance. NOTE: Lytestruct ll lS NOT INTERCHANGEABLE WITH
LYTESTR UCT I COMPONENTS.

Suspension Beam and Lytestruct ll systems are comprised of similar components. Both are complete
complimentary systems.

WALL MOUNTING KITS

The Wall Mounting Kit allows creative wall-to-wall

)
installations. Distances o1 up to twelve feet may
be spanned with no additional supports. Longer
I
spans may be accomplished by using stem or
cable kits.
Wall lvlounting Kits include two wall mounting
plates and a stiffener sp|ne to be used at housing
joints in place of the standard coupler furnished
with the housings.

 NO MORE JOINER HOUSINGS OR END SPLICE BOXES
NO MORE JOINER HOUSINGS
All Suspension Beam, Lytestruct ll and Recessed Housings now accept Advent and Basic Lytespan.
Lytespan I & ll, when used in housings, required the live end to be removed from the track. By
doing so, the overall length of a four foot individual was reduced to 44" and the eight foot indi-
vidual to 92". The joiner track had no live end and remained 96". As a result Lytestruct I hous-
ings were forced to correspond to these three lengths.

I Advent and Basic Lytespan individuals, when used with straight runs of housings retain their
live ends and their overall length remains the same. When used in housing patterns, the live
end of Basic and Advent is removed, but substituted with Electrical Auxiliary Connectors and
maintain their four and eight foot lengths (two Electrical Auxiliary Connectors are equal in
length to one live end.

The overall hoLising lengths are thus

four foot and eight foot eliminating the
need for a third housing length.

The red connector is DEAD!

For continuous wiring through intercepts, all housings will now use Auxiliary Electrical Connectors. These con-
nectors are designed to maintain polarity lrom one track section to the next. As with a polarized plug and
outlet, there is only one way that the connectors may be inserted into the track. Leads from the Auxiliary
Electrical Connectors are color coded to insure polarity and are joined in the splice box by common wire nuts.
