Republic of Ireland becomes member of ETIM International F
rom 1 January 2025, manufacturers, wholesalers and merchants operating in
the Republic of Ireland in the electrotechnical, building materials, HVAC and plumbing sectors will benefit from support on the ETIM data standard as Ireland becomes a member of ETIM International. Reflecting this change, ETIM UK is changing its
name to ETIM UK and Ireland Limited. The ETIM product data classification standard has been in use across Europe for over 30 years and, more recently, has expanded to North America and Australia/New Zealand making it a truly global standard. Companies that have adopted the standard can exchange product data with greater ease along their supply chains in multiple languages, improving efficiency and reducing errors. The open-source standard is managed by a central, not-for-profit, organisation based in the Netherlands, ETIM International. Margaret Fitzsimons (pictured), CEO at the EDA, and a member of the ETIM International
Board said: “The role of ETIM UK and Ireland, along with the other 18 country members of ETIM International, is to promote and support the adoption of this long-established, common data standard by manufacturers and merchant businesses.

B.E.G. light up buildings with motion B.E.G. has launched a new minimalist outdoor motion detector for building facades.
T
he German manufacturer will launch the Aleum range, which can be customised precisely to location, to
the electrical UK market this month. The Aleum range has Bluetooth technology inside, enabling it to be set up accurately and intuitively with the B.E.G. One app. B.E.G. has introduced a new rectangular lens
shape to the design with four integrated PIR sensors, a 180° detection range, ‘creep protection’ so it has no blind spots and also detects people directly underneath it, as well as an adjustable range of up to 16 metres. The detector is electronically and mechanically adjustable and is controllable via Bluetooth using the app. Paul Jones, sales director of UK & Ireland at
B.E.G, said the two new Aleum models offer ‘convenient, automatic lighting and security in outdoor areas of buildings’. The devices are available in two versions including a white

Aleum with a light lens and a dark model with an anthracite grey housing and dark lens. In addition to a neutral white light strip, there is a choice of eight selectable spectral ‘Glow’ colours for illumination. Jones said: “For almost five decades, B.E.G. sensors have stood for convenience, security and energy savings. Anyone who decides in favour of a B.E.G. outdoor motion detector receives a piece of sophisticated engineering. “Lovers of minimalist architecture require
stylish designer devices for building facades and B.E.G. fulfils this wish with the new Aleum outdoor motion detector. The design language is timelessly clear; like two cubes standing on top of each other. At the same time, the high quality B.E.G. Bluetooth technology allows the end user to set the sensor as they wish. “The Aleum motion detectors are iconic, and not just because of their purist design.
Recolight announces essential Lighting LCA training event
R
ecolight has announced a new one-day, face- to-face training workshop focused on lighting
industry LCAs and EPDs. Taking place in London on 19 March, the workshop will
provide hands-on guidance for lighting manufacturers in a roundtable environment with a maximum of 12 delegates, giving the opportunity for full interaction, feedback, and questions for each topic. The workshop is intended to equip participants with the
knowledge and tools needed to understand LCAs and EPDs for lighting products, the timescales, data requirements, and how best to use product families to minimise costs. The importance of product specific rules, and the role of the luminaire specific PSR-0014 will be covered in detail. There will be opportunities to see online LCA preparation in action, and will include case studies of luminaire LCA data, and use of a luminaire specific EPD creation tool. With an increasing number of lighting producers announcing that they have made LCAs and EPDs available, those that don’t act risk being left behind.

Light accent lighting can be set to effectively emphasise the motion detector on the facade if desired. “With Aleum, electronic adjustment is not
just reserved for the electrical engineer as the user can also freely change the options. For example, the outdoor motion detector can be set to a ‘party’ mode, for example, to prevent presence dependent switching on and off during meetings.”
