FOR EXTREMELY LONG LIGHTING RUNS
Lighting Systems with
Marathon Technology
Marathon utilizes a high-voltage DC power distribution system, delivering 380VDC from centralized power supplies. This technology supports continuous linear lighting runs up to 900 feet in certain configurations—without requiring multiple power feeds or intermediate control boxes.
• DC-to-DC conversion, eliminating bulky AC-to-DC drivers.
• Fewer component losses improve energy efficiency.
• No integral driver means less heat in the fixture.
• Cooler operation extends LED and system lifespan.
• DC/DMX cabling ensures cleaner signals with minimal crosstalk.
• Simplified installs with fewer drivers, fewer penetrations, and plugand-play connections.
• Optional ProSurge boxes add 10KVa surge protection, DMX filtering, and signal boost.

Ideal Use Cases for Marathon’s Extended Reach
• Ideal for long, continuous lighting runs across bridges without frequent power injections.
• Powers and controls Skyscrapers and High-Rise Facades lighting over hundreds of meters vertically or horizontally.
• Airports, stadiums, and convention centers benefit from centralized power and extended runs.
• Ensures precise control and consistent illumination across wide historical or civic structures. Reduces visual clutter by limiting the number of visible junction boxes or conduits.
• Provides safe, reliable lighting in linear, constrained environments where maintenance access is limited. Marathon Technology is engineered for projects that demand long, uninterrupted lighting runs with minimal infrastructure. From expansive bridges to sprawling venues, Marathon simplifies installation, reduces visual clutter, and ensures consistent, high quality illumination—even in the most demanding environments.
