Cable Lighting System: Why It's Such an
Interesting Option
The cable lighting system could be considered a cousin of track lighting—not a brother and definitely not a twin, but related. Track lighting, particularly, monorail and low voltage track lighting may involve cables but they are different animals requiring additional equipment and accommodations than a cable lighting system does. With a cable lighting system, you do not have to worry about canopies and ceiling fixtures.
Cable lighting is extremely versatile. It is an accomplished contortionist in terms of lighting options. Do you have a ceiling so high reaching it even for minor installation work might involve a nose bleed? Then cable lighting is for you. Cables can be installed vertically, running the length of an area with an assortment of fixtures to choose from as attachments. Thus, cable lighting systems can accommodate various architectural styles its cousins in the track light world could never even dream of. Cable lighting systems offer lighting solutions when and where you want them and without remodeling to fit wiring requirements.
Equally at home in a contemporary living room, providing multidirectional light or in a commercial setting illuminating products and highlighting shelves without overpowering the consumer—cable lighting systems can fulfill your lighting needs with style. These artfully simple fixtures can also be the perfect answer to the needs of an art gallery or museum, easily directed toward the walls and items to be showcased.
Choosing and designing your idea cable lighting system configuration is as simple as putting pen to paper. Try these steps: write out the dimensions of the room you need to cover, the areas you wish to illuminate—keeping in mind the lights required per foot of cable, the power source you wish to use and the type of fixture which best fits your room décor. Then, search the multitude of options available that will fit each of the requirements listed.
One thing is for certain: wherever you hang your cable lighting system it is sure to add lasting, quality light. Simple and yet attractive—a good cable lighting system will brighten your home, office, restaurant, gallery or store flawlessly.
