Lumisphere's TH12 System Lumisphere's X24 System
The Lumisphere TH12 Low Voltage System incorporates, as standard, a special 12v 5w Tungsten Halogen Light Capsule, having a light output of 50 lumens, and a life expectancy in excess of 6,000 hours at a design voltage of 11.2v.  The Tungsten Halogen Light Capsule is extremely robust, and has a universal burning position.  Not being affected by vibration, it can be used in the roughest conditions, such as on trees, swinging festoons, bridges, etc.  Having a colour temperature of 3000K gives an extremely bright luminance, with very low power consumption.  The Lumisphere X24 Low Voltage Lighting System incorporates 24 volt Xenon Gas Filled Lamps, with wattage's of 5, 8.5 and 10w.  These lamps have an exceptionally long life expectancy or approximately 20,000 hours at appropriate circuit design voltage.  They are also extremely efficient with a colour temperature in the order of 2700K.  The X24 system is particularly suitable for permanent installation on buildings, and structures where access for lamp changing is difficult.  The lamps are multi-position burning, and resistant to vibration. 
 
 
 
GENERAL  The Lumisphere festoon system comprises a special twin core cable, sheathed in H.O.F.R. (heat, oil, flame resistant) rubber, with 3.0mm tinned copper multi-strand conductors.   

The cable is compressed into uniquely engineered nylon lamp holders, into which 2 1/2" dia. shatterproof polycarbonate globes are retained by high pressure O-rings, and are removable for lamp replacement.  Where the system is installed within reach of the public, (i.e. low branches of Christmas trees), anti-vandal type lampholders may be specified to prevent unauthorized removal.   

The lamps are located centrally in the globes, to enhance the luminance.  Standard spacings are: 6", 1', 1'6", 2', 2'6" and 3'.  Non-standard spacing may be specified.  The system can also be supplied in component form for on-site assembly, where lamp centres are irregular.  A special hand assembly press can be supplied for this purpose.  The maximum number of light units pr string is dependent on spacing and lamp wattage (refer to 'selection and installation guide').  

The Lumisphere festoon system has been tested by B.S.I. and certified to BS EN 60598-2-20:192, IEC 598-2-20:1982, and BS EN 60598-1:1993 for classification of IP68 Dust-tight/protected against submersion, and is UL and ULC listed, No. E173173(M).
