IN FOCUS Luceco’s complete lighting solutions package at Springpack! L
uceco has supplied a comprehensive lighting solution to Springpack, an eco-friendly packaging provider who has recently completed a state-of-the-art
warehouse relocation. The new 90,000² ft facility is located on a 6 acre site in Worcester providing efficient packaging solutions with commitment to sustainability and innovation. Such an environmentally focused business required cost effective energy efficient lighting, Luceco supplied a host of luminaires including over 250 Elara Bays illuminating the warehouse alongside recessed modular LuxPanels on mezzanine floors where ceiling grids were available and linear IP65 rated Climate Extra luminaires. Elara is an LED low bay with a fastfix gear tray and an IK10 high-impact resistant steel body. With polycarbonate lenses, Elara Bay is suitable for surface, trunking, or suspended mount installation, offering a truly flexible solution for warehousing and industrial settings. Contemporary runs of Contour suspended linear luminaires along with Platinum Mini, Element and Platinum Surface downlights were also installed creating beautifully lit environments whilst offering occupant friendly and practical lighting in office and circulation spaces. The Contour lighting system consists of connectable modules that can be surface mounted, suspended or recessed forming contemporary, decorative, and highly effective illumination. With the emphasis on Springpack’s workplace well-being ethics, Luceco’s Leren lighting system was installed in the state of the art gym facility offering a modern, flexible environment for employees to work out as well as relax in breakout spaces. Leren offers both upward and downward light distribution, particularly where there are high or open ceiling voids to illuminate. Supplied complete with adjustable wire suspensions, Leren benefits from through-wiring, including electrical connectors as standard, to assist with both standalone and continuous run installations. Accessories available include ceiling mount electrical connection rose and blanking modules in 600, 900, 1,200 and 1,500-mm lengths. Circulation areas were illuminated with a range of luminaires including Celeste, a circular decorative bulkhead style fitting, with a direct / indirect light distribution offering up to 100,000 hours working life, and Contour Wall was installed in stairwells. The Luceco Contour Wall series extends the Contour linear lighting family’s versatility by including a wall-mounted luminaire with 70% downlight and
30% upward wall washing effect. The Opal and Microprism optical options meet many commercial requirements along with an efficacy up to 124Llm/cW. The lighting installation was carried out by Staffordshire Mechanical Solutions. Jon Rowley, Midlands Regional Manager said “this was a great project to work on allowing us to provide a multifaceted lighting solution for an industrial space whilst still allowing room for flair and creativity in the office and circulation areas. Elara Bay was selected for the warehouse due to its superior optical performance. We needed to ensure 250 Lux on the floor, and still achieve exceptional vertical illuminance on the rack face, hence the importance of installing a luminaire with strong optical performance ideal for this application.”

Samsung Climate Solutions to Revolutionise Home Heating with new EHS Mono heat pump featuring R290
F
uture-focused technology meets sophisticated design in Samsung’s new EHS Mono R290 heat pump series. London, 20th November 2023 – Samsung Electronics Air
Conditioner Europe B.V. (SEACE) announces the official UK launch of its pioneering product, the EHS Mono R290 heat pump. Unveiled earlier this year at InstallerSHOW in the NEC, Birmingham, the EHS Mono R290 offers cutting-edge technology that enhances comfort and has a low Global Warming Potential (GWP). Heating with future-proof innovation Several key features make the EHS Mono R290 a future-proof choice for homeowners. It has a remarkably low Global Warming
Potential (GWP) of 3 (compared to the GWP of other refrigerant technologies such as R32 (675)). It provides a consistent supply of high hot water temperature, reaching up to 75 °C , making the range ideal for renovations and retrofits Moreover, the EHS Mono R290 boasts an enlarged integral
plate heat exchanger capable of transferring more heat at once compared to a conventional outdoor unit, thanks to a heat transfer area of up to 39% larger . It boasts a reliable heating performance, enabling it to deliver a 100% heating performance in temperatures as low as -10°C . It also enables the production of Domestic Hot Water (DHW) at 70°C when the outdoor temperature is -10 to 43°C ambient temperature without using the booster heater, thus saving energy while producing DHW on hot summer days. Joe Raftery, Heating Product Manager
in the UK for Samsung Climate Solutions says, “We are particularly pleased to be launching this product which represents huge technological achievements in product design. This product demonstrates once again that Samsung has catered to the expectations of the modern consumer by offering them more flexibility in the low carbon heat sources available to them. The internal components of the unit have been adapted when compared to a standard R32 monobloc heat pump to support the separation of the R290 refrigerant and the rest of the system. Designed to work seamlessly with R290, homeowners and installers alike will appreciate the ease of operation of this unit.” Seamless Setup and aesthetic appeal The EHS Mono outdoor unit is designed for simple installation, service and maintenance. The internal

components of the heat pump can be accessed through the side panel, which can be removed by simply loosening three screws. This results in significant time and effort saving during the installation, maintenance and servicing procedures. Styled in a dark grey color which complements the current design trend for modern building exteriors, the EHS Mono R290 adds elegance to a multitude of outdoor facades, enhancing everything from retrofit projects to modern new build homes. The product is available in a broad range of capacities for varying requirements – 5, 8, 12, and 16-kW. All the units are single fan, but notably, the 5- and 8-kW units are only 850mm in height. Optimized energy control and timely insights The new range of heat pumps can also be connected to SmartThings Energy to maximize savings and optimize energy usage. One of the largest open ecosystems of connected devices worldwide, Samsung’s SmartThings Energy is compatible with voice assistants like Bixby, Google Home and Amazon Alexa and a wide range of devices. It offers the ultimate home energy management systems, as well as real energy savings through rich insights, energy saving automations, and support for users to move towards a net zero home. The EHS Mono R290 is also compatible with the EHS Cloud Service
and can be integrated with SmartThings Energy, which provides professionals with a wealth of technical data and insights, enabling remote monitoring of the unit as well as energy saving automation . From automatic reports to malfunction types, and status checks to energy consumption information, the EHS Cloud Service allows professionals to make a pre-diagnosis of potential issues, so they may carry the necessary parts and equipment when visiting the user’s home. It also allows for solving minor issues remotely. The EHS Mono R290 will be available from the end of November
in a broad range of capacities to suit the varying needs of homeowners across the UK.
