LIGHTS OVER THE ATRIUM
The three-storey atrium of the Volkiland shopping center in the Zurich Oberand received a new lighting system in November 2020. 298 lights and 47 downlights provide atmospheric lighting that can be quickly and easily adapted to the season or the theme event. A total of 26 GIS electric chain hoists hold the entire construction.

section can be controlled as an independent group unit and lowered for cleaning or replacing defective lights. A D8+ solution, with a second brake to the hoist and eight-fold chain safety, is absolutely necessary for this application, as the individual sectors are After the steel frame had been attached to the electric chain hoists the individual lights could be attached and wired.

When used for holding stationary loads above persons without
a secondary safety component (the D8+ safety classification), the LP2500 in one-fall arrangement lifts what the company with justification calls a ‘proud’ 2.5t. This, they say, is a 25% increase in capacity over the 2000 kg commonly found on the market.
