Questions about Triathlon
Eight questions specifiers ask about Triathlon honeycomb shades, answered from the Lutron submittals and brochure named in each answer.

Does a Sivoia QS Triathlon honeycomb shade need a power panel?
No: brochure 3672208 presents batteries where no wire can be pulled, and a panel for renovations and new builds.
- Panel CSPS-P1-10-6 (085276): ten shades at 12 V and 5 A
- Panel runs to 200 ft (60 m) on 16 AWG (1,5 mm²)
- Plug-in CSPS-P1-1-6-WH (085283): one shade
Submittals 085745 and 085275 list battery, wired and cordless manual models.
How deep a recess does an inside-mounted Triathlon honeycomb shade need?
Lutron's selection guide 3684408 gives 2 1/2 in (64 mm) of full-recess depth for a battery shade on Tap 'n' Tilt brackets.
- Manual shade on stationary brackets: 2 in (51 mm)
- Outside mount: headrail top at least 3 1/8 in (80 mm) above the trim
- Spacers included clear trim up to 1/2 in (13 mm) thick
What R value do Lutron insulating honeycomb fabrics have?
Lutron's submittal 085275 rates insulating fabrics at 3.4 to 4.3; submittal 085300 adds Sedona sheer 0.7, Prague woven 0.9.
- Light-filtering single cell: Cyprus, Monaco and Rio 3.5; Napa 3.4
- Light-filtering double cell: Monaco and Rio 3.6
- Room-darkening: Cyprus, Monaco and Rio 4.3; Cyprus available fire rated
Lutron shows 7/16 in and 9/16 in cell profiles for general reference only.
How are the batteries changed on a Triathlon honeycomb shade?
Lutron's Tap 'n' Tilt headrail (3672208): press the release buttons, tilt forward, change the batteries, snap back. The shade stays on its brackets.
Submittal 085745 confirms the brackets give access to the battery boxes after mounting. A shade too narrow for in-headrail holders carries an eight-AA holder on the headrail's back, with rear spacers (085275).
