LIGHTING
Casings for wiring devices are
manufactured from tough, impact
and UV-resistant polycarbonate, and
all offer cable entry knockouts of
20mm.
Double pole 13A sockets come in
single or two gang, with two gang
RCD or wireless-controlled options
available too. The wireless remotes
– as with the companion switch
boxes – operate on 2.4GHz with a
range of 10 to 20m, depending on
environmental conditions.
Two-way switches are available
as single to two gang and are 10X
and fully rated for fluorescent or
inductive loads.
There is a choice of two fused spurs,
either switched or unswitched; and
the collection is completed by cable
glands and enclosures in a choice of
sizes up to 184 x 274 x 135mm.
Let there be light
The company’s extensive high
quality and easy to install exterior
lighting collection includes
floodlights, decorative and spike and
groundlights.
Floodlights come in a huge variety
of permutations – styles, materials,
IP ratings, lamp type and outputs –
and provide for every requirement,
environment, budget and taste. PIR
or microwave sensor versions offer
a choice of time, sensitivity and lux
level.
Floodlight casings come in
aluminium or polycarbonate, in
black and white, depending on
model and lamp options including
HQI, SON and LED. All floodlights
are IP rated to IP65, except for
LED PIR security spotlights in
polycarbonate which are IP44.
Wattages vary from 70W to 150W
in HQI and SON, and 10W to 200W
in LED. LED outputs range from
10lm to 17150lm, with colour options
being RGB, 3500K standard or warm
white, 4000K cool white, 5000K
blue-white and 6000K daylight.
As with all Knightsbridge products,
the floodlights have been designed
with installers in mind, featuring
integral or easy-fix brackets for wall
mounting and internal junction
boxes or terminals blocks to allow
direct wiring.
Exterior decorative lights come in
a range of either contemporary
or traditional designs – ranging
from square, rectangular, round or
cylindrical wall washers in black,
white or steel finishes through to
bollards, steel and glass globes; and
aluminium carriage lanterns.
Lamp choices are LED, GU10 or
E27 depending on the fitting, and
wattages range from 3W in 3500K
warm white for LED mini wall lights
through to 60W for globe wall lights.
Spike lights for garden accents
and pathways are offered in either
thermoplastic, stainless still or diecast
aluminium. Lamps are either
E27, GU10 or LED in warm white,
blue or daylight; and IP ratings range
from IP44 for thermoplastic units
through to IP65 for metal lights.
Metal spike lights have 2m of fitted
cables and come in black, grey, steel
or brushed chrome finishes.
Knightsbridge’s stainless steel or
aluminium groundlights are ideal for
driveways, decks, patios and even
indoors, such as in kitchens.
A choice of contemporary shapes
is available, and lamps are LED
or GU10 Halogen depending on
model. The units are pre-wired with
up to 2.5m of cable; and lipped
or interchangeable versions offer
flexibility in light direction. Finishes
are chrome, brushed chrome or
stainless steel.
Thanks to Knightsbridge’s quality
and hard-wearing IP-rated
weatherproof and outdoor ranges,
installers and designers can provide
end-users with both power and light
in the garden for all applications,
combining ultimate safety with high
performance and superb value for
money.
