Built for convenience and durability, this luminaire offers a range of features and benefits to enhance the installation process and its performance:

The modular design enhances product sustainability as microwave sensors and emergency packs can be retrofitted in-house, by distributors or contractors without the need for tools. Clear markings on the gear tray guide installation, with easy wiring via colour-coded connectors.

LED Flex strip lighting from Knightsbridge is ideal for creating ambient lighting in kitchens, bedrooms and other spaces deserving colourful and energy efficient accents.

Flex’s low profile – from 1.5mm to 2mm – and 8mm width makes it ideal for hard to access, space-constrained locations, while its 3M self-adhesive backing tape provides a robust and durable fixing. Waste is kept to a minimum because installers can cut the LED Flex to fit at 50mm intervals and use the excess elsewhere, re-connecting it to other strips of product where necessary.

Both single and four colour (red, green, blue and white) versions are available, supported by dedicated drivers, controllers and profiles that offer a quick solution to most indoor installations.

The colour-changing RGBW LED Flex are available with smart technology so they can be controlled through Knightsbridge’s proprietary SmartKnight app.

The company has also introduced ‘COB’ single colour seamless strip lighting. COB stands for Chip on Board, meaning the LED diodes are built directly into the printed circuit board. The seamless strip lighting is ideal for illuminating indoor spaces since it offers a larger lighting area than traditional alternatives, resulting in no dark spots and perfect colour consistency and uniformity. The COB strip lighting is supplied with 150mm of cable and is dimmable with the appropriate control.

Rated IP20 for indoor use, the 12V single colour range offers colour temperatures from 3000K to 6500K and light outputs from 510lm per metre upwards in white only. Its 24V equivalent is also for indoor use, but available in various colour temperatures of white as well as red, blue and green. The colour-changing models are rated at IP20 for indoor use and IP67 options are also available.

The column where you get to put your lighting questions to the head of the Ovia lighting business, Mike Collins, and his team of technical experts.

Q. WHICH LIGHTING PRODUCTS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR A WAREHOUSE AND WHY?

We’ve recently reviewed and upgraded the warehouse lighting at another of the Scolmore Group companies, ESP, to replace old incandescent light fittings with much more energy efficient LED alternatives.

In general, we would recommend the Ovia Inceptor Hi-Lite LED dimmable Highbay luminaire with microwave sensor. There are various considerations to take into account when selecting a microwave sensor, such as the size of the space, and potential triggers such as ventilation fans, vibrations and water pipes. The parameters of the sensor can be changed to accommodate different applications and to eliminate any false triggering.

The Hi-Lite highbays are CCT switchable in 4000K, 5000K and 6500K, and come in black as standard and in a choice of wattages – 100, 150 or 200 W. They can be wall mounted or suspended which makes them very versatile. The luminaire can be mounted up to 12 m in height with a detection range of up to 15 m, while a chain mounted hook is supplied as standard.

The Hi-Lites can also be set to turn off immediately after an area is vacated or set to a secondary level for security purposes for a set time.

Whether you’re starting from scratch with a new build or you’re retrofitting an existing warehouse and lighting system, Ovia offers a free design service with a team of lighting experts on hand. They provide expertise in selecting the right products and solutions to create a scheme that meets all requirements and objectives of the project and is compliant with all the relevant regulations and standards.
