Question 6

Can I create a Perifo setup that has multiple power supply units so that I can power more than 100 W of lights?

Accepted Answer

Perifo was designed to work with a single power supply unit. Using more than one PSU is not supported. If you want to create a setup of more than 100 W (or 90 W in the United States and Canada), use two separate setups placed next to, but not connected to, each other.

Question 7

Can I switch the connectors I have on rails that I've already installed with the flexible connector?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Before you start, turn the electricity powering the fixture off. Remove the rail cover, and loosen the screws so that the rail can move around slightly. Place the connector into place, and tighten the screws on the rail. Place the connector into the second rail, and install it as shown in the manual.

Question 8

There's a gap when I place the cover onto my T connector. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

If there is a gap, gently press the cable into extra space in the connector's housing to shorten its length and try again.

Question 9

How to I rotate the Perifo cylinder spotlight?

Accepted Answer

Perifo cylinder spotlights can be rotated 350 degrees to shine light where you need it. It’s simple to do: hold the light and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise. Note that the spotlight does not fully rotate 360 degrees, as there is a stopping point at the base of the light.

Question 10

How does Perifo track lighting connect to power?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the power supply unit you choose. The 1-point and 2-point power supply units are wired into your home's electricity via an electrical box on the ceiling. A 1-point power supply unit with a plug is meant for wall setups, and it can be plugged into a standard outlet.

Question 11

Can I mount the ceiling power supply unit to the wall or the wall power supply unit to the ceiling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Though the power supply units were designed for either the wall or ceiling, if you have an electrical box on your wall, you can use the ceiling power supply unit. Conversely, if you have a wall outlet on your ceiling, you can use the wall power supply unit.

Question 12

How do I know how many rails and connectors I need?

Accepted Answer

We recommend looking at our How-to guide before buying any components. This way, you can see which layout you like and get a list of the connectors and rails you need. If you want to go bigger than the example, you can — just add longer (or more!) rails and more connectors.
