<td><b>Step One: Design Your MonoRail System</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td>The first step in designing your <a target="_self" href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> system is to determine what it is that you are trying to light.  You'll need to decide where the <a href="http://www.merchantmanager.com/lightingforum/storefront.asp?pageno=1356"> heads</a>, <a target="_self" href="http://www.merchantmanager.com/lightingforum/storefront.asp?pageno=1355"> pendants</a>, or <a href="http://www.merchantmanager.com/lightingforum/storefront.asp?pageno=1357"> functional art</a> should be installed to put light where you want it.  Refer to the Tech Lighting <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> specification sheets for detailed information regarding lamp types and maximum wattage for each desired <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> lighting element.  Choose your <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> elements then add accessories such as a backlight shield, Gobo holder, barn doors, flight paper or others if desired.<p>Draw in your Tech Lighting <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> run.  Remember, <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> can be shaped by hand to follow architectural details or to create an organic shape.  Factory pre-bent shapes are also offered in several configurations.  Your <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> run must be placed so that it runs directly beneath the junction box with the surface transformer or power feed canopy and intersects the locations of all of the lighting elements.  Then determine how many sections of Tech Lighting <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> you'll need.  Tech Lighting <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> is available in chrome, gold or satin nickel finish with eight insert options to accent your project.  For complicated runs, draw the layout full scale and use a string placed along the line to measure the exact length needed.  Add a pair of <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> end caps to each end of a run for an elegant finishing touch.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Step Two: Add Power and Hardware to Complete the MonoRail System</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Add up the wattages of all the lamps you'll be using on the system; this will help you select the proper transformer.  A remote transformer with a power feed canopy provides the cleanest look, but the remote transformer must be installed in an accessible, remote location.  A surface transformer simply mounts to a junction box.  See the Tech Lighting <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> specification sheets for detailed information on how to select the right transformer for your application. <p>Next, determine how far from the ceiling you want the <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> to drop.  Power feed canopies place the MonoRail two inches below the ceiling, surface transformers drop it from two to five inches, depending on the type of transformer selected.  If this drop is shorter then you require, you'll need to add a power extender to your canopy or surface transformer.  The maximum standard drop for <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a> is eight feet.</p> <p>Finally, add standoffs that match the drop of your power feed to support the system.  Adjustable standoffs provide a clean, elegant look.  Choose rigid standoffs for curvy runs, or runs with multiple glass pendants.  You'll need one standoff for every feet of <a href="http://www.lightingforum.com/tech/tech_lighting_monorail2_index.htm"> MonoRail</a>.  The power feed counts as a support, so begin adding standoffs three feet from the power canopy.  Remember, power extenders and standoffs are field-cuttable, so it's easy to achieve a custom drop length.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Step Three: Double Check Your MonoRail Layout</b></td>
