Engineered for exceptional durability in even the most demanding environments, Metalumen’s Rail Wet Series luminaires depend on the correct mounting to achieve optimal performance and longevity. The choice of mounting is not just a practical consideration; it is crucial for ensuring the fixture functions as intended and maintains its integrity over time.

Exterior Linear Mounting

Surface and recessed mounts are among the most popular choices for the Rail Wet Series, primarily due to their proven reliable performance and exceptional ability to achieve clean architectural integration. These mounting types ensure consistent illumination while blending effortlessly into various structural designs, enhancing the overall aesthetic without visual distraction.

Beyond these common applications, additional recessed options available for the Rail 2 Wet and Rail 4 Wet models include:

  • Perimeter: This specific option is tailored for precisely illuminating defined spaces, enabling uniform light distribution along the boundaries of a room or significant architectural feature. It effectively delineates areas and contributes to a structured lighting scheme.
  • Specialty Ceiling: Designed for impeccable integration, this mounting solution is perfectly suited for sophisticated architectural designs incorporating linear wood or metal ceilings. It ensures the luminaires align and blend discreetly with the ceiling’s pattern, preserving clean lines and a cohesive, contemporary appearance.

Pendant Mount

Pendant solid stems, crafted from stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance, are designed for covered or protected wet locations. They are not suitable for wind loading.

Suitable for covered environments such as:

  • Transit platforms
  • Courtyards and atriums
  • Building entrances
  • Walkways
  • Parking areas

Other Mounting Options

Additional mounting options that are tailored to meet diverse architectural and environmental requirements include:

  • Mullion Mount: This specialized mounting solution allows for discreet and integrated luminaire placement directly onto building mullions, providing seamless illumination that complements the architectural lines of window systems and glass facades. Ideal for maintaining a sleek exterior aesthetic while ensuring effective light distribution.
  • Vertical Wall Mount: Designed for direct attachment to vertical surfaces, this option is perfect for accentuating architectural features, providing facade lighting, or illuminating pathways alongside building walls. It ensures a clean, unobtrusive installation that integrates well with modern designs.
  • Wall Mount: A versatile option, wall mounts provide flexible lighting solutions for a wide range of applications on exterior and interior wall surfaces. This method ensures secure luminaire placement while offering diverse illumination patterns, from ambient to task-specific lighting, tailored to the unique requirements of the space.

Given the unique characteristics of each installation environment, carefully selecting the appropriate mounting solution is essential to ensure both durable performance and optimal integration of your Metalumen luminaires.
