Ecobuild wasn’t an exhibition that had been on our list of
priorities until we had a call from the Institution of Lighting Professionals
(ILP) inviting us to join them in their “Lightscene” zone.
We agreed, and were really pleased with the result. Simon did a 15 minute talk on the Wednesday, “
Lux, Lumens and Watts”, inspired by the ILP “Guide to the Specification of LED
Lighting Products 2012” to help people make more informed choices about LED
lighting. After all, LED lighting is a
significant investment so it’s important to avoid the many pitfalls. (Also read
our other blog articles).
We also took the opportunity to show some of our new
products and gauge reaction:-
The Lincoln LED streetlight is available from under £150 and will easily replace up to 90W SOX
luminaires. At the price, it may be a
much better option for S class areas than simply replacing the lamp. This was very well received and several
requests for further information were made from as far afield as the UK,
Belgium, Spain and Kenya.
The Brighton Bay / Dover flood lights have interchangeable reflectors making it possible to
change the beam angle to suit specific applications and for change of use of
areas within a building. LED lighting is
a major investment so “future proofing” was considered a good idea.
Replaceable LED geartrays for 2D CFL bulkheads are a good alternative to the readily available
LED replacement lamp as the driver is separate and better cooled, allowing the light
output to better match the traditional lamp.
The standard LED replacement lamp doesn’t quite have the light output to
adequately replace CLFs. What’s more,
replacing the complete gear tray is quicker and easier to install than rewiring
for the lamp.
We met with many professionals and lighting specifiers so
hope to see an increase in business. The
coming months will tell.
