Stainless Steel Bollards complete the new ranges. Designed for GU10 LED lamps, there are IP54 rated 650mm bollards, one slatted and one in black, and a mini twin IP65 option plus a 1.1m black bollard taking A60 lamps or up to 12w LEDs. With die-cast tubular bodies and clear glass diffusers, bollards include base anchoring plates.

With CE and UK/CA approvals, warrantees are three years for step lights and one for bollards.

GESIS FLEX NOW WITH DALI2 GATEWAY

Wieland Electric’s established gesis FLEX series is expanded with the new KNX DALI Gateway. It allows direct communication between the two interoperable and well-known systems, KNX and DALI 2. As a result, it communicates with devices from other manufacturers that are certified in these systems on both sides.

The device covers practically the complete spectrum of lighting control in terms of capability.

It can be utilised for both simple office applications, such as grouping and regrouping connected luminaires in open office areas, and more complicated lighting situations with RGBW and Tunable White requirements. The device’s broad parameter set includes scenes and time controls, as well as operational hours tracking. Simple handling and easy implementation of the construction process criteria were prioritised throughout the device series. The device is mounted decentrally, that is, without the use of a separate casing. All electrical connections are pluggable, ensuring the quickest, easiest, and safest installation procedure for the most pluggable electrical installation available on the market.
