New Waterproof luminaires

New waterproof luminaires from Philips are said to cut installation time in half by eliminating virtually all-loose parts that can be dropped or lost during installation – saving time and frustration.

Supplied in quick-opening packaging, they are assembled by simply pressing the housing into mounting brackets secured to the ceiling. The cover is closed by snapping it in place with finger pressure alone. The cover is self-centring, for easy positioning in the housing.

The moulded grips hold the cover firmly along its entire length to provide a waterproof seal – and a prefitted cable gland, through which the wiring is fed preserves the watertight integrity of the design.

Like the previous Pacific range, the new range of luminaires is said to provide optimum lighting over areas where moisture may be a problem. Available in single or twin lamp versions, the luminaires are supplied as standard with Philips TL’D’ fluorescent lamps, although versions with Philips TL’5’ lamps will also be available. Operating with high frequency electronic ballast circuitry, TL’5’ versions offer higher efficiency and important cost savings – including up to 25% lower energy consumption and up to 50% longer life.
