    </div></div><h3>Mike Collins, Managing Director at Ovia, shines a light on some of the issues facing electrical wholesalers and how Ovia is helping to mitigate those challenges.</h3>
<p>The lighting industry continues to evolve rapidly, driven by shifting technologies, regulatory updates and market pressures. At Ovia, we recognise that our wholesaler partners face daily challenges in maintaining competitiveness and delivering value to contractors, specifiers and end-users.</p>
<p><strong>Product proliferation and complexity</strong></p><div id="pewho-1349415378" class="pewho-inline-mpu pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-1 - content after para 2 -->
<div id='div-gpt-ad-1551219974094-0' style="max-width: 300px; margin: 0 auto 20px;">

</script>
</div>
</div>
<p>The transition to LED, connected lighting and increasingly sophisticated control systems has expanded product offerings dramatically. Wholesalers now manage more SKUs, often with highly technical specifications, while customers expect instant product knowledge.</p>
<p>Prices for panels, battens, downlights and basic floodlights have dropped significantly over the past 5–7 years and the commoditisation of LED lighting has led to increased competition from brands on price with near-identical specifications, eroding differentiation.</p>
<p><strong>Price competition </strong></p>
<p>There is intense competition from online sellers and direct imports, and market saturation. Contractors and facilities managers now price-check online, putting pressure on wholesalers, requiring them to differentiate beyond pricing alone.</p>
<p><strong>Supply chain pressures</strong></p>
<p>Global supply chain volatility, fluctuating demand and long lead times can leave wholesalers struggling to maintain the right stock levels while controlling costs.</p><div id="pewho-1395352158" class="pewho-inline-mpu-2 pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-2 - content after para 8 -->

<script>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1551220000135-0'); });
</script>
</div></div>
<p><strong>Digital expectations</strong></p>
<p>Contractors increasingly expect online ordering, instant stock visibility and digital tools for quoting and submittals, pushing wholesalers to enhance their digital capabilities.</p>
<p><strong>The value of a brand</strong></p>
<p>In today’s competitive lighting industry, where technology rapidly evolves and prices fluctuate, a strong brand is one of the most valuable assets a lighting manufacturer can possess. Beyond logos and marketing slogans, a brand encapsulates trust, quality and a promise that customers rely on when choosing lighting solutions for their homes, businesses, or cities. A respected brand demonstrates consistent product quality, longer warranties and a proven track record.</p>
<p><strong>Trust and reliability</strong></p>
<p>Lighting is integral to safety, productivity and comfort. When customers select a lighting brand, they are not just purchasing a product; they are investing in reliability. A well-established brand assures architects, contractors and end-users that the luminaires will perform as promised, meet compliance standards and be supported with service throughout their lifecycle.</p>
<p>Ovia, a well-established brand following more than six successful years operating within the lighting industry, has the backing of Scolmore Group. As a family-run business for more than 36 years, the company is agile, able to make decisions quickly and react to market changes to continually deliver improved products and services. A sustained programme of reinvestment in the business infrastructure as well as its people, is what drives the business.</p>
<p><strong>Differentiation in a crowded market</strong></p>
<p>The lighting sector is saturated with manufacturers offering similar specifications and technology. A strong brand differentiates a manufacturer beyond technical data sheets, signalling design leadership, sustainability commitments and innovation.</p>
<p>A partnership with Ovia guarantees a range of high quality, value-for-money products backed up by excellent local stocks, next day delivery and outstanding customer service.   We are committed to helping our customers sell our products and this is demonstrated through our proactive marketing effort, attendance and support for trade events and helping them make the most of the training opportunities we offer to ensure the end user gets the best possible products and solutions for the job.</p>
<p><strong>Driving customer loyalty</strong></p>
<p>In a field where product life cycles can span years, a brand is what keeps customers returning. Positive experiences with product quality, responsive support and consistent performance build emotional loyalty, turning customers into long-term partners rather than one-time buyers.</p>

<li><strong><em>Lumens output: </em></strong>Determines the brightness level – the higher the lumens the more powerful the light output.</li>
<li><strong><em>Beam angle:</em></strong> Wider angles cover larger areas, while narrower angles focus light more precisely.</li>
<li><strong><em>IP rating:</em></strong> Ensures protection against dust and water, a crucial consideration for outdoor applications.</li>
<li><strong><em>Motion sensors:</em></strong> Enhances security by activating lights only when movement is detected. <em>Dimming capabilities: </em>Offers adjustable brightness levels for energy efficiency and versatility.</li>
<li><strong><em>Colour temperature:</em></strong> Ranges from warm white to daylight, affecting the ambiance of the illuminated space.</li>
<li><strong><em>Photocells</em>:</strong> Measure ambient light levels using photoresistors or photodiodes. Lights automatically turn on when surrounding light falls below a preset threshold (e.g., at dusk) and switch off when sufficient daylight is present (e.g., at dawn).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Benefits</strong></p>
<p>Stocking high-quality floodlights can offer several benefits, including increased customer satisfaction, higher profit margins and a wider range of products to offer, especially as demand for energy efficient LED floodlights continues to grow. High-quality floodlights, particularly LED models, are known for their longevity and resistance to harsh outdoor conditions, leading to fewer returns and customer complaints. With a range of wattages, beam angles and colour temperatures, wholesalers can cater to a wider range of customer needs, from security lighting to sports field illumination.</p>
<p><strong>A flood of light</strong></p>
<p>Ovia’s extensive floodlighting collection provides contractors, designers and specifiers with a range of powerful and energy efficient floodlights that are suitable for a wide variety of projects and environmental conditions. Included in the comprehensive line-up are IK10-rated outdoor wall packs, asymmetric floodlights with photocell, robust metal floodlights, IP66 street lighting and solar powered LED floodlights.</p>
<p><strong>Frameless floodlights</strong></p><div id="pewho-1239015778" class="pewho-inline-mpu-2 pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-2 - content after para 8 -->

