Multiverse System — How to Specify
Multiverse gives designers more expressive range than conventional track lighting, and keeps the specification process simple. If it’s your first time specifying it, welcome aboard — our team supports you through the specification itself, from layout review to submittal package. This page explains how the process works, what to send, and what you’ll receive.
1. Begin with What You Know
You don’t need a finished drawing to begin.
Multiverse is a modular system — it adapts to your space, not the other way around. Whether you’re working from a reflected ceiling plan, a quick sketch, or a concept still taking shape, our team will help translate what you have into a buildable system.
You can send:
- A reflected ceiling plan (RCP)
- A dimensioned sketch
- A layout marked with approximate linear footage
- AutoCAD (2D) or Revit (3D) files
- A description of intent
Start with what you have. We’ll guide the rest.
Fill out the form below or email your lighting plan or drawing directly to [email protected].
2. Planning Support, Included
Project planning is part of every Multiverse specification — there is no fee for review, layout development, or submittal preparation.
Our team will:
- Evaluate your layout and spatial conditions
- Clarify power and dimming requirements
- Define component quantities
- Prepare detailed submittal drawings
- Provide a transparent quotation
This stage is where alignment happens, before fabrication begins.
3. Pricing
Pricing is transparent from the first conversation.
The Ribbon, connectors, and mounting hardware are priced per linear foot — so project cost scales predictably with track length. Spot modules, Weave fixtures, Illuminated Ribbon, power supplies, and power hubs are quoted as line items based on your layout.
Every quotation includes a full component breakdown. Because we sell direct, pricing stays consistent across projects — no rep chain, no guesswork.
4. Starting Your Submittal
5. What You Will Receive
After reviewing your submission, we’ll send:
- Detailed submittal drawings specific to your project
- A complete component list with dimensions
- Power supply locations and quantities
- Switching and circuit clarification
- A clear quotation
This typically takes one to two weeks depending on project scope. The goal at this stage is clarity — before fabrication begins.
6. Power & Integration
Multiverse runs on 24V low voltage, which simplifies distribution and widens the range of workable installation conditions. Our power supplies are engineered specifically for the Multiverse Ribbon and support most major dimming platforms — forward phase (Triac, the traditional incandescent standard), reverse phase (ELV), and 0–10V. If your project’s dimming method is unsettled, there’s a strong chance it will be compatible.
The one decision that typically sits with the specifier is where power lives. A remote power supply can sit in a ceiling cavity, mechanical space, or adjacent area, keeping the ceiling plane unbroken. When above-ceiling access isn’t available, the Multiverse Power Hub mounts locally, sitting on the ceiling surface over an existing junction box and becoming a finished element at the ceiling rather than something to conceal. Most designers know which of these is
workable for their project early on.
7. Finishes & Custom Color
Multiverse components are available in Juniper’s standard finishes, including solid brass and architectural coatings. Custom color is available for an additional flat fee per project, and can be applied to the majority of Multiverse components.
We can match most major color systems, including RAL, Pantone, Benjamin Moore, and Sherwin-Williams. To specify a custom color, send a color code or a physical swatch (2″ × 2″ or larger preferred) to our Connecticut factory. A matched approval sample will be provided before production begins.
8. Installation Documentation
Your submittal defines what goes where. The Multiverse Installation Guide defines how it installs.
On smaller projects, coordinating with the electrician often falls to the designer. The Installation Guide is written to be shared directly with contractors — it covers mounting, connection sequences, and power feed requirements, so you’re not translating between us and the electrical scope.
