Case Lighting
Spotlights.
These adjustable-head low voltage lamps take standard 20W metal
reflector 48mm 64 base bulbs, and are fixed to the inside of the frame.
Fluorescent.
The tube is fitted to the inside of the top front rail, and house in an
unobtrusive alumininium shade which matches the frame.
Downlighters. These lamps are fitted to a soffit panel
in the fascia section, take standard 20W MR16 dichroic reflector bulbs,
and are adjustable for angle and direction.

Some technical
& design aspects
Glazing options
Glazing beads are available for either 6mm or 4mm material. The default
specification is 6mm annealed glass: but 4mm toughened can be subsituted
for reduced weight and greater safety. 6.4mm laminated glass can be used
for higher security.
Plastic sections
Glazing beads, sliding door track and flanges for hinged glass doors are
in plastic, and come in dark grey or black. Grey is the default, and is
supplied unless black is specifically requested.
Specification for timber
infills
The standard thickness for timber infills is 12mm. Popular materials are
melamine-faced or laminate-finished boards - but veneers, paint finishes
or fabric facings can also be used.
Plinths
The standard timber plinth is 100mm high, made in 18mm ply, and finished
in black laminate. The integral LF levellers provide up to 30mm of adjustment,
and act as corner joints for the plinth panels.
Doors and Locks
Doors used in apertures with a width of 750mm or less are hinged; in apertures
wider than 750mm, doors are sliding. All doors are lockable. Unless specified
otherwise, locks for hinged doors are keyed alike to a standard pattern
for which keys are available from stock. Locks for sliding doors are individually
keyed.
Case Lighting
Most design types allow for lighting, and either fluorescent or low-voltage
tungsten is available. The fittings (see left) are designed for optimum
performance in showcases, and can be ordered individually. Some cases
come with lighting as standard.
Group combinations
and lateral linking
The standard specifications are based on stand-alone use, with glazing
on all four faces. But where units are used in groups, they may need to
be joined physically together. If so, the following adaptations can be
made:
- Substitute a single timber
panel for the existing infills in each lateral face.
- Introduce an 18mm spacer
panel to provide a 10mm gap;
- Bolt the adjacent panels
together (special bolts can be supplied for this purpose).
To help visualise group dimensions,
plan shapes can be drawn up with with a 300mm grid superimposed - see
left. Note however that when units are linked with spacers (see above)
the overall width of a group will exceed the nominal total by 10mm per
junction.
Power Feed.
Unless specified otherwise, the power feed for lighting is provided via
3m of cable, emerging at left back of the base. (This point is a construction
detail and thus not applicable to hardware kits.)
