5.
What is the difference between a BA-LIV-2P and a BA-LIV-2?
The P (portable) indicates that the fixture is equipped with a 9 cord and plug to be installed as a portable unit. The BA-LIV-2 is for direct wiring.
6. For
direct wiring, how many knock-outs does the Line Volt Light Bar
have?
Bottom Plate (that mounts onto surface)
: Three ½" knock-outs for BX or ROMAX cables.
End Cap : Two ½" oblong
knock-outs on each end for making a continuous
run.
Top plate : Three ½" knock-outs
for installation of multiple fixtures.
7. Can
I make a continuous run of 3 Bar Lights? What kind of wire do I
need? How far apart can I
wire the fixtures?
Yes the knock-out holes are provided so that wiring from one fixture to another is made possible. You may use regular BX or ROMAX wires commonly used by electricians. Since these are line voltage, you may wire them as far apart as you wish without a voltage drop.
8. Can
the BA-LIVs be branch wired and still go on and off
independently? If so, how?
Yes. When branch wired in parallel each bar light functions independently and can be dimmed and turned on and off separately.
9.
What are the package of wire nuts and chrome pieces for?
The chrome plated pieces are adapters for Romex® non-metallic building electrical wire and BX connectors. High heat wire nuts are provided to accomplish branch wiring if necessary.
10.
Can the undercabinet lights be dimmed?
Yes they have a built-in Hi-Lo switch. When using an additional dimmer (a regular incandescent one will do) be sure to leave the Hi-Lo at High.
11.
What if I wish to color-match the bar lights with my cabinets?
They come in three finishes white, bronze and satin nickel. The white may be painted to color-match any surface.
12.
Can I use clear lenses instead of the frosted lenses supplied with
the light bars?
Yes you may purchase the LENS-BAL-CL to replace the frosted lens. They were fitted with frosted lenses to reduce glare.
13.
Can these fixtures be installed in a damp location?
Yes they are suitable for damp
locations (above the sink or bathroom), but not wet locations.
14.
Can the light bars be installed above a stove or fire place?
No the heat will shorten the life
of the light bars.
15.
What is the depth of the light bars?
Both the low voltage and line voltage light bars are one inch (1") deep.
