# Fixture Designations
## Naming
### Format
```regex
<phase-abbr> - <assembly>(\: <subtype>)?( - <fixture-labor>)? \(<wiring-method>\)( <wm-descriptor>)* <branch-length>ft
```
> [!example]
> `A - Surface: Pendant - 2.0hrs (MC) LV 20ft`
## Order
Use empty designations to separate phases.
> [!example]
>
> ```
> *** Hotel Units ***
> HU - Surface (MC) LV 20ft
> HU - Surface - 1.5hrs (MC) LV 20ft
> HU - Surface: Pendant - 2.0hrs (MC) LV 20ft
> HU - Surface: J-Box For Future Fixture (MC) LV 20ft
> HU - Recessed (MC) LV 20ft
> *** Condo Units ***
> CU - Surface: Tape - 1.0hrs (MC) LV 25ft
> CU - Surface: Wall (MC) LV 25ft
> ```
## Fixture Labor
| Fixture Type | Labor |
| ------------ | -------------- |
| Paddle Fan | 1.5 hrs/ea |
| Pendant | 1-4 hrs/ea[^1] |
| Strip/Cove | 0.083 hrs/ft |
| Site Poles | 1.5 hrs/ea |
| Festoon | 2 hrs/ea |
| All Others | 1 hrs/ea |
## Fixture Branch Length
| Case | Standard Length |
| ------------- | --------------- |
| Site/Courtyard | 50ft[^1] |
| Garage | 50ft |
| BOH | 40ft |
| Corridors | 40ft |
| Interior Amenity | 40ft[^2] |
| Office/Retail | 50ft |

| Units | 20ft |
## Fixture Branch Wire size
| Case | Wire Size |
| -------------- | --------- |
| Site/Courtyard | #10[^1] |
| Garage | #10 |
| NM Cable | #14[^2] |
| All Others | #12 |
## Garage
## Fixtures
Use ENT Assembly unless spec requires otherwise.
`PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES`/`GARAGE FIXTURE ENT W/#10 - STEEL OCT RING`
`PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES`/`GARAGE FIXTURE W/T ROD ENT W/#10 - STEEL OCT RING`
If PVC, use following assemblies:
| Case | Assembly Path |
| ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Ceiling | `PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES`/`... - SLAB BOX / 45 DEG STUBBY` |
| Wall | `PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES`/`... - STL BOX & TILE RING / 45 DEG STUBBY/ ENT DROP` |
## Homeruns
> `System` = "EL - Electrical"
Use 1 Homerun for every 3 circuits in Garage
Use assembly `Common Assemblies`/`Device Homeruns in Slab/Deck`
## Surface Mount
> [!info] Surface Mount Fixtures
> * Wall Mount (Sconce)
> * Pendant
> * Linear
> * Tape
> * Track
| Wiring Method | Assembly Path |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| NM Cable | `NM ASSEMBLIES`/`RND BOX BAR HNGR...` |
| MC Cable | `MC ASSEMBLIES`/`SQ BOX, ROUND P RING & MNTG BRKT...` |
| PVC in Ceiling | `PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES`/`... - SLAB BOX / 45 DEG STUBBY` |
| PVC in Wall | `PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES`/`3/4" PVC W/ 3#12 - STL BOX/TILE RING` |
| EMT | `EMT ASSEMBLIES`/`... - SQ BOX & ROUND P RING` |
> [!note]
> Use lighting control cable assemblies in Amenity areas
### Tape Lighting
Also called "cove" or "strip",
however those terms are less specific
and potentially confusing.
Use item `FIXTURE LABOR 1/2HR`
and change `Fct 1` to match the calculated labor.
> [!note]
> Tape lighting length is limited by the "max power length" of the model
> (usually measured in millimeters).
> Max power length is usually 5000 to 15000 mm (about 16 to 49 ft)
> depending on luminous output and voltage.
