Eaton Electric 3DONCASTER … Eaton has unveiled an IP65 high-bay luminaire with a level of energIP65 high-bay luminairey efficiency that enables full return on investment within 18 months. The easy-to-install Litex Elite, which delivers up to 170 luminaire lumens per circuit watt (Llm/cW), is ideally suited to warehouse and industrial buildings thanks to IP65 water and dust ingress protection, long lifespan and resistance to extreme temperatures.

The power management company estimates that a commercial building containing 100 HID metal halide luminaires could reduce its annual lighting costs from £47,330 to £12,450 by replacing them with Litex Elite units.

Eaton Electric 2Based on the outstanding energy efficiency of the luminaires, Eaton calculates a typical payback period of 18 months or less, which could be cut to less than 12 months through participation in the UK government’s Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme.

In addition to IP65 protection against dust and low-pressure jet washing, the new luminaire benefits from IK10 impact protection and can operate in temperatures ranging from -40C to +50C. However, its toughness is matched by outstanding performance. The Litex Elite emits light of up to 35,000 lumens with excellent colour recognition, while the distribution of light means specifiers and installers can optimise spacing.

Meanwhile, maintenance requirements are minimised by the Litex Elite’s long lifespan, backed by Eaton’s standard five-year warranty on lighting.

Eaton Electric 1Further energy savings can be achieved by incorporating optional daylight and occupancy controls. The IP65 PIR sensor detects movement within a wide detection zone of 40m at a 15m mounting height.

The need for standalone emergency luminaires can also be reduced with the option of integrated emergency lighting capability in the Litex Elite. This can help building owners and managers meet their obligation to protect staff and visitors by supporting safe movement of people in the event of a blackout. Failure to meet these obligations can leave businesses vulnerable to legal, financial and reputational risks.

Ease of installation is enabled by versatile mounting brackets, accessories for trunking, drop rod or S-hook chain suspension and an IP65 plug-and-play connector.

Ian Roberts, product manager for mains lighting at Eaton, said: “As an IP65 rated high-bay luminaire with such outstanding efficiency and performance credentials, the Litex Elite represents a significant leap forward. During the design process, huge attention has been given to the details that make a difference, such as the sealed and washable IP65 / IK10 housing, and high quality LED chips and drivers.

“Buyers will be reassured by the fact that, like all of our lighting products, the Litex Elite has been fully tested and, as a member of the Lighting Industry Association, Eaton complies fully with the LIA’s validation programme. In a market where inflated claims are often made about LED luminaires, it’s important that Eaton stands tall as a trusted supplier by offering proven products.”

Stepping up: easy-fit low level light

Stepping up_ surface mount_easy install_steplightsTimeguard’s new range of super-slimline, compact surface mounted IP65 LED step lights make it easy to add decorative and safety lighting on steps and decks.

There’s no need to channel out the step or wall and the double-insulated luminaires do not require an earth. The surface mount back plates provide for fast terminal block connection, making them even quicker and easier to install.

Delivering from 20 to 24 Lumens of cool white light the new dark grey and white polycarbonate Timeguard Step Lights have the good looks and guaranteed durability that property owners will welcome indoors or out. They are remarkably compact – the round model, for instance, is just 150mm in diameter and 27mm deep, and will provide discrete, trouble-free down lighting for steps, corridors and passageways indoors and out for many years.

Electrical wholesalers are now stocking square, oblong and round versions in both colours

 

Pretty tough_Timeguard LED bulkheadsPretty tough: more LED die-cast bulkhead lights from Timeguard

After the runaway success of its round and oval slimline outdoor die cast LED lights, Timeguard has extended the range with round eyelid and grill designs.

The eyelid design gives installers control over the field of illumination, allowing for down lighting: while the grid pattern, as well as being decorative, adds even more protection to what is already a very tough polycarbonate diffusing lens. These 25W, 240mm diameter lights deliver bright light economically:  1100 Ln for the eyelid model 1800 Ln for the grid design.

With IP65 weatherproofing and, of course, the 3 year guarantee that is the signature of Timeguard quality, the new luminaires are available from electrical wholesalers now.

Originally part of Smiths Industries Group, and now a member of the Europe-wide Theben group of companies, Timeguard develops innovative products for the electrical trade that are easy to install and which focus on time, lighting and climate control that delivers energy savings.

Published in Northern Ireland Electrical, September/October 2015

image001Buoyed by the continuing success of its NIGHTeye range, which continues to prove that quality counts, Timeguard has revealed more new products for winter 2015, with indoor fittings making their first appearance in the range.

The new ranges open up huge potential for you as they offer direct replacements for older energy-guzzling designs: 2Ds, halogen spotlights and traditional lanterns.  And, as if the energy savings and reliability aren’t enough, Timeguard’s attention to design and detail will make them attractive for use in and around any home or office.

Engineered for fast, easy installation, with an assured quality from the Timeguard brand, these are a sure revenue earners for wholesalers and installers alike.

LED-day for 2Ds

Now you can offer your customers a direct replacement for 2D fluorescent light fittings with the promise of big energy savings. Where 2D fluorescent lamp fixtures were the go-to energy saving choice of their day, they were installed in their millions in buildings throughout the country: that’s now a massive market ripe for an upgrade to LED.

The new super slim LED models from Timeguard, available in black or white,  are stylish enough for use in offices and homes, and tough and weatherproof enough for commercial and outdoor use. 12W and 18W models, with a compact footprint for stylish wall or ceiling fitting, there is also the option of a 12w oval version. The Timeguard 3 year guarantee is the icing on the cake.

Spot the difference

Halogen up/down spotlights have always been popular with anyone with an eye for lighting design and now Timeguard has brought an LED-ready range to market to provide energy saving opportunities as well as stylish design.

A range of high quality metal LED ready up/down spotlights will provide trouble free switching of GU10 LED lamps for years to come – and they carry the Timeguard 3 year guarantee.

Stylish and weatherproof, they can be used indoors and out. Fixed, adjustable and up/down versions are offered and there’s a choice of shiny metallic stainless steel or matte black finish.  Halogen bulbs can be fitted if required.

‘Tis (almost) the season

With winter approaching, traditional styles of outdoor security lanterns and courtesy lights are more in demand. Not surprisingly, you can rely on Timeguard to deliver the goods with a new range featuring a low energy LED bonus. Timeguard’s new carriage lanterns provides the same instant on brightness that users have become used to with halogen and incandescent lights in the past, and prefer for automatic outdoor lighting.

It is fit-and forget, in black or white and with a choice of basic courtesy lights or ones with integral PIR detectors.  IP44 weatherproof protection is a given, and there’s even a 4W LED candle lamp included in the box. Of course, when Timeguard says fit and forget, it means it: with a rare 3 year guarantee you have all the assurance of quality and reliability you need.

Take control

Timeguard’s latest PIR lighting controller provides all the power you need to manage LED lighting systems. It is rated to switch LED lighting and will manage up to a pretty impressive 140W and is also suitable for 500W fluorescent or up to 2300W halogen incandescent lighting.

These stylish new detectors feature a 12m detection range with a wide 180o detection field, adjustable light on times from 5 seconds to 15 minutes and light level adjustment that enables installers to set it up to trigger switching at exactly the right light level in any location.  With IP55 rating and a rare 3 year guarantee of quality, it really is specified to be the workhorse PIR controller of choice.

LEDs are leading the way!
