The range consists of 10W – 100W fittings in black or white, with or without PIR – all with a beam angle of 120° and a lumen output of 100lm/W. All are rated IP65 and ideal for installation in both domestic and commercial properties. For maximum electrical safety, the electronics inside have been encapsulated for additional protection. Manufactured with an LED array instead of a single chip allowing the powerful light to spread and appear less intense to the eye. Also fitted with cooling fans to assist heat dissipation and increase the life expectancy of the product. Easy to install and an ideal low energy alternative to a Xenon flood – these sleek fittings have a mounting bracket that allows the product to rotate 360° so it can be positioned easily at the required angle.

A grounded light fixture helps provide safety when a wiring circuit malfunctions by ensuring that the fixture will not carry electrical current that can harm an individual. TE’s Ground Clip assembly allows for fast and easy installation due to a design that virtually eliminates the need for fastening ground lead terminals with screws or bolts. The clip area of the terminal is designed to suit a wide range of conditions as it attaches to both painted and bare panels ranging in thickness from 0.48mm to 1.8mm. The cable assembly also works with either aluminium or steel panels. The grounding clip terminal comes with a pilot hole in the clip area that allows the option of permanent installation using a sheet metal screw. It accepts 0.75mm² (18AWG) stranded wire and is available in stainless steel. The cable is readily available in fixed lengths or can be customised upon request.
