simply slide tab to lock and unlock

Cam lock

Ingenious patented locking cam allows for ease of installing and removing the complete gear tray. This allows for both simple maintenance and also upgrading in the future.

This truly unique innovation adopts our revolutionary cam lock for quick and simple ‘single person’ installation. The system is also ‘future proofed’ by having the ability to easily upgrade as LED technology rapidly advances.

Tool-less installation

The ease of speed without screws, tools or lost components whilst also avoiding accidental damage potentially caused by screwdrivers.

Rivet screw

The fastener of choice to ensure a long term reliable fit, simple servicing and upgradeability of LED modules.

LED light engines

Best in class performance over time without compromise, backed with an industry leading warranty.

Precision aluminium

Manufactured with detailed accuracy in alloy composition, dimensional tolerance, thermal performance and surface finish.

Quick plug wiring

Pre-wired gear trays simply plug together with the proven reliability of MOLEX® connectors.

LED technology has rapidly advanced over the last decade withcriteria of quality & quantity of light, efficacy, life and cost.The XERAMIX™ philosophy is targeting performance well withinnominal specification to create luminaires in a class of their own.

XeramixTM

Multi configuration arrays

Xeramix light engines are available in 25mm, 100mm, 280mm and 560mm lengths. These lengths derive from Xero’s linear fixture algorithm, resulting in the ability to manufacture any luminaire length in 1mm increments.

Industry First

Xero XTA and XTI profiles are all backed by an industry

leading 10 year warranty

Drive current dipswitch

A simple switch configures the total luminaire wattage, lumen output and efficiency without the need to change components. Xeramix light engines have been engineered to support a broad range of drive currents.

Constant pitch, uniform light

LED pitch is maintained across multiple gear trays, creating a uniform ‘dot free’appearance on the diffuser for a highly desirable, continuous ‘ribbon of light’.

Exceptional performance over time

Traditionally low to mid power LEDs are run near their maximum power which makes them susceptible to small variances of electrical and thermal tolerance, multiplied over time in real life.

The Xeramix™ principle is to first adopt LEDs from the world’s leading manufacturers, then design a light engine based on the critical primary criteria of light quality stability and performance over time.

EMC & plastic LED packages

Low to mid power LED packages offer good economy however reliability and lifetime can be significantly affected by energy, temperature and contaminates - such as sulphur. It is important to understand these effects are prominent in real life scenarios, exempt from manufacturers warranties.

Premium EMC & plastic LED packages exposed to sulphur < 24 hours

Performance comparison based on LM80, TM21 testing and ISTM calculation.Please refer to Xeramix™ technical datasheets for more comprehensive performance data.

Tolerance gutter

Allows for thermal expansion and contraction of the diffuser material.

Magnetic cylinder

The cover plate magically snaps into position with ease.

Pin perfect alignment

Internal check pins and mounting screws ensure extrusion shape and structure integrity.

Precision Endcap

Considerable ingenuity has interfaced themain extrusion, gear tray, inner sleeve,diffuser, gasket suspension and cover plate, all together in this single component.

Conceal the end plate

Linear lighting perfection has been realised, introducing our patented Con-Seal ™.The typical industry ‘extrusion + flat endplate’ has been superseded by our precision engineered endcap, complete with ‘magnetic snap’ cover plate that’s nothing short of impressive.

Architectural finish

The CNC machined cover plate can have anodised or powder-coated finishes identical to the housing extrusion for a sleek appearance.

Lumi-Seal™ light leak free

The end result completely eliminates anylight spill ensuring the entire illuminated spaceis the real feature, without visual distraction.

Linear LED evolution

All the issues associated with conventional linear lighting systems have been addressed with this revolutionary two-part design.

Typical industry issues

• light leaks at end cap and diffuser• unsightly misaligned end caps • protruding fastener heads • exposed diffuser expansion gaps

Female inner sleeve

Inner sleeve benefits

Allows for ease of mounting and alignment between sections

Works as a reflector system for maximum light emission

No separate parts to locate or be misplaced

Does not require on-site assembly of gear trays

Our patented joining system is not only the fastest in the market,it incorporates LUMI-SEAL™ for a complete ‘light leak free’ join.Its multiple benefits for both installer and client’s project sets itapart from the rest, reaching a new pinnacle of linear lighting.

Speed ConnectTM

Low profile latch

Couples the two profiles together using tension to

eliminate the gap.

The LUMI-SEAL™ advantage

Eliminates light spill at extrusion and diffuser

Practically seamless joins along the complete length

Architecturally desirable ‘clean lines’

Quick plug wiring

Pre-wired gear trays simply plug together with the proven reliability of MOLEX® connectors.

Clutch Barrel

Internal locking by simply inserting the cable with the ability to adjust the balance and depress for removal.

Anchor pivot

The internal ball rotates using gravity to assist levelling, then is locked by screwing the housing to its base.

High Tensile Cable

Reliability and strength of braided stainless steel wire.

Full length track

The sling can slide the entire length of the luminaire without comprising any upward lighting component.
