A claimed first in fire-certified LEDs
Now available from the exclusive UK channel partner for online sales of the product, Lamp Shop Online, is the Brite Source Pyropanel, reportedly the first certified 30-minute fire-resistant LED light panel available in the UK. The EU patent pending Pyropanel ‘fire- safe’ LED light panel is tested and certified to BS476-22 to provide 30 minutes’ certified fire-resistance. Lamp Shop Online said: “Pyropanel establishes an important new performance benchmark for LED light panel specifications in new buildings and renovation works, providing 30 minutes’ certified fire safety, plus the significant economic, environmental, and health benefits associated with premium quality LED light panels.”
Combining low glare, ‘no flicker’, ‘no
UV’, and ‘no IR’ light characteristics within an ‘economic, eco-friendly, fire-safe construction’, Pyropanel is ‘ideally suited’ to installation within suspended ceilings. “Historically, UK building operators have not been able to buy LED light panels certified fire-safe for applications where Building Regulations require a fire-
rated ceiling,” explained Pete Wiseman, head of Business Development at Lamp Shop Online. “Pyropanel provides a certified solution that allows users to achieve their goals for light quality, carbon reduction, and energy saving, without compromising their fire-safety compliance.”
Galvanising use of
technology
Twenty-six of ‘the most digitally advanced’ NHS Trusts have been invited by NHS England to apply for a ‘£100 m+ funding pot’ to ‘become centres of global digital excellence and drive forward better use of tech- nology in health’.
In a bid to win up to £10 m each to invest in digital infrastructure and spe- cialist training, the 26 acute Trusts will need to ‘demonstrate their potential to become world leaders in health infor- matics’. Between 10 and 16 will be selected to become ‘centres of global digital excellence’, and, once estab- lished, will ‘lead the way for the entire system to move faster in getting better information technology on the ground’. NHS England will ‘partner’ the Trusts selected. The centres will be announced at this month’s NHS Health and Care Innovation Expo event in Manchester, where IT expert, Professor Bob Wachter, will outline recommendations ‘to gal- vanise use of technology in the NHS’.
