Aircraft Cable Linear Fixture

[Alwayslearningelec]

Anyone have a picture of one of these linear fixtures mounted exposed to deck? I think the two cable can possibly be shot right to deck with whip/cable from the fixture up to a box close to the fixture or maybe there's an installation where the box is attached to one of the cable. Thanks

I'm also curious at to the EMT conduit layout. Would you run conduits connecting fixtures like the purple ones(a run for each row) or would you run in between like the orange and whip over from fixture to box? The distance from the fixture to the orange conduit would be over 6'. A lot less conduit laying out the orange conduit method but if it's not done like that in the field that's a problem. It's 0-10v dimming system.

90% of these fixtures are wired the same. First, this assumes they are not UL924 listed emergency light fixtures with article 700 emergency wiring. (That is a different answer.)

In most places today, they aren't letting you go straight to the roof deck, so you may need to span between them. Either way. The power feed is a box that an be 4S, round, octagon or mud ring. The fixture comes with a power feed that mount to that box and the whip is made up in the box. Every 8 feet there will be an additional aircraft cable. At the top you will need a 14-20 thread, and then fixture cable will screw in to it. Simple as that. Here is a typical installation instruction: https://www.finelite.com/sites/default/files/2020-10/FL_HP4_Direct_InIn.pdf

Thank you as always. What do you mean "they are not letting you go straight to roof deck?" Below is the existing space. Temp lighting is surface mounted. Seems like a low ceiling to have aircraft hung fixtures.

That isn't what I was envisioning by the term roof deck. This is what I was referring to.. In your case, you will merely shoot or drill a 1/4-20 male stud at each aircraft cable location.
