1. Introduction
The BB Lightpipe is a modular light line system suited for application in industrial and infrastructural applications such as parking garages, tunnels, train stations
and much more. By making use of durable materials in combination with the long lifetime of the electrical components a maintenance free long lasting fixture is
created. The indirect lighting concept with advanced foil techniques result in a glare free light emission and create a comfortable and safe environment. The BB
Lightpipe is easy to mount, vandal resistant and water- and dustproof.

A or B part
The BB Lightpipe with a length
of 8 en 12 meter consists of 2
parts, part A and part B. This is
shown on the article sticker. A
part B always follows an part A.
Together they form a single
fixture.

Specifications can differ from standard. This is stated in de article code as ‘custom made’.
Beware:
The shorter version with a length of 2.2 meters is standard with a terminal block instead of plug & play wiring because it is usually applied as stand-alone.

4. Mounting
Standard the BB Lightpipe comes with a high quality stainless steel suspension bracket of spring steel. As a result, the bracket will hang a few millimeters and
allows a flexible suspension on a rough surface. The suspension bracket can be placed in any position on the base profile.
Fixture length: Number of brackets: Positie:
2 to 4 meters 2 mounting brackets 0,5m from the end
6 meters 3 mounting brackets 0,5m from the end + one in the middle.
Different mounting brackets:
Various other suspension brackets are available. Some other commonly used suspension brackets:

6. Mounting sequence light lines
1. plant out the position of mounting brackets (see chapter 4) by means of a laser
2. drill the holes and mount the brackets
3. click the BB Lightpipe into the bracket with 2 persons
4. lock the luminaires into the bracket by means of pop rivets
5. connect the trough-wiring and infeed cable (1) with the Plug & play connectors (3)
6. if necessary, adjust the phase selection
7. place the connectors (3) and sealing disc (2) into the driver housing (4)
8. make sure the sealing disc properly closes the driver housing
9. slide the cover (5) over the open gap of the fixture to finish

Connect the Plug & play connectors
Picture 2:
Place the connectors and the sealing disk in
the aluminum housing. Make sure the sealing
disk closes the housing properly to ensure
water resistance.
Picture 3:
Slide the cover onto the transition of the two
fixtures and fasten the torx screws.
LED module wiring
In the 8 and 12 meter BB Lightpipe, consisting of
two parts (A + B parts), there’s an extra connector
with a black and white wire for the LED module
wiring
Aluminum
expansion
Between two BB Light pipes, 5mm space must be used
to consider expansion and shrinkage of the aluminum
at ambient temperature

8. Diagram for ‘stand-alone’ mounting
The electric diagram below shows the connection of the 2,2 meter BB Lightpipe.
For the ‘stand-alone’ fixtures the installer needs to take care of the infeed cable. With the wago connector the infeed cable can be connected to the fixture.

10. Delivery and transportation
Because of the long lenghts of the BB Lightpipe fixtures the pallets for transport are bigger than usual.
The maximum dimensions are 6,2m to 0,8m to 1,5m ( l x b x h), and the pallets have a maximum weight of 1000kg.
In the factory the light emitting part of the BB Lightpipe is provided with a protective foil. This foil protects the polycarbonate tube from dust during the construction
process.

11. Additional Information
DALI
When a DALI light management system is implemented there are some limits to take into account. One DALI-loop can contain 64 addresses and
250mA power consumption. A motion sensor is powered by the DALI loop and consumes 15mA. A fixture consumed 2mA.
These limits are taken into account when a lighting control is offered to determine the number of DALI routers needed. In addition, the loop should
not be longer than 300 meters because of the voltage drop. The E-installer needs to take this into account when drafting his installations.
Inrush current
The inrush current of the LED driver has to be taken into account when designing the electrical installation and determining fuse types. The inrush
current peak can cause the fuse to clog out when turning on multiple fixtures at once. Because of the inrush current it may therefore be necessary
to implement an inrush current limiter.
The specifications of the LED driver are available on request.
Do’s and don’ts
•always disconnect the power when working with wiring
•always work with 2 persons to click the BB Lightpipe into the fixture
•the distance between the mounting brackets can be 2,5 meters maximum
•the BB Lightpipe can be turned off by DALI, take into account that in this case there is still power on the driver
•always use pop rivits to secure the BB Lightpipe to the bracket
• the warranty of the electronic components will be cancelled if damage to the BB Lightpipe occurs when using a temporary power supply
