PENDANTS:

MOUNTING:

The 16.40 is a tree-like 16 installation using 40 pendants and a modular

stainless steel armature system mounted to a seven tube stainless steel ‘birch’

base. These trees are designed to be grouped into forest-like assemblies of a

variety of different sizes and types, but are strong compositional elements on

their own. Installation of these trees is involved and Bocci recommends a

structural consultant to assess the viability of the system in the context

in which it is to be installed. Installation requires anchoring into either an

existing structural slab, or a newly built foundation, to the speciﬁcations of

the design drawings including appropriate drainage if exposed to water and

remotely mounted LED drivers.

16 is formed by sequentially pouring three separate layers of coloured, molten

glass – in varying opacities – on a horizontal plane. Each layer responds to the

indeterminate shape of the previous pour to create a uniquely layered whole. Two

of these pieces are then attached and illuminated with an internal LED lamp.

The ﬁnished 16 is visually complex: each separate colour layer is visible through

the other layers, with light reﬂecting along the edges.

Each armature segment carries low-voltage electricity and diverges into 2-4

separate branches, allowing both vertical and horizontal deployment with an

inﬁnite variety of possible forms. The branches simply click together during

installation for custom, on-site arrangements.

All trees are rated for outdoor (or indoor) use based on structural analysis for

the maximum loaded trees noted above in moderately sheltered locations near

seawater with minimal snow loads. Any other application restraints may need

further engineering.

The distance of a pendant from the tree can only be increased if fewer pendants

per branch are used, up to a maximum of 1800mm with a single pendant.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of these trees is involved and Bocci recommends a structural consultant to assess the suitability & implications

of the environment it is to be installed in, in relation to climatic based forces to which it was designed. Installation requires

anchoring into either an existing structural slab, or a newly built foundation, to the speciﬁcations of the design drawings

including appropriate drainage if exposed to water and remotely mounted LED drivers.

Anchoring of these trees is critical and it is imperitive that the assembly drawings are followed. However the foundation and

ﬁxing of anchors to the foundation are the responsibility of the client. Drawings are provided only to provide a general idea

of what is involved in installation for early design phase development. The trees are design for the load assumptions above

and thus should not be installed in a location where any of the above design forces are to be surpassed. Neglecting the

design forces may lead to failure of the structure. Where installation sites have climatic data providing forces less than those

mentioned above, the design of a suitable foundation is to be provided by aforementioned structural engineer.

The modular trees will deﬂect under wind loading. All modular tree components should be kept at least 600mm away from

any other object, so as to allow space for the tree to deﬂect without coming into contact with other objects and causing

damage to the object.

For our purposes, and due to speciﬁc site constraints that will guide the preparation of the site, the installation instructions

begin with the anchors already installed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

21 3 4 5 6

Using heavy equipment, orient the

tree base in the direction you want the

branches to go, and lower it onto the

anchor bolts. Repeat this step for all

nearby trees.

Once all tree bases are in place, level

the bases using the nuts below the

baseplates. Place another washer on

each anchor followed by a nut and

tighten the nuts on top until snug.

Note:

There will be a wire coming from the

middle of the bottom of each base,

make sure that the wires do not get

damaged during install.

With the anchors in place, spin

two of the provided nuts followed

by a washer onto each anchor.

Make sure a minimum of 19mm

(3/4”) space for drainage below

the tree is maintained.

Mount LED drivers remotely and route

output wiring from LED driver to tree

location using 12GA direct burial wire.

Note: Up to 13 pendants may be

connected to a single driver.

Note:

Drivers must be remote mounted in a

close by, waterproof, accessible and

hidden location for ease of long term

maintenance. Installation to be done

by certiﬁ ed personnel to ensure code

compliance.

Connect the cables to the open slots

in the terminal block on the 12V side

of the LED drivers. Ensure that the

braided outer wires are all connected

to one 12V output wire and all inner

insulated wires are connected to the

other or a short will occur.

Once all the coaxial connections are

made, connect the line voltage to the

open slot in the appropriate terminal

block.

Once all wiring connections are

complete, and the nuts are snug-

tight, slide the cover down over

the plate until it rests on either the

gussets or the ground.

Note:

Bocci recommends installing the

ﬁ nish ﬂ oor height higher than the

cover plate with a small reveal

around the tree base or alternately

installing ﬂ ush with the cover plate.

Depending on the ﬁ nal installation

ﬁ nish, you may want to ﬁ nish the

ﬂ oor at this point if the ﬁ nished

ﬂ oor can support a lift or scaffold

for installation of pendants. If not,

complete the installation following

steps 7 - 11 before completing the

ﬂ ush mount detail.

You should now have an

upright tree base ready

for composition of the

pendants according to the

speciﬁ cation sheet.

All exposed male connecting pieces will

terminate with pendants, keep this in

mind as you compose your light ﬁ xture.

Installation strategy involves connecting

a combination of straight female

connector pieces and bent or branch

male components.

Take your time to compose and

recompose your light installation to

your chosen aesthetic (see bocci.ca for

examples).

Note:

The components are sorted into kits by

branch and these kits can be arranged

in any conﬁ guration desired. However, if

components are swapped between kits

or different groupings are used on other

branches, it may be possible to overload

a branch leading to pieces bending.

It is easier to assemble branches in

smaller sections before attaching to the

tree bases.

Each armature component can be

rotated in 45 degree intervals. Once the

component orientation is chosen, set

in place using the set screws provided

with a slotted screw driver. Each piece

of tubing has 2 - 3 set screws around

its circumference. These should be

tightened evenly so that all set screws

are engaged the same amount,

centering the male end within the

female connection.

Note:

The size of the armature tubing

corresponds to speciﬁ c set screw sizes:

small Ø17mm - M4

medium Ø 20mm - M5

large Ø 25mm - M6

Insert LED into lampholder, and then

plug each lampholder into all exposed

male connections.

Slide the pendant onto the male

connector, orient as desired, and secure

using an M3 set screw (provided).

Note:

If the ﬁ xture sags or seems unbalanced

you may be overloading the ﬁ xture.

Remove pendants, or shorten cantilever

as required.

Tighten all set screws to 0.5 Nm (0.36

ft/lb) and clean ﬁ ngerprints from

pendants.

Turn light ﬁ xture on.

exposed male ends

Components are sorted into kits to correspond

to speciﬁ c branches to aid in installation. Do

not mix or combine kits as the engineering

and design criteria have been done for these

speciﬁ c conﬁ gurations.

Take inventory of all the parts in the kit as you

will use these to compose your ﬁ xture.

There may be ten types of components and

up to three sizes of each piece (Ø17mm,

Ø20mm, Ø25mm) depending on the ﬁ xture

ordered.

You may use all the components, or any

combination of them in your composition.

Note the connectors on each end are either

male (m) or female (f). A male part can only be

joined with a female part.
