Light Africa local

Three different types of project lighting High-bay lights Large indoor buildings that cover a lot of vertical and horizontal space call for high-bay light fixtures. Spaces such as gymnasiums, warehouses, large department stores, factories and manufacturing facilities are all examples of places that require powerful lighting that provides the appropriate foot-candle levels to ad equately illuminate. Defined as a light intended for use in spaces where the ceiling height ranges from6-12m from the floor, high-bay fixtures hang from the ceiling on hooks, chains and pendants, but they can also be fixed directly to the ceiling itself. Track lights No project lighting setup in spaces like galleries, art studios or boutique shops is complete without track lighting. These ceiling lights with the ability to swivel and pivot in different directions enable the user to highlight specific focal points. An aesthetically pleas ing blend of industrial design and elegance, the light fixture on a track light attaches to a continuous track of electrical conductors. Track lights are typically posi tioned on a straight track that mounts directly to the ceiling. This linear style is the easiest to install and works particularly well in narrow spaces. Track lights can also be found in a curved or custom-design con figuration, allowing for increased flexibility. Panel lights LED panel lighting found in commercial applications serves as a modern replacement for conventional fluo rescent ceiling lights. They’re designed to be mounted on recessed ceilings or suspended grid ceilings and are constructed to allow for better illumination conditions. Homes, offices, retail spaces, hotel lobbies, restaurants, hospitals and supermarkets all benefit from this innova tive and energy-efficient fixture that delivers a flawless flood of illumination without visible bulbs and hot spots. With over 30 years of experience in exterior lighting, Regent Lighting incorporate surge protection on all ex ternal luminaires to protect the electronics and LEDs from power surges and voltage spikes. The surge ar restor is a sacrificial device that is easily replaced and ensures long-term performance of the luminaire. I t is here …Regent Lighting has designed, developed, and manufactured its new Mini Lumina to illuminate your way on the African Continent. The Mini Lumina will be the newest addition to the company’s locally manufactured amenity contempo rary side entry range particularly suited for outdoor ap plications such as Roadways (A4 and B class), parking areas, parks and gardens, residential areas, squares and plazas. The fitting is designed to operate at 28 W-4500 lm/56 W-8893 lm. The fitting features an energy efficient Samsung 30-30 high powered LED, mounted onto an aluminium circuit board to ensure efficient thermal transfer to the cast aluminium housing. It can be post mounted or wall mounted. The spigot entry is a 42 mm diameter with a 130 mm depth. Recom mended mounting height 4 m to 9 m. Regent Lighting’s vast range of asymmetrical lens es enable the luminaire to be individually modified to specific lighting requirements, this enables the light ing solution to be optimised in terms of road width, mounting height, boom length and distance between poles. The incorporation of lighting controls and daylight switching plays a vital part with the increasing need to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. By offering various energy saving and control options like photocells, motion sensors, step dimming, and Blue tooth control, one can optimise the lumen output for specific class of roads and reduce volumes. Also, by selecting the correct asymmetrical lenses, one can dramatically reduce the number of luminaires required to achieve the desired result.

The unit is connected in series with the LED driver, and it can protect the driver up to 10 kV. The surge protector has an LED indicator so it’s easy to determine if it needs to be replaced and due to the design, it is quite easy to change, which is a major advantage when it comes to maintenance. ‘Light Africa local’ to Regent means safety, secu rity and comfort to the people of Africa by retaining skills, creating employment and empowering lives. The Lumina Mini; illuminating our way in Africa for decades to come.
