Skyhook Retractable
Lighting Support
Leviton Skyhook is a unique retractable lighting support
device designed specifically for mounting entertainment
lighting fixtures required in multi-purpose architectural
spaces. Built into the ceiling, the Skyhook offers an attractive
alternative to installing unsightly, permanently visible lighting equipment in finished ceiling areas. When presentation
lighting is required in a multi-purpose space for special events
such as banquets, weddings, or business meetings, the
Skyhook provides an aesthetic, yet practical solution.
1. Retracted - Ready for use.
2. Lower
APPLICATIONS
• Ballrooms
• Houses of Worship
• Lobbies
• Any multi-purpose architectural
space occasionally requiring special
presentation lighting
3. Slide
When special presentation lighting is required for an event, the Skyhook is lowered, the pipe
is installed, and lighting instruments are attached. Power and data (audio and video optional)
are then connected directly into the side of the lowered Skyhook for quick and easy control
of lighting fixtures. When the event is over, the lighting instruments and other equipment
can be removed and the Skyhook disappears out of sight.

voltage connectors for video or audio signals. Users
can then hang video monitors, speakers and/or automated devices from the Skyhook mounting pipe.
