MULTI-PURPOSE LED LOW- AND HIGHBAY LUMINAIRE RANGE BEKA Schréder’s multi-purpose LEDbay range, designed and manufactured in South Africa, is an efficient and energy-saving replacement for traditional HID light sources. Industrial facilities need high-quality lighting to keep workers safe and to create productive working environments. Lighting solutions need to be durable enough to withstand harsh envi- ronmental conditions, such as high temperatures, humidity, and corrosive atmospheres. In addition, they also need to comply with the prescribed illu- mination levels as stipulated by the South African Bureau of Standards. The luminaires should fur- thermore require minimal maintenance and offer high energy savings. The LEDbay range was de- signed as a lighting solution that prioritises these requirements. The LEDbay-midi luminaire is suitable for vari- ous applications, which include logistics centres, warehouses, factories, hangars, gymnasia, service stations, retail areas, and other large open spaces where high-power highbay lighting is required. To provide maximum flexibility, the luminaire is also suitable for lowbay applications. The LEDbay- midi offers various symmetrical and asymmetri- cal optics in order to achieve the highest energy savings and high visual appearance, creating the most economical solution. Various available mounting options make this product suitable for any location with typical installation heights of 4 m to 30 m. Where high power lighting is required, addi- tional savings can be achieved by connecting the LEDbay-midi to occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting sensors. Furthermore, it can be con- nected to a DALI BUS system. The LEDbay-midi offers an optional integrat- ed battery backup system, which is suitable for emergency lighting. Weighing 8 kg, the luminaire can be mounted to any ceiling structure and can replace any existing HID luminaire. Enquiries: +27 (0)11 444 7971
