LIGHTING COURSES FROM THE BHA T he BHA School of Lighting offers the premier online lighting courses acknowledged by pro- fessional bodies throughout southern Africa and in overseas countries as the best, most compre- hensive and most cost effective lighting course. Cre- ated by leading authority on LED lighting technology, Phil Hammond, the BHA School of Lighting offers, amongst others, diploma and masters courses in Illu- mination Engineering. Foundation Lighting Course: 21 days (online) A short introduction to lighting which is the ideal course for new employees in the lighting or built industry Primary Lighting Course: 60 days (online) The course consists of the first seven Modules of the Diploma in Illumination Engineering course. Diploma in Illumination Engineering: 24months (online) This is a Full Diploma in Illumination Engineering course. Scotopic/Mesopic Richness of Light: 5 hours on site tuition This course is for Consulting Electrical Engineers only. The tuition session is conducted at the offices of the consultancy practice. It includes measurement of light, compliance with standards old and new international practice. It also includes ‘how to include this in Relux and avoid over-illumination whilst remaining compli- ant’. Master Diploma in Illumination Engineering: 12 months online and practical project work Enrolees must graduate from the Diploma course first. Photometry – Theory and Practical in Labora- tory: Three days in Cape Town Limited to a maximum of four current Diploma course students or graduates of the Diploma course, at a time. Travel and accommodation costs for the student’s own account.

client’s requirements. This winning combination of performance, design and flex- ibility enables the Ellega range to illuminate streets, residential areas, parks, bicycle and pedes- trian paths with a better qual- ity of light, to generate energy savings and to reduce the eco- logical footprint with a perfect aesthetic integration into the environment.

to offer a high lifetime of all electronic compo- nents and thereby providing an expected lifetime of 100 000 hours at L70, even in the most ex- treme environment. Electronic temperature moni- toring prevents overheating of LEDs and power supply (ThermiX®). The incorporated 10 kV surge protection ensures the reliable and robust func- tionality of the electronic components within any surge exposing environment. The control gear and LED engine is mounted on a hingeable aluminium plate for ease of instal- lation and maintenance. The whole light fixture, including pole, is a fixed assembly and is supplied in different lengths and configurations to meet the

light. The flexibility of the second generation Len- soFlex®2 photometric engine provides multiple lighting distributions to adapt to the diverse needs of contemporary lighting. The amount of LEDs is adapted to meet the photometrical requirements of the specified application. The Ellega is locally designed and manufac- tured, making it suitable to withstand harsh envi- ronmental conditions. Latest LED technology has been utilised to provide the most energy efficient solution. The thermal design has been optimised
