OUTDOOR LIGHTING ON THE UP – AND DOWN – WITH KNIGHTSBRIDGE RANGE Knightsbridge is expanding its comprehensive range of decorative outdoor lighting with the introduction of its latest wall light range (product code: OWALL). The stylish, contemporary looking line-up provides options for both down- and up-lighting from a sleek cylindrical, stainless steel body that is configured to provide a choice of either single or dual source lighting. The single lamp option measures a compact 110mm in height, 60mm diameter and has a projection of 96mm. The two-lamp version is 170mm in height but with the same dimensions for diameter and projection as the single lamp version. Available in a choice of popular finishes – black, anthracite, brushed chrome or white – the IP54-rated OWALL can take a standard sized GU10 lamp and is dimmable dependent on lamp type, further increasing the range of lighting effects. Both new versions come with a standard warranty of two years, giving peace of mind. Whatever the outdoor application, Knightsbridge has a product that can do it beautifully.

SCOLMORE GETS SERIOUS IN THE SMART HOME MARKET Scolmore Group has developed a brand new and comprehensive range of smart products under the Click Smart+ brand that takes its provision of smart home solutions to a whole new level. Designed to simplify and streamline connected home products – lighting controls, smart sockets, security cameras and sensors – the Click Smart+ range utilises Zigbee technology. Zigbee certified devices require the Click Smart+ Hub and communicate with each other using a mesh network which creates multiple pathways for the connection of multiple smart home devices without compromising signal and communication range. A key benefit of Zigbee and the new Click Smart+ range is that there is no requirement for a signal repeater, as all the devices have repeaters built in. Scolmore’s Click Smart+ range will assist installers looking to boost their business with an enhanced smart home offer that will deliver a complete connected home experience to householders. The bespoke Click Smart+ App gives householders ultimate control of the smart devices, which can also be operated through voice control in conjunction with a smart speaker.

OVIA ADDS SELF-TEST EMERGENCY PACK TO COMMERCIAL LIGHTING RANGE Ovia has introduced a self-test version of its 4W Universal Emergency Pack. This means there is now a standard and self-test option to cover all emergency installation requirements for the company’s growing range of LED panels and AluPanel downlights. The key benefit of the self-test emergency pack is to prevent the need for ongoing maintenance and the associated labour and costs involved. In the event of mains fail it will provide emergency lighting for three hours at a lower light. This fulfils the minimum requirement of the BS5266 standard that applies to emergency lighting. The self-test pack will check the emergency light fitting automatically to ensure that the battery and lamp are fully operational. If a problem is detected by the self-test function, the system will display a visual warning via the green/red indicator LED. Both the standard and the self-test options are compatible with the following Ovia light fittings – Jura, Inceptor Slate, Inceptor Slate Backlit, Inceptor Skylar UGR16, Inceptor Trofa and AluPanel.
