underside of the Bulkhead and can be changed at any time by simply twisting the LED Polar Bulkhead away from its quick, snap, turn, twist mounting plate.
The importance of IP and IK Ratings The Polar Bulkhead has a high IP Rating of IP64, it guarantees that the Bulkhead will be completely dust tight and protected from water splashes or spray from any angle. Making this lighting option the perfect choice for busy indoor spaces such as corridors in commercial buildings, under cover outside walkways, bathrooms, kitchens and high humidity areas. An IP rating is a way of showing how effective an item is at blocking out
foreign bodies. The IP stands for Ingress Protection and the following numbers refer to the protection an item offers against the intrusion of foreign bodies. For example, IP44 rated light fittings are good for indoor lighting with IP64 being the ideal choice for outdoor lighting. The bulkhead also has a high IK Protection Rating of IK08. This makes it
ideal for public areas, high traffic areas, commercial environments and areas that are prone to vandalism. The IK stands for Impact Protection and ratings are defined as IK and a number from 00 to 10. The IK Ratings are an international numeric classification to indicate the degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment
Case Study
Gavin Phillips, branch manager from Switch Electrical Wholesalers: “We placed a minimum order with TIME LED for the new Polar Bulkhead earlier this year. Our customers have realised the benefit of installing this lighting option and the Polar Bulkhead is now their preferred choice. Our sales have soared and all of our stores now stock this item, our repeat orders have increased to hundreds of units.
against external mechanical impacts. IK08 means that the bulkhead is protected against 5 joules of impact, this is the equivalent of an impact from a 1.7kg mass dropped from 300mm above the impacted surface.
Availability, size and efficiency rating There are two sizes available, the 18W Polar measures 280mm in diameter with an output of 1620 Lumens, and the larger 30W Polar measuring 330mm in diameter with an output of 2700 Lumens. Both sizes have a low- profile measurement of 60mm with a 120° beam angle and come with an attractive white frosted polycarbonate cover. The Polar CCT Bulkheads have an energy efficient rating of A+ and come with a 2-year warranty.
Safety and reliability are key Consumers need to be aware of what they are buying and to make sure they are not falling prey to fake performance claims, we’ve established our in-house testing facility for scoping and quality assuring our LED and other electrical products. We also have a team in China trained by the Lighting Industry Association (LIA), that independently audits and quality assess all of our factories and products. These internal processes are there to go above and beyond the official certification processes, they do not replace them.
Simply snap, turn, twist to expose the colour temperature selection switch
