February 2, 2007—It’s easier than ever to install lighting anywhere with new wall sconces designed to work with the patented FlatWire, the Invisible Wire. This wiring technology is being introduced by the FlatWire Technologies Division of Southwire, a leading manufacturer of electrical wire and cable.
The new FlatWire Ready low voltage wall lighting system is UL-listed and includes a wide range of decorator-style sconces and complete Add-A-Light installation kits.
The award-winning FlatWire Ready technology allows these low voltage lighting fixtures to be mounted anywhere on walls or ceilings and connected to an existing electrical outlet without drilling holes, pulling electrical wires or using extension cords. Unlike conventional “round” wire, FlatWire is easily installed and can create a virtually invisible wiring system. Installation is completely safe for professionals and do-it-yourselfers.
Nearly 30 different FlatWire Ready lighting sconces are now available in a wide variety of decorator finishes and styles. Each FlatWire Ready Add-A-Light Low Voltage Kit accommodates up to two fixtures and includes connectors, a wall plate, transformer and 25 feet of low voltage FlatWire.
Using the Invisible Wire Solution is a non-invasive, low-cost alternative to cutting holes in walls to run new wires or install new outlets. FlatWire can be placed on walls and ceilings, and when finished using standard concealing and painting techniques becomes virtually invisible.
Because of its ease of use and flexibility, many new FlatWire-compatible products are being introduced. Southwire already offers other FlatWire Ready products, including cable and interconnects that can be used in a variety of low voltage lighting, audio, video, voice and data applications. Future applications for other wiring products are in development.
