Further customisation is then possible through the various bezel options that allow the lamp to complement or contrast with a room’s décor or colourways. The bezels come in a choice of stylish finishes from popular white and matt black to chrome, polished chrome and brass. These permutations of wattage, colour temperature and bezel choice make SpektroLED, a genuine 40-in-1 solution. For the wholesaler it’s all about offering choice without the penalty of stocking a vast array of product options. It makes sense both from a lighting point of view and commercial point of view, a win-win if you like for installer and trade counter.


Getting smarter


With an eye on the smart home of the future, the Smart section of the catalogue has been expanded to 16 pages to include several new arrivals. The latest additions to the Smart range include LED lamps, sensors and a security camera, all controllable via the ‘Smartknight’ app, which is available to download for free from Google Play and the Apple App Store. For example, the plug and play indoor security camera offers a number of useful features including a built-in 2-way audio system that enables the user to see, hear and converse with people in shot. There is the facility for an on- board SD card for data storage or alternatively Cloud recording (with a subscription).


domestic lighting offerings both showing significant increases in styles, types and performance. The lighting line up for the bathroom is all about unlocking the true design potential of a space that is often overlooked and under-resourced when it comes to illumination. LED wall lights, shaver lights, over-mirror lights, mirrors and downlights/recessed wall lights all now provide the opportunity to reimagine how the modern bathroom might look and feel.


Stylish additions


Good design and good looks are never far behind technology and the 2022 edition showcases updates to the popular Knightsbridge screwless switches and sockets portfolio, where Anthracite and Smoked Bronze finishes join the other contemporary styles. Functionality has also been increased with the introduction of a number of modular screwless frames and faceplates including multimedia combination faceplates that feature USB FASTCHARGE A+C. These are capable of delivering 0-50% charge in under 30 minutes with compatible phones. For more modest installations there’s even a half-size multimedia combination faceplate. Lighting products across the board have been refreshed, with the bathroom and interior

Flex-cut For creative or dramatic lighting schemes there’s details of a new service available for wholesalers and the trade. Called Flex-cut, it will allow customers to make the most of LED Flex (LED strip lighting) products by allowing them to order LED Flex tailored to their particular specifications. The online service is simple to use and incorporates an easy 6-step guide to create exactly what you need: from choosing IP rating and colours to selecting the exact desired cable, flex strip lengths and add-on accessories. When finished, the user can review their full order before confirming the purchase.


Flex-cut incorporates everything that is good about LED Flex but removes the wastage typically associated with buying standard


lengths. Now customers can make the most of the product’s versatility to create stunning ambient lighting effects both in and outside the home or office. A choice of remotes and controllers provide an extensive range of dimming and colour options while for the technology lovers the Smart LEDWIFI controller, which works via the SmartKnight app, allows scene control, geo-fencing and other convenient ways to control any LED Flex application.


Not making an impact


And while the 2022 catalogue might be the biggest and best yet, its impact on the environment will be the smallest it’s ever made. In line with its ‘Committed to a Brighter Future’ initiative, Knightsbridge has printed its 2022 catalogue using PEFC-accredited paper, which has been carbon balanced, a scheme pioneered by the World Land Trust. In short, carbon emissions from paper production are offset by the preservation of ecologically important forests, continuing the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
