Having just returned from a long trip to HQ, in Waldenburg Germany. I thought I would mention a rather exciting new product that has just been released.
Developed in conjunction with Diageo, it is currently used exclusively in the Whisky and Whiskey industries ( I know my stuff!) for illuminating exit routes and passage ways between the maturation racks.
The led units either 24v or 48 v ac/dc and connected to a power source via a ASI type cable. Run your cable and then connect your LED fittings wherever you prefer on the cable. All suitable for a Zone 2, Zone 21 and Zone 22 environment. Great!
Further to this we have also received our first non Whiskey / whisky related order. This time for a petrochem plant operated by BP. In this instance the product is providing lighting for some rather large columns on site.
So, I am thinking, is there more to this product than just hazardous area industrial type applications? As well as being explosion proof, tough and durable this small but powerful light fitting is also rather unique. Quick and easy to install, possibly ideal for bridges, towers or any large structure.
Any Architects out there interested in seeing this product ?
By the way the trip to Germany was long and arduous because of the flying. Flying used to be fun and rather exciting, now just another grind. My feet seemed to be the main concern this time at Frankfurt airport? Twice my feet were subject to the magic bleeping wand as I made my way to the departure gate and twice my shoes had to go through the scanning thing. All the more horrendous because I had forgotten my clean pair of socks as I packed to leave home so those on my feet had been turned inside out and were well past their best.
Euro Star to Stuttgart please, that would better!
