2 Perhaps the most successful product Litelab has introduced in the last 20 years, BusRun has been adopted worldwide thanks to the following features: Electrical code variants for bus combined with its far greater current capacity greatly reduce installation cost with no compromise on your design. BusRun s structural integrity allows for unique features when suspended or recessed. Litelab innovations have allowed BusRun to do double duty, including HVAC integration, supporting hanging obects, or becoming part of a ceiling structure allowing the designer much greater flexibility at much lower cost. The next time you have a need for a linear power source let Litelab s application engineers assist in allowing your design to reach its full potential take the Bus and leave the driving to us.

4 FEATURES + BENEFITS BusRun requires fewer feeds resulting in fewer home runs and lower installation cost. Supports up to 100lbs [45kg] static load between hanging points. BusRun with integral Unistrut compatible channel for supporting heavier obects. Designed and engineered to power loads from 1.0 amp to 60 amps. Can be miter cut for special shapes or specified with welded L, T or X connectors for grids or custom configurations. Architectural grade bus system for hanging, surface and recessed applications. Installed worldwide. Available for 12, 100, 120, 240 or 277 volts. SignHangers TM plug into BusRun and support up to 40lb [18kg] static load. Control energy consumption and ensure compliance with load requirements with optional built-in current limiters. Fitters recess completely into the BusRun providing a clean ceiling plane. PowerDown TM boxes provide power to other electrical devices. Support and provide power to fixtures from other manufacturers. Can be specified in 1 to 4 circuit configurations. 6 BUSRUN BUSWAY LITELAB.COM 7

5 Hanging Because BusRun Busway is structurally selfsupporting,there s no need for extra stabilizing elements BusRun can hang independently from mounting points up to 10 feet apart. Not so with structurally flimsy track. Track requires more frequently spaced pendants and often long runs are mounted to a sturdier element for support. Couple this with the number of extra costly feeds required for track by electrical codes. With BusRun you have a lighting system that is both clean and beautiful compared to standard track.

7 Surface Because of its virtually seamless design, lengths of Surface-Mount BusRun meet neatly end-to-end, with all necessary hardware concealed internally. The long runs allowed for BusRun Busway by electrical codes result in fewer feeds for less clutter and significant savings. BusRun fitters recess completely into the BusRun Busway, rather than hanging below it, to further minimize visual distraction above the connected load.

9 Recessed Recessed BusRun fully integrates with the structural environment and blends seamlessly into the ceiling. Unlike recessed track housings, which install separately from the track, recessed BusRun has integrated flanges. And, because a single feed can power up to 260 feet of BusRun, it s easier to provide fewer feed connections than would be necessary for track.

11 DESIGNING WITH BUSRUN Many of our best design solutions are customer inspired. The following pages highlight ust a few of the most popular ideas. We welcome new concepts and will do our best to incorporate your design into this very flexible product. 20 BUSRUN BUSWAY LITELAB.COM 2 1

12 DESIGN IDEAS A snap-in cover plate attaches to the mounting channel - providing a finished appearance for the sprinkler head. Air flows around the BusRun extrusion and through a knockout in the mounting channel and into an HVAC duct (installed by others). Sprinkler Heads.. No Problem! LiteLab specializes in recessed bus systems that multitask, performing as part of an air handling system, providing extra circuits for emergency power, smoke alarms and security systems, and incorporating some of the most advanced technologies, like occupancy sensors and fiber optic communications. We also provide systems with interrupted power and extrusion penetrations for sprinklers, and other requirements. Walker Art Center Minneapolis, MN Architect: Herzog & de Meuron Lighting Design: Arnold Chan Mounting brackets are angled 90 outward of the mounting channel allowing HVAC ducts to attach to the top of the channel. The BusRun system is designed to integrate other building systems, such as sprinkler heads or emergency strobes, allowing for clean linear ceiling lighting. 22 BUSRUN BUSWAY LITELAB.COM 2 3

13 DESIGN IDEAS 2-0 [610mm] typical each side Maximum 10-0 [3048mm] between hang points (Not shown to scale) Maximum 100lb [45kg] static load between hang points 120 ground alignment bars preloaded before corners are welded. BusRun Hanger Kits are preloaded before corners are welded. Top Conduit Feed BusRun Hang it from the Bus... BusRun has the unique weight bearing capacity of accepting a load of up to 100lbs/45kg between hanging points ßimagine the possibilities: monitors, merchandise, works of art the potential is almost endless. BusRun provides flexible solutions to give your proect the added advantage. Bus20 extrusion was designed to accept Unistrut hardware. Miter Cut BusRun Does your installation require unique shapes? BusRun can be cut and welded into a variety of geometries, and is capable of accommodating both horizontal and vertical orientations. Its unique structural strength also lets it be supported in unique ways allowing it to become an integral aspect of your unique architectural aesthetic. National Gallery of Australia Canberra Architect: PTW Architects Lighting Design: George Sexton and Associates 24 BUSRUN BUSWAY LITELAB.COM 2 5

14 DESIGN IDEAS Recessed in Panel Ceilings... Busrun Busway can also function as the main runner of support in most panel ceiling systems. Its unique structural strength will support ceiling loads, and it can tie into most paneled ceiling support grids. Just another feature that allows BusRun to multitask for you. Recessed in Wood Ceilings... Busrun Busway provides many unique mounting techniques that allow it to be incorporated into wood ceiling systems for a aesthetically pleasing solution. Consult our application engineers. 26 BUSRUN BUSWAY LITELAB.COM 2 7

15 DESIGN IDEAS Primary circuits are daisy-chained and wired independently of the emergency circuits. Emergency circuits (highlighted in yellow) can be integrated within runs of BusRun and daisy-chained reducing the numbers of feeds required. Integrated Emergency Circuits... It is no longer necessary for egress systems to be unsightly. With BusRun, emergency circuits can be incorporated directly into the busway system with matching fixtures and tamper resistant fitters. All connections can be made within the BusRun extrusion and covered with a splice plate. This eliminates the need for a separate unction box or long built-in wire whips.
