Osram’s SubstiTUBE LED light

Osram has recently launched a direct LED retrofit, an easy to use LED tube that replaces the 36 watt T8 fluorescent tube.

While most T8 LED retrofit options do not have a shock protection system in compliance with IEC safety regulations, OSRAM’s SubstiTUBE has an in line fuse called the ‘SubstiTUBE Start’ which is in the shape of a starter. The ‘SubstiTUBE Starter’ replaces the existing starter which ensures that there is no risk of the ends of the tube becoming live leading to electric shock when installing the LED tube.Osram LED Lighting - Substitube replacement fluorescent tubes

The SubstiTUBE offers energy savings up to 50% and can be generally used for lighting applications where little or no maintenance is required. For example, warehouses, supply rooms, corridors, stairways, car parks and walk ways.

These tubes have a long average life of 50,000 hours and are ideal for applications where maintenance costs are exorbitant. The combination of low maintenance costs and the energy saving potential means you will achieve a payback of less than two years in many applications.

Features:

  • VDE – Certified security
  • Genuine retrofit solution for simple installation – no rewiring required!
  • Modern room lighting
  • Instant On lighting – full output with any warm up time
  • Energy savings of up to 50%
  • Low maintenance thanks to an average lifespan of 50 000 hours
  • Eco-friendly product, mecury free

Spend less time up the ladder with Hager Motion Detectors

Created for the automatic control of lighting in both the residential and private/public industry sectors. They automatically switch on lighting when movement is detected and turn off the circuit after the preset duration. Bringing comfort and enhanced security for exterior accesses to residential homes and garages, they also provide significant savings in lighting power consumption by illuminating only when neccessary. With an IP55 rating, they can be effectively used in both interior and exterior applications.

Technically engineered for optimum performance and total control

Hager innovation delivers precision motion detectors that suit all installations:

  • Click to purchase at Ideal Online now

    Available in 2 models (comfort & evolution) and three colours (white, titanium grey and charcol grey)

  • Automatic control for residential & business premises
  • Auto return in the event of disruption to electrical supply
  • Integrated gasket within mounting plate ensures IP55 rating
  • Compression pivot to allow ceiling or wall mounting (90°/-30°)
  • Corner moutning accessories available
  • Multiple & variable detection zones via remote control
  • Infrared remote does away with wiring to a switch position
  • ‘Lux Learn’ function takes the guess work of ambient lighting conditions

The simplicity of Remote Control

Hager’s motion detectors have been developed and engineered with the ultimate innovation – a remote control, which can be used by both the installer and the home owner. The job can be completed faster by adjusting the settings via remote control and setting the detectors parameters – such as time, lux and sensitivity. Then, by handing the remote to the home owner, you provide them with a new benchmark in lighting control, allowing them to manage their security and safety at their convenience.

Installer Features

The timer can be set to pulse, or set from 5 sec up to 30 min with the remote control Lux levels can be set between 5 and 100 lux
The evolution line of motion detectors have the convenience of activating or de-activating either the frontal or downward lens With the press of this button, the detector will learn the lux level at that given point in time
Locks the settings buttons while still maintaining the EASY homeowner settings The sensitivity is adjusted from 20% – 100%, according to the amount of movement detected
Allows the installer to conduct sensor ‘pick up’ test. Any movement within the dectection zone will trigger the detector This feature registers any movement, a particular benefit when the load has any failure

Home Owner Features

Return to programmed settings with a push of this button Holiday mode provides easy simulation of presence while out
Manipulate your surroundings easily with the on/off controls Manipulate your surroundings easily with the on/off controls

Reduce Nusiance Tripping events with ABB RCD’s

Filed under: Product launch — Tags: , , — admin @ 8:47 am

Reports of ‘nuisance tripping’ of electronic residual current devices when used on lighting circuits containing electronic ballasts and similar devices have grown in recent times.

Lighting manufacturers are commonly using new electronic ballasts in fluorescent light fittings and there are increasing concerns being raised over the issue of nuisance tripping.

ABB has been conducting extensive testing in Europe of the phenomenon caused by electronic ballasts and they have utilised this research to identify the root cause of many of these so-called nuisance trip events.

Many electronic ballasts and similar devices emit a high frequency back into the protection circuit as well as some leakage earth currents with characteristics other than a pure sine wave. Whilst these characteristics may be within the requirements of the particular product standard for ballasts, they can interfere with the sensitive operation and protection function of residual current devices.

RCD’s are designed to be very sensitive due to their essential requirements to offer safety for people and property. When devices trip due to abnormal conditions, often the RCD has seen a potential fault condition and acted accordingly.

By identifying the particular cause of the lighting ballast problem through this research program, ABB has been able to ensure that electronic RCD products (ie DS271 models) can provide immunity to the high frequencies possibly coming from lighting ballasts whilst still maintaining the strict characteristics of personal and property protection required by Australian and International standards.

ABB also produce specific RCD products designed for the additional protection requirements required where non-sinusoidal earth faults can be present due to the load conditions (Type A and Type B RCD’s)
