DIALIGHT LAUNCHES LED BULKHEAD LIGHT
DIALIGHT GROUP, leader in industrial LED lighting innovation, has launched its new Vigilant industrial LED Bulkhead light. The rugged new light is the latest addition to Dialight’s already successful bulkhead range, offering significant improvement to product performance whilst retaining the reliability and versatility that have made their existing ranges so popular. Constructed in marine grade aluminium, the CE Vigilant Bulkhead has an impact rating of K10 (ie, protected from a 5kg object falling 40cms) with a IP66/67 ingress rating with an ambient temperature range from -40°C to +65°C, ensuring ‘fit and forget’ dependable performance in even the most challenging environments.
The new luminaire is designed for
both retrofit and new applications with several mounting options, two optical patterns and battery backup variants. The Vigilant Bulkhead delivers up to 150 lumens per watt, offering a 2:1 replacement
convenience for the homeowner. Both accessories are permanently fitted to both batten and 6” pendant and once wired simply clip into place covering the terminals. Any paint which would normally come in contact with the live terminals or any accidental contact by the decorator is safely protected with the cover.
“Health and safety issues when decorating new and refurbished properties have grown in recent years. To overcome this, lighting circuits should be disconnected to avoid any risk of electrocution from
contact between the uncovered terminals in the batten and the person painting the surface,” said Nico van der Merwe, VP of Home & Distribution at Schneider Electric. The new accessories make it ideal

HYLEC-APL, the specialist supplier of electrical components and enclosures, has launched its new Debox SM40, claimed to be the smallest four-pole junction box available on the market, specifically designed to fit inside the smaller 40mm ceiling apertures of today’s ranges of ceiling downlights. Measuring only 80mm wide x 35mm deep and 25mm high – 50 percent smaller than the Debox S by cubic volume – Debox SM40 is the newest addition to Hylec’s very successful Debox family of in-line junction boxes. Debox SM40 saves electrical contractors time during installations, particularly on lighting projects. Despite its small size, the Debox SM40 offers generous cable management space internally and can be wired in seconds. Using Debox SM40 simply requires the installer to insert the cables into the four-pole terminal block and tighten the terminal screws, lower the tool-less cable clamps and secure the lid with the supplied locking clip.

It enables the decorator to paint neatly around the fitting and when the outer cover is screwed back in place provides a neat painted edge, thus avoiding paint on the outside visible cover. To access the terminals, the inner cover can be unclipped using the locking tab but ensures with its locking method that it cannot be accidentally removed. The decorator cap remains in place, so all future decorating is consistent. n For more information, please visit:
