CLIQ: A 48-Volt Modular Linear System, and the Numbers That Do Not Agree

CLIQ is not a broad catalog. It is one luminaire family, one power supply family, and the cable that ties them together, all at 48 volts DC and Class 2. The pitch is labor: the bar clips onto strut channel by hand and the run is low voltage, so the electrician installs rather than terminates. It is a brand of 1LUX, and the paperwork says SHIFT Innovations. On my card, and worth understanding before it goes in a basis of design.

What the system is

Three part numbers do almost everything.

What the system is
Part	What it is
The bar	Extruded aluminum, 2 inches wide by 2.6 high, in 24 and 48 inch lengths, with a linear prismatic spread lens. Tool-less clip mount onto steel or aluminum strut, structural grid, T-grid or surface.
Wattage	12 W on the 2 foot only, 24 W on both, 48 W on the 4 foot only.
Optics	Asymmetric, batwing, narrow, symmetric and wide, ordered as a letter in the part number. Occupancy sensor is an option; fascia is black or white, sold as a pair.
Output	2,017 lumens at 12 W and 4,034 at 24 W on the 2 foot; 4,034 at 24 W and 8,068 at 48 W on the 4 foot, on the wide optic.
Colour and CRI	3500, 4000, 5000 K and a five-CCT selectable, at 80 or 90 CRI minimum.
Power supply	Welded steel enclosure, 120 to 277 V AC in, 48 V DC Class 2 out, at 120, 240, 400, 480 or 960 W. Four, five or ten channels depending on capacity. Optional emergency battery gives two hours on sixteen of the 24 inch bars.
Cable	16 AWG Class 2 on Molex connectors, 1 through 10 feet plus 25, 50 and 100. Plenum-rated CL2P is a separate part number, not the default.

Read from the current fixture sheet, revision 08-26, and the power sheet, revision 09-08.

The three efficacy numbers

This one is worth its own heading because all three come from CLIQ.

The three efficacy numbers
Source	Figure
Home page	200 lumens per watt.
Specification sheet energy chart	170 lumens per watt.
That same chart’s own lumen and wattage pairs	2017 divided by 12, 4034 by 24 and 8068 by 48 all come to 168.1.

Schedule 168 and you will never have to walk anything back. I would not put 200 in a submittal.

The warranty is three warranties

The fixture sheet says five years, which is what most people read and stop. The rest is in the other two documents.

The warranty is three warranties
Item	Term
Luminaire	Five years.
Power supply	Three years.
Emergency battery	One year.
Scope	Non-transferable, tied to the original end user at the original location, and it excludes the labor to remove the fixture and put it back.

That last clause is worth reading twice on a product whose entire value proposition is labor savings.

What else to watch

All read off their own published documents.

What else to watch
Watch	Why
Damp location, IP54	Not wet rated. Fine for a data hall or back of house. Not for a canopy, a garage deck or anything that gets washed down.
No DLC listing is published	No DLC mark, no qualified products reference, no product ID on any document. Do not write a utility rebate into the budget until somebody produces the ID.
Plenum is an option, not standard	CL2P means calling out the plenum option and using the plenum cable part numbers. The fixture sheet sends you to the factory for it.
A superseded sheet is still live and still indexed	An older sheet is reachable showing 3000 K, 3,917 lumens at 24 W and fewer listings. Quote against revision 08-26 or later, and note that 3000 K no longer appears as an option.
Dimming runs through the CLIQ supply	Zero to ten volt and PWM are stated as working through the CLIQ power supply. This is not a bar you hang off an existing driver without checking the interface.
Class 2 run limits are not tabulated	The power sheet shows up to twenty fixtures across channels at 24 W to stay Class 2. There is no published table by wattage and no published maximum run length. Get it in writing before the circuit is laid out.
No IES files	Photometrics are published as a drawing of five distribution shapes with no candela values. No IES, no LM-79 report numbers. A layout has to come from the factory.
Listings	UL and ULC, FCC, damp location, IP54, CL2P when specified. 48 V DC Class 2. Power factor above 0.95, L70 at 50,000 hours, minus 20 to 55 C.
Commercial terms are tight	Fifty dollar minimum order fee under 2,500, a 50 percent cancellation fee, a 30 percent restocking fee, and custom or made-to-order product that cannot be cancelled or returned. No standard lead time is published at all.

Questions I get

Who represents CLIQ in South Florida?

CLIQ is on the SESCO Lighting South Florida line card and I am the rep here for Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Monroe.

What efficacy should I schedule?

168 lumens per watt. Their home page says 200 and their spec chart says 170, but the chart’s own lumen and wattage pairs divide out to 168.1. Use the number the data supports.

Is it a five year warranty?

On the luminaire, yes. The power supply is three years and the emergency battery is one. It also excludes the labor to remove and reinstall.

Can I use it outside or in a garage?

No. It is damp location and IP54, not wet rated.

Is CLIQ DLC listed?

Nothing published says so. Assume no rebate until the factory produces a DLC product ID.

How many fixtures can I run on one channel?

The power sheet shows up to twenty at 24 W to stay within Class 2, but there is no published table by wattage and no maximum run length. I get that in writing before a circuit is drawn.

Where the numbers come from, and where to go next

Every figure on this page is read off CLIQ’s own product downloads: the fixture specification revision 08-26, the power specification revision 09-08, the photometrics PDF, the warranty page and the terms of service, fetched 13 September 2026. Where their own documents disagree — efficacy, and the warranty term — this page shows all the figures rather than picking one.