</script>
</div></div>
<p>The most recent addition to Ovia’s floodlight range is the Sentro – a range of IP65-rated frameless LED floodlights designed to thrive in the most demanding environments. The frameless design allows edge-to-edge lighting making the Sentro a stylish and contemporary lighting choice.</p>
<p>An ideal solution for lighting large outdoor areas, these versatile luminaires are supplied in a black finish as standard and they are available in a variety of wattages – 10W, 20W, 30W and 50W &#8211; in standard or PIR variants. A choice of warm white or cool white colour temperature options is also available with all wattages.</p>
<p>Sentro is the first frameless IP65-rated floodlight that offers a PIR version. The PIR version has a 120° PIR detection angle and an 8m detection range and features an override function. The luminaires are supplied pre-fitted with 1m of cable and they come with an adjustable and angled bracket for installer convenience.</p>
<p><strong>The power of the sun</strong></p>
<p>With businesses and homeowners continuing to deal with the dual challenge of high-energy prices and environment pressures, Ovia is pleased to offer a range of solar power lighting solutions. The Zontor solar powered LED streetlight is a powerful 40W or 15W solar panel with advanced LED technology, resulting in an outstanding lumen output (4,800 lumen on the 40W model and 1,600 lumen for the 14W model.) It features a slim and modern patent design, and the light can be adjusted.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-28697" src="https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Zontor-in-situ-shot-no-logo-300x205.png" alt="" width="600" height="409" srcset="https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Zontor-in-situ-shot-no-logo-300x205.png 300w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Zontor-in-situ-shot-no-logo-1024x698.png 1024w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Zontor-in-situ-shot-no-logo-768x524.png 768w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Zontor-in-situ-shot-no-logo-1536x1048.png 1536w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Zontor-in-situ-shot-no-logo.png 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p>
<p>The Zonne solar LED security floodlight has a radiant 8W output, casting a crisp 4000k temperature glow at an impressive 950 lumens. IP65 rated, it is equipped with an adaptable solar panel that can be easily adjusted. As a very handy, additional feature, the Zonne fitting can be disconnected and used as a torch.</p>
<p><strong>Pathfinder</strong></p>
<p>Pathfinder is Ovia’s extensive range of powerful and robust, metal LED floodlights that provide a modern solution for retrofits and new installations alike. The range comprises standard floodlights as well as versions with Photocell and PIR sensors. In total the Pathfinder range offers 40 floodlight options from 10W – 300W, with fittings up to 50W available in both black and white finishes and in warm white and cool white colour temperature options.</p>
<p>This modern range has high-quality LEDs installed, offering 30,000 hours (L70)</p>
<p>lifetime and 100,000 switching cycles. The design incorporates a prismatic diffuser which produces a more even spread of light. All standard Pathfinder floodlights are IP65-rated, while those with sensors are IP44-rated. The more industrial 100W to 300W range are also IK07 rated. The standard range can be used with remote sensors, PIRs (indoor and outdoor) or microwave sensors (indoor only) as well as with smart control systems.</p>
<p>Floodlights remain a staple in the lighting industry, with advancements in LED and smart technology driving demand.

    </div></div><h3>Mike Collins, Managing Director of Ovia, shows us how to take Christmas lighting to a whole new level with the Inceptor Intense LED strips.</h3>
<p>The tradition of putting up Christmas lights dates back to 1882, when the first Christmas tree illuminated by electric lights was introduced in New York. Edward Johnson, a friend of the famous inventor Thomas Edison, was responsible for this innovative display. We have come a long way since those days and, no longer satisfied with the customary string of coloured lights adorning the tree, we are looking for other ways to lighten up our homes during the festive period.</p>
<p>The Ovia Inceptor Intense 24V LED strips provide an ideal way to decorate all areas of the home, providing millions of different colour options to really bring Christmas to life. Use them to frame doorways, around the edges of mirrors, across mantlepieces, to name just a few of the endless options.</p><div id="pewho-4030405716" class="pewho-inline-mpu pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-1 - content after para 2 -->

