Shining lights for 2022

Here the company highlights some of the new products it believes will be star performers during 2022.

New floodlighting additions

Inceptor Ace is a range of adjustable, LED asymmetric floodlights. Asymmetric floodlights are superior in concentrating light where it is needed by using reflectors to direct light in front of the fixture where illuminance is required. With symmetric floodlights, on the other hand, the light is distributed evenly in all directions. The Inceptor Ace floodlights are IP65 rated and are available in a black finish, in 50W, 100W, 150W, 200W and 300W versions, with 4000K cool white LEDs. They are supplied with a 2m pre-wired cable flex for quick and easy installation, and a fully adjustable aluminium mounting bracket, which allows full control of the projection angle. Photocell versions are also available, offering all the features and benefits of the standard fitting described above. The photocell versions turn the light on when the light level drops under 10-20 lux and turns the light off once the light level is over 30-60 lux.

Inceptor Murus is an LED Wall Pack with CTA Switch and a robust IK10 rated housing that makes it ideal in outdoor settings. The IP-66 rated fitting is designed to be fast and simple to install and is available in 15W and 25W options and in a choice of standard, photocell and emergency versions. The photocell version can assist with energy saving by allowing the light to turn on and off at set lux levels. Inceptor Murus will turn on when the lux level is below 10-30 lux.

Installation of the Murus is quick and easy, thanks to the Push Fit/Piano Key Terminal Block and the floodlight can be Besa box or trunking mounted. All models include a CTA switch, allowing the product to change colour temperature between Warm White 3000K, Cool White 4000K and Daylight 6000K. It is available in anthracite grey or light grey and comes with a five-year warranty.

The Gator LED Street Lighting range with CTA Switch and IK10 housing is ideal for lighting larger outdoor areas, such as car parks. They are designed to be easy to install via toolless entry and offer 50,000-hour lifetime, 85° x 150° beam angle and IP66 ingress protection. The shorting cap can be replaced with a photocell sensor to offer an energy saving feature. Gator is available in a grey finish and come with a five-year warranty.

New commercial products

Added to the Commercial offer is the Sprite range of recessed TRIAC dimmable LED downlights with CTA switch. These IP54-rated aluminium downlights are supplied with TRIAC dimmable drivers which are pre-wired with a Fast Fit Flow connector or 3-in-1 multi-function dimming option for quick and easier installation.

There are four sizes available – 3”, 5”, 6” and 8” diameter – and a choice of 13W, 18W, 25W and 35W versions, to cover a wide range of installation types and requirements.

E-Sprite is a range of recessed LED downlights with CTA switch. These eco commercial downlights are available in 9W, 15W, 25W or 30W. They are supplied with a CTA switch as standard and are pre-wired with a Fast Fit Flow connector or 3-in-1 multi-function dimming option for quick and easier installation.

There have also been new additions to the Amenity products section, including a range of new wall lights and ground lights. Within the Domestic section, new and improved versions of the popular Nano compact fire-rated LED adjustable and fixed downlight and the Inceptor Omni fire-rated tricolour dimmable downlight have been added. The new Nano V2 and Omni V2 are supplied with push-fit Flow connectors which feature push-in, low maintenance terminals to offer a time-saving benefit for installers. With the driver now incorporated into the Flow connector, this means that insulation can be laid over the fitting. Both also benefit from an improved lumen output.
