SPECIAL FEATURE

LIGHTING
Omni ’ s built-in , three position switch allows for instant change of the colour temperature to suit the installation . In utilising the latest chip on board ( COB ) LED lighting technology , Scolmore has taken the benefits of an LED light source and using a faceted front lens , has modified the single point of light to give a dichroic effect . This results in a halogen type illumination , which is generally regarded to be the most popular type of lighting effect .
In addition to the new features , Inceptor Omni retains all the benefits that have made the original products so popular among specifiers and contractors . It incorporates Scolmore ’ s FlameGuard technology , for example , offering a 30 , 60 , and 90-minute fire rating , and is acoustic and airflow compliant .
The Inceptor Omni , from Scolmore , allows instant change of the colour temperature to suit the installation .
Modular control
With the ongoing modular building boom and the growing demand for lighting control solutions which reduce installation times , CP Electronics has unveiled the latest addition to its modular lighting connection system range , Vitesse Modular .
Building on the success of the four-way starter box , the new two-way starter box offers greater flexibility and cost savings for contractors . This latest innovation is a direct response to demand for cost effective agile solutions for rooms and corridors with up to six luminaires .
The growing popularity of pluggable solutions is based on pressures to deliver projects within ever tighter budgets and timeframes . The modular nature of Vitesse Modular enables contractors to work more quickly and flexibly as the range grows and adapts over time via the extender box if required . The streamlined design of the new two-way starter comes in either switching ( VITM4-S2 ) or dimming ( VITM6-S2 ).
Compliant with the 17th Edition of the BS7671 wiring regulations , Vitesse Modular is compatible with a range of lighting control and presence / absence detection products .
Rob Crookes , product manager at CP Electronics , explained , ‘ We recognised a gap in the modular building market , specifically within corridor scenarios , and value engineered an ideal solution in our two-way starter box product .’
Three-way dimming
Multi-point LED dimming isn ’ t always as easy as it should be . The ZSmart solves that problem , providing a simple way to install up to three rotary controllers on a single circuit with no dimming pack , no rewiring and no hassle .
ZSmart offers full lighting control from three switch points with each ZSmart on the circuit providing dimming capability for versatile control in domestic or small commercial projects .
One ‘ master ’ switch and up to two ‘ slave ’ switches can be added to a single circuit and the kit connects direct to threecore and earth wiring , for an easy install with minimal disruption on site .
An off the shelf solution to multi-point dimming , ZSmart is available as a grid or plated module for versatility . It supports five to 120W and comes with nine grid adaptors in each pack , including Hager , Lisse and Euro .
The new Vitesse Modular two-way starter box offers flexibility and cost savings for contractors .
