are available to ensure LED lighting is maintained in transient areas such as corridors and stairwells, public zones and security places during an emergency or power outage. Some of these emergency ready pack
upgrade kits require rewiring so that there is a hard-wire connection into the LED tray. However, this can be time-consuming. Kosnic’s patented ‘plug and play’ product can be installed in seconds without hard-wiring. A straight replacement for traditional CFL DD lamps, the retrofit LED DD emergency-ready lamp won ‘Innovative Lighting Product of the Year (Lamps and Luminaires)’ at the Electrical Industry Awards 2015. Its 12W and 18W version is also available with a built-in microwave motion sensor, which can adjust the light levels according to ambient light, motion detection and illumination time. This is also compatible with the emergency module, which will power the lamp for over three hours at a reduced output during a power cut. Internal and external plug-in emergency modules that support emergency lighting in other LED lamps and luminaires are also available to ensure compliance with building regulations.
Lighting control With the new LED lighting technology, no one needs to remember to turn off the lights. Occupancy sensors detect if a room or area is in use and can turn off lights after occupants leave. Areas such as corridors, stairwells, storerooms, transit areas and utility rooms benefit from lighting with occupancy

sensors. Sensors can also control areas within a room – useful in open plan offices or storage space. Kosnic’s Twin Bar Panel with PIR sensor allows the programming of the sensor to control the panel’s lighting output. It is compatible with the emergency module and has a life estimate of 40,000 hours. This sensor can be programmed for both occupancy and natural light/LUX detection so that it causes the panel to turn off when the appropriate level of natural light is sensed. The Twin Bar Panel, when fitted with a Dimmable LED Driver, has the ability to reduce the light output, combined with the LUX level sensor, it can dim or illuminate to create a uniform level of light throughout the day. As discussed, there are a number of LED
products now on the market to replace traditional lighting and provide a more energy-efficient and cost-effective solution, whatever the application. And, with the lifetime of LED products, and
therefore manufacturer warranty, having increased significantly, there’s no better time to encourage your customers to switch to LED.

Many LED lamps can be retrofitted into an existing luminaire without the need for
rewiring. The most common example is the replacement for the Halogen GU10 lamp.

Application in focus: Lighting a leisure facility
lAim for 300lx – This is the appropriate light level for a gym, as recommended in the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Sports Lighting Guide SLL LG4
lCreate minimum contrast between luminaire and ceiling colour
– Incorporate uplighters to minimise contrast, which will ensure the area feels light, airy and clean for visitors so they can concentrate on their workout without distraction
lEnsure low surface luminance – This reduces glare for those working out on their backs and looking up at the ceiling, while also avoiding bright reflections on gym equipment control panels
lRecommended product: Kosnic 70W LED Batten
– Superior anti-glare characteristics – Outer casing acts as a diffuser to evenly spread and soften light
– Long operational life of 30,000 hours – Easy to install, low maintenance