Separate these fixtures by labor, not length
```
A - Surface: Tape - 0.5hr (01-06ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 1.0hr (07-12ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 1.5hr (13-18ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 2.0hr (19-24ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 2.5hr (25-30ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 3.0hr (31-36ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 3.5hr (37-42ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 4.0hr (43-48ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 4.5hr (49-54ft) - MC #12 40ft
```
## Recessed
> [!info] Recessed Fixtures
> * recessed downlight
> * recessed linear
> * wall grazer
> * troffer
| Wiring Method | Assembly Path |
| ------------- | ------------------------------ |
| NM Cable | `NM ASSEMBLIES`/`HI HAT - ...` |
| MC Cable | `MC ASSEMBLIES`/`HI HAT - ...` |
For crowded puck light areas:
measure length between fixtures,
round up to the nearest 5ft
> [!note]
> "HI HAT" refers to a recessed can fixture.
## Undercabinet Fixtures
| Wiring Method | Assembly Path |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| NM Cable | `NM ASSEMBLIES`/`UNDER CABINET - ...` |
| MC Cable | `MC ASSEMBLIES`/`UNDER CABINET - ...` |
> [!note]
> Takeoff 2 fixtures if jumping over oven
Use 10ft \#12/2 for MC & NM
## Paddle Fans
| Wiring Method | Assembly Path |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| NM Cable | `NM ASSEMBLIES`/`RND BOX BAR HNGR...` |
| MC Cable | `MC ASSEMBLIES`/`FAN RATED OCT BOX W/ BAR HNGR - ...` |
| PVC | `PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES`/`... - SLAB BOX / 45 DEG STUBBY` |
## Stairwells & Elevators
`PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES`/`... - SLAB BOX / 45 DEG STUBBY`
## Facade
> `Phase` = "Facade"
Length and Labor will be more than a normal fixture in BOH/Amenity
| Fixture Type | Labor (hrs) |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| Non-Linear | 2 |
| Linear | [See tape lighting](#Tape Lighting) |
> 1. `3/4" PVC W/ 3#10 - STL BOX & TILE RING / 45 DEG STUBBY/ ENT DROP`
> * `Length per Unit` = Distance to panel
## Porte Cochere (Drive up Area)
Create its own breakout in WBS, and phase in Accubid
> [!quote]
> This is not technically exposed or drop ceiling, but still use PVC
## FAA Lighting
> 1. `FIXTURE LABOR`/`FIXTURE LABOR 1HR`
> 2. `FESTOON & ROOF ASSEMBLIES`/`Aircraft Warning, 3/4" Conduit GRC/PVC 2#10, 1#10G`
## Site & Courtyard
### Breakdowns
> System: "FML - Site Fixtures Material & Labor"
### Fixture Assemblies
| Fixture Type | Assembly Path |
| ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Step Light | `COURTYARDS & LANDSCAPE`/`STEP FIX, 3/4" CONDUIT - PVC40 - ...` |
| Bollard | `COURTYARDS & LANDSCAPE`/`BOLLARD, 3/4" CONDUIT - PVC40 - ...`[^1] |
| Up-light | `COURTYARDS & LANDSCAPE`/`PERMA POST, 3/4" CONDUIT - PVC40 - ...` |
| In-grade up-light | `COURTYARDS & LANDSCAPE`/`3/4" CONDUIT - PVC40, IMC Elbow, ...` |
| Fixtures built into cabanas/pergolas | `COURTYARDS & LANDSCAPE`/`ALUM BOX W/ FLEX FIX, 3/4" CONDUIT - PVC40 - ...` |
| Handrail light | `COURTYARDS & LANDSCAPE`/`ALUM BOX W/ FLEX FIX, 3/4" CONDUIT - PVC40 - ...`[^2] |
[^1]: If we don't own concrete, delete Pre-cast bollard base from assembly
[^2]: Per Corwin: Hand rail lights should have a rigid 90 stub up and some flex
### Festoon Lighting
> AKA "string" or "market" lights
> 1. `FIXTURE LABOR`/`FIXTURE LABOR 2HR`
> 2. `FESTOON & ROOF ASSEMBLIES`/`FESTOON CABLE HANGER & EYE BOLTS - LENGTH`
> * `Length per Unit` = Light string length
> 3. `COURTYARDS & LANDSCAPE`/`ALUM BOX W/ FLEX FIX, 3/4" CONDUIT - PVC40 - ...`
> * `Length per Unit` = Distance to panel + 15ft
