Lighting
for Glass Cabinets

Low
Voltage Transparent Mini Track Lighting
for Glass Display Cabinets and Counters Effective lighting for glass display cabinets is essential but can be both difficult to achieve or too expensive to justify. The system outlined below is versatile, very effective, extremely simple to install, and won't break the bank. The cornerstone of the system is an ultra slimline, 11mm x 5.3mm, transparent self adhesive track that can stick directly to glass, wood, or metal. Available in 1 metre lengths the track can be cut to size or connected to additional tracks using straight or flexible connectors. Any number of fittings can run on the track up to a maximum capacity of 300 watts. These provide adjustible illumination with minimum impact to the display space. Glass shades in 5 colourways are available for the fittings if required. Example: To illuminate a typical IKEA cabinet with 3 glass shelves. This will require 1 metre of Transparent Track, 3 Robot 1 fittings, 3 x 35mm 35 watt lamps, an End Power Feed, a metre of single core 4mm low voltage flex and one 105va variable transformer - so simple to fit and costing £66.50. The result will be infinitely better than 1 light shining from the top of the cabinet lighting the first shelf and little else. |

are the components you will need to order: |

Robot
1 Track fitting @ £9.95 each. You can have as many fittings as you
like on the track as long as the total power consumption is less than
300 watts. The most common lamps ordered are the 12volt 35mm lamps which are available at 35watts or 20watts - branded lamps cost £2.25 each and have a lifespan of 3000 hours. You can also use 50watt 50mm lamps but the smaller lamps are usually sufficient and make a smaller fottprint in the cabinet. |

Transparent
Self Adhesive Track 11mm x 5.3mm is ideal for fitting to glass and simple
to install. £12.95 for 1 metre or £22.95 for 2metres |
 |
 |
The
end power feed is attached to the end of the track to receive the output
from the transformer. It can also be used to join tracks together. For the transparent track they cost £2.50 each and for the aluminium track £2.75 each. |
|
 |
For
most cabinets 3 or 4 lights will be enough and the total wattage will
enable you to use an electronic transformer. These are small in size and
can be placed on the bottom shelf or on the top of the caninet. They should
placed not be more than 1m away from the end of the track and need to
be joined to the track via the end power feed with some 4mm single core
low voltage flex. 105va Transformer £12.95 each. 150va Transformer £19.95 each. 4mm low voltage flex £1.50 per metre. |
