SPONSORS INSTALLATION NEWS Five Star Lighting from Luceco in Cyprus L
uceco has recently supplied luminaires to the Merit Royal Hotel in Cyprus. Overlooking its own private beachfront on Zephyrus Cove, the 5 star Hotel nestles beside the
Mediterranean Sea in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Such a luxurious 5 star setting required lighting to suit, Luceco supplied a range of luminaires including Carbon and LuxBand installed throughout the accommodation suites and ballrooms. LuxBand LED Strip is available in low or high output offering
ambient and functional light for many applications including hotel and leisure as at the Merit Royal. Options include 3000 or 4000K true white or RCB for visual colour displays with dim, fade, flash, and strobe settings. Supplied in 5 meter lengths with cut points at every 100mm and 3M self-adhesive backing, surface, recessed and corner aluminium profiles with opal diffusers are also available. Kitchens and car parking facilities were also supplied with Luceco fixtures including linear IP65 rated Climate.
Designed for surface mount applications in industrial environments, Climate Non-Corrosive features high power LED chips providing increased efficacy. A polycarbonate constructed body and opal diffuser offers strength and refined appearance whilst delivering a low glare illumination. Plug and play connected drivers plus no requirement for gear tray removal ensures a quick and easy installation. The BG Evolve range of decorative switches and sockets were also installed at the Merit Royal Hotel. Designed with a slim, screwless profile, Evolve is a new generation of contemporary wiring devices, available in the latest colours and finishes for modern interiors. Innovations include devices with 30W TYPE-C USB Fast Charging capability, Wi-Fi Extender sockets to boost signal around your environment, and contemporary slimline Touch Dimmers.
www.luceco.com LITE Create Stunning Lighting Scheme for Scotland’s Historic Stirling Old Bridge S
tirling Old Bridge, located on the River Forth, is one of the most important crossing points in Scotland. The present Stirling Bridge was built around the 1500s,
yet this historic site has played host to many important moments
in history, including the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297 and the Jacobite Rising of 1745. One of the few and best medieval masonry arch bridges in Scotland, Stirling Old Bridge is one of the most critical river crossings in Scotland and acted as the main crossing point of the River Forth until the early 1800s, dubbed a ‘gateway to the Highlands’.
Electrical Contractors and Installers Forth Electrical Services (FES) appointed LITE to create a new, dynamic, colour-changing design for the lighting on the bridge. LITE provided initial designs and plans and supplied the light fixtures, recommending several solutions from their market-leading portfolio of lighting brands. LITE also carried out onsite trials with members of Historic Environments Scotland (HES) and local architects in attendance, to ensure the locations of fixtures and lighting levels were correctly and sympathetically placed. The river in this section has a history of flooding, therefore the ground-mounted fittings were required to be IP68 and the main floodlighting was mounted onto columns.

National Ventilation Adds dMEV Range to Ventilation Offering for New Build ResidentialBridge
N
ational Ventilation, a leading UK-based ventilation manufacturer and distributor, has extended its range of ventilation products for new build residential with the launch
of its Monsoon decentralised Mechanical Extract Ventilation (dMEV) 100 range. Designed to be a perfect fit for kitchens, utility rooms and bathrooms, the Monsoon dMEV 100 range of fans offers a sleek design and near silent operation as low as 13dB(A), making them the ideal choice for self-builders and small developers. With best-in-class efficiencies as low as 0.12 SFP, the Monsoon
dMEV 100 range incorporates a high-pressure axial impeller, with a switched live connection or humidistat to control the boost speed. The integral humidistat option provides ambient response logic that is fully adjustable between 40-90% relative humidity, with the fan increasing its speed proportionally as humidity increases. The Monsoon dMEV 100 also features fully adjustable airflow up to
30l/s on trickle and 35 l/s on boost, adjustable in 1l/s increments for easy installation and commissioning. In addition, its integrated UKAS calibrated airflow sensor, showing airflow and system pressure, means you can be confident that the Monsoon dMEV 100 will work as intended. “The new Monsoon dMEV 100 is quiet yet versatile and has best-
in-class specific fan powers making it the ideal option for developers who need to build homes with low carbon footprints and good indoor air quality,” said Robin Francis, Managing Director at National Ventilation. “It’s also very versatile with multiple siting options, an integral humidistat option, and fully adjustable fan speed which all add up to a great choice for housebuilders and their buyers.” National Ventilation also offers a free whole house ventilation design service for architects, developers and builders with developments of 100 plots or less. The service provides a full

The Strebel has achieved full listing of their S-ASX-LQ, LP and VP ranges of commercial air source heat pumps on the Energy Networks Association heat pump database. The listing includes 16 models, both high and standard temperature, with outputs from 55kW to 100kW utilising both soft start scroll compressors, inverter

compressors and both R410A and R454B refrigerants. The listings enable end users and consultants to select any of these models with the confidence that they have been independently tested by a third party to ensure safe and secure connection to the grid with no risk of harmonics or flicker emission disruption. With the proliferation of air source heat pump installations it is becoming increasingly pertinent for end-users to check connection compliancy with the national grid. There are a number of technical and legal requirements in the UK which are pertinent and must be observed. As a starting point it is necessary to register the installed device, whether it be a PV array, EV charger or heat pump installation, with the local Distribution Network Operator. Aside from the ability for the NDO to update the local energy map and, by definition, to ensure safe and continuous load balancing it is also critical that the connected devices have been emission tested to ensure that their operation does not disrupt the smooth operation of the grid.
The most common emissions that can cause electrical disturbances with power supplies are known as Harmonic

Current Emissions and are broadly referred to as Harmonics and Flicker. Harmonics are distortions of the normal electrical current waveform and are commonly caused by devices whose impedance continuously varies during operation and can result in wiring overheats and the possibility of wire burns or smoking. Flickers are the fluctuating current and voltages that cause electrical power supply disturbances. In order to minimise voltage distortion it’s important to keep low harmonic current emissions. The Energy Networks Association maintains an on-line database
of Heat Pumps, at

The team created an ideal solution to illuminate this historic monument. The proposal included lighting the four main semi- circular arches of the bridge from new column-mounted fittings, re-using the existing locations of ground-mounted fixtures, and installing up lighters on both the left and right-hand sides of the riverbank. Power was available on either side of the river, but LITE installed new ducting and cabling for the required locations. Scot Baxter, Project Manager from FES, said: “LITE are a trusted partner who has done incredible work with Historic Environments Scotland in the past, therefore we knew that they were a reliable company to work on this project. They provided an innovative design solution and the kit and fixtures needed, supporting our installation from the get-go and ensuring we had everything we needed and that all was to plan. The effect of the lighting is truly striking and enchanting, and we could not be happier with the result.”
