Announcement Megaman strengthens its sales team
MEGAMAN, the energy efficient lighting manufacturer, has announced the promotion of Micaela Abbott to sales director. This move is testament to her integral role within the company and her valuable experience. It also comes at the same time as several new appointments that will strengthen the existing sales team even further.
M
icaela has had an extensive and positive impact in her 19 years with Megaman in a number of
roles including business development manager, national accounts manager and the most recent: national sales manager. Micaela has also overseen key product developments at Megaman, most notably the successful launch of the Performa and Essentials fixture ranges. As the new sales director, Micaela will be supported by Megaman’s knowledgeable team of business development managers. This includes the three newest members of the team: Lee Ruff, who will look after Wales and the West Midlands, Jordan Charran the South West and Ben Pickup who will be responsible for the North of England. All three have significant experience in the
lighting sector and bring with them a wealth of knowledge and market insights.
Micaela commented: “I am incredibly proud to take this next step with Megaman at a time when our product portfolio has been streamlined and our sales team, buoyed with new recruits, will continue to support both new and existing customers around the UK with the highest levels of support and service.
“The Performa and Essentials ranges provide a reliable and competitive selection of products that have been designed specifically to meet both wholesalers’ and contractors’ needs. The ranges have been met with such a positive response already, the team and I are looking forward to raising further awareness.”

Installation News B.E.G. delivers daylight-dependent lighting solution
Lighting controls specialist B.E.G. has implemented its DALI-SYS daylight- dependent lighting control into a new 10,000 sq m production facility in Portugal.
T
he manufacturer completed the project for Simplastic - a thermoplastic component supplier whose products are used in such companies as French cookware brand Tefal. The Portuguese firm built a new production facility with large production halls and needed an automatic lighting control that would help them save on energy costs.
Simplastic required a lighting control solution that would enable them to have different brightness values depending on the area. In the injection moulding and inspection area, for example, higher brightness values were needed than in the assembly section. In the storage area, however, a lower brightness value could be used. Therefore, it was clear to Simplastic that a control system with DALI occupancy detectors would be the best option.
Simplastic has four large zones in the production hall, which are divided into further areas. Each sub-area and the associated groups can be controlled manually by staff and also centrally (via

The components are addressable and operate according to the principle of distributed intelligence where DALI wiring is independent of group formation. This meant that changes could be made quickly and easily without rewiring. With B.E.G. DALI- SYS, rooms, areas or even the entire building could be controlled with standard push-buttons or via PC/ smartphone.
PC and push-button). In addition, a night mode is required in which some luminaires are switched on at 20 per cent. In order to be able to centrally override devices, several devices have to be networked which was made possible thanks to the corresponding lighting control system. The B.E.G. DALI-SYS solution is a modular, networkable system that can be scaled as required.
Paul Jones, sales director of UK & Ireland at B.E.G said: “B.E.G. has decades of experience in daylight-dependent lighting control. With daylight- dependent control or constant lighting control, the benefit of natural daylight is maximised. For optimum lighting conditions, only as much artificial light is switched on as is needed to achieve the desired brightness level. If the proportion of natural daylight changes, the proportion of artificial light also changes automatically. This saves energy in addition to the presence-dependent control and was the ideal system for Simplastic.”
