World first lighting app

tometry regarding optics, by switching these products on and off in the augmented reality environment. This will assist the user to under- stand clearly why optics are so vital when used with LED technology. • It allows the user to zoom in on special features of the products to view finer details; this assists in understanding how the product stands out from others. • It allows the user to take a snapshot of the augmented reality scene, and instantly e-mail the image. The BEKA Schréder App is available for download free of charge at Apple iStore and Google Play Store (search for ‘BEKA Schréder AR’). For the best user experience, devices such as the iPad Pro, iPhone 8 or later, SamsungTablet, Samsung Galaxy S8+ or de- vices with similar specifications are recommended. BEKA Schréder locally develops and manufac- tures LED lighting products, designed and suitable for local conditions. www.beka-schreder.co.za and based on an ambient temperature of 35°C, to ensure safe use at the distribution centre, which operates 24 hours a day.” Precise analysis and defined performance pa- rameters during laboratory testing in the Energy- wise lighting laboratory at Magnet’s KwaZulu-Natal head offices, ensure the highest levels of accuracy in every aspect of lighting, including design and manufacture. The high performance luminaires, which have been developed for easy installation and simple retrofit projects, offer high quality, low glare light, and are available in different distributions, from 30°, 60° to 120°.The customisable range is also available with dimmable functions and is supported by a five year guarantee. The linear LED luminaires are designed to clip easily onto a P2000 channel for a quick and effortless installation. All the installer then needs to do is connect the power supply. The modular design of the fittings facilitates the customisation of length, lumen output and wattage to suit each application. An extruded rail enables easy mounting and replacement of LED boards and an electronic driver, with adjustable output settings, ensures flicker-free operation. www.magnetgroup.co.za

BEKA Schréder has announced the launch of its Augmented Reality (AR) App, the first in the world with street lighting ap- plications. It offers an arsenal of scaled and accurately detailed products in the palm of your hand. BEKA Schréder’s App is the first in the world to use aug-

mented reality to prove the principles of street lighting, by allowing the user to see the difference in photometry relating to optics.The AR App allows users in remote areas to see and interact with BEKA Schréder products, as if they were in front of them, without the need for a physical sample. What the App provides: • It allows the user to augment reality, in real time, by placing scaled models of BEKA Schréder’s products and poles in any environment, indoors and outdoors. • It allows the user to see the difference in pho- Magnet recently completed another energy-saving lighting installation – this time for the new Boxer Superstores distribution centre (DC) which opened in East London towards the end of 2017. “Following the success of Magnet’s light- ing installation for Boxer Superstores in over 80 stores nationwide since 2015, the Magnet team was awarded the contract to design and supply an energy-efficient lighting system for the new 16 000 m 3 Boxer distribution centre in East London,” explains Kaylen Reddy, Magnet’s lighting solutions engineer and MARS product specialist. “Magnet’s locally-manufactured MARS LED lighting system, which ensures maximum energy savings without compromising on lux levels, was selected for this project. “The advanced MARS LED

lighting range is based on Eu- ropean technology and focuses on the principles of ‘Modular, Adaptable, Reconfigurable and Serviceable’ to spell out MARS. This highly efficient lighting system boasts key features that include enhanced aesthet- ics, an L80B10 rating, extended lamp life of over 50 000 hours
