Linect® – the Connection System for Lighting Installation

The modern connection system for lighting installation has a name – Linect^®. Lights with a Linect^® interface provide connections for both conventional field-wiring terminal blocks and pluggable connectors – regardless of the manufacturer. Modern, pluggable electrical installation with Linect^® enables fast and easy installation of recessed luminaires with any pluggable connector systems.

Linect^® system features:

Plug-and-play connections for fast installation of Linect^® Lights
Compatible with all types of connections: conventional and pluggable
Assembly is just as fast as disassembly – even during operation

Overview of Linect^®
