SilverBullet - Dictionary Definition: "A simple
remedy for a difficult or intractable problem."
The SilverBullet™
Sub-Branch Circuit Current Limiter
Description: Lighting calculations for most energy codes include a deduction for each linear foot of track. California’s
Title 24 “charges” 45 watts/linear foot of track lighting. Seattle “charges” 70 watts /foot. ASHRAE, 30
watts/foot. With today’s lighting technology the connected load is far less than the per-foot requirements
of these codes. The SilverBullet, a “Sub-Branch Circuit Current Limiter” solves this requirement by enforcing a definite
current limit to lower the VA rating of each track lighting circuit.
For example, California’s Title 24 would require three track circuits with a total length 100 ft to be
calculated at a minimum of 4500 watts (45 watts/foot x 100 ft). With the SilverBullet those three tracks
could be limited to 8 amps each to reduce the lighting load calculation to 2880 watts (120v x 24 amps).

More Track – Less Penalty
The SilverBullet is UL Listed to be placed in-line between the branch circuit breaker and the track mounted lighting loads.
California 2005 Title 24, Section 130 C(3) states:
(c) Luminaire power. Luminaire wattage
incorporated into the installed lighting power shall
be determined in accordance with the following
criteria: …The wattage of line voltage lighting track
and plug-in busway which allows the addition or
relocation of luminaires without altering the wiring
of the system shall be the volt-ampere rating of the
branch circuit feeding the luminaires.
This what the SilverBullet does. When doing
energy calculations, use the ampere rating of
the supplementary breaker in the SilverBullet
as opposed to the linear footage of the track.
No magic. Just a SilverBullet.