<script>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1551219974094-0'); });
</script>
</div>
</div>
<p>The strips are available in cool white, warm white and RGBW and they come in four pre-cut lengths – 0.5m, 1m, 2m and 5m. They use a plug and play system, which makes installation quick and easy.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-28115 size-large" src="https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/thumbnail_Inceptor-Intense-LED-Strips-1024x1024.png" alt="" width="640" height="640" srcset="https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/thumbnail_Inceptor-Intense-LED-Strips-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/thumbnail_Inceptor-Intense-LED-Strips-300x300.png 300w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/thumbnail_Inceptor-Intense-LED-Strips-150x150.png 150w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/thumbnail_Inceptor-Intense-LED-Strips-768x768.png 768w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/thumbnail_Inceptor-Intense-LED-Strips-1536x1536.png 1536w, https://pewholesaler.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/thumbnail_Inceptor-Intense-LED-Strips.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
<p>IP20 and IP65 rated, the LED strips come in the following variants:</p>
<p>&#8211;           7.2W standard with 60 LEDs per metre in warm white and cool white</p>
<p>&#8211;           14.4W standard with 120 LEDs per metre in warm white and cool white</p>
<p>&#8211;           7.2W RGBW with 48 LEDs per metre, offering up to 16 million colour options</p>
<p>&#8211;           14.4W RGBW with 60 LEDs per metre, offering up to 16 million colour options</p><div id="pewho-2980584192" class="pewho-inline-mpu-2 pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-2 - content after para 8 -->

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1551220000135-0'); });
</script>
</div></div>
<p>Set up is easy in four simple steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Peel the adhesive back from the chosen LED strip and place down on a clean and even surface.</li>
<li>Utilising the plug and play connections, connect the end of the LED strip to one of the driver leads.</li>
<li>Connect the driver lead to the chosen LED driver. Then ensure the LED driver is connected to the mains.</li>
<li>Switch on the power.</li>
</ul>
<p>With a variety of strips, connectors and drivers available in the range, their use goes well beyond the festive period. Installers have the flexibility for complete customisation, whether working within domestic, retail, or outdoor settings.</p>
<p>There is a simple LED Tape Configurator on the Scolmore Group app which allows you to create the perfect LED strip setup with an easy step by step guide.</p>

    </div></div><h3>With its latest lighting catalogue now out in circulation and new products making their way into the market, Katie Plumstead, Group Marketing Manager, Scolmore Group, puts the spotlight on some of the Ovia commercial floodlights that are proving popular with contractors.</h3>
<p>Ovia’s extensive floodlighting collection provides contractors, designers and specifiers with a range of powerful and energy efficient floodlights that are suitable for a wide variety of projects and environmental conditions. Included in the comprehensive lineup are IK10-rated outdoor wall packs, asymmetric floodlights with photocell, robust metal floodlights, IP66 street lighting and solar powered LED floodlights.</p>
<p><strong>Leading the pack</strong></p><div id="pewho-349269564" class="pewho-inline-mpu pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-1 - content after para 2 -->

</div>
<p>The Inceptor Murus is an LED Wall Pack with CTA switch and a robust IK10 rated housing that makes it ideal in outdoor settings. This IP66 rated fitting is designed to be fast and simple to install and is available in 15W and 25W options and in a choice of standard, photocell and emergency versions. The photocell version can assist with energy saving by allowing the light to turn on and off at set lux levels. Inceptor Murus will turn on when the lux level is below 10-30 lux.</p>
<p>Installation of the Murus is quick and easy, thanks to the Push Fit/Piano Key Terminal Block and the floodlight can be Besa box or trunking mounted. All models include a CTA Switch allowing the product to change colour temperature between Warm White 3000K, Cool White 4000K and Daylight 6000K. It is available in anthracite grey or light grey and comes with a five-year warranty.</p>
<p><strong>TM66</strong></p>
<p>Like many of the Inceptor luminaires, the Murus has been tested and has met the requirements of the TM66 Assured Product Verification Scheme. The TM66 scheme is an innovative initiative developed and fulfilled by the Lighting Industry Association (LIA) and endorsed by CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) and its aim is to advance circular economy practices within the lighting industry. Ovia is working towards making sure all its Inceptor luminaires meet the requirements of the scheme. TM66 testing involves the gathering of thorough evidence to support the specifications of our product range. We use the LIA to verify our TM66 results to ensure we have a consistent and accurate rating.</p>
<p><strong>Edge to edge lighting </strong></p>
<p>Launched just last month is the Sentro – a range of IP65-rated Frameless LED Floodlights designed to thrive in the most demanding environments. With its frameless design allowing edge to edge lighting, the Sentro offers a stylish and contemporary lighting choice.</p><div id="pewho-2896262184" class="pewho-inline-mpu-2 pewho-entity-placement"><!-- /111384791/pew-inline-mpu-2 - content after para 8 -->

</div></div>
<p>An ideal solution for lighting large outdoor areas, these versatile luminaires are supplied in a black finish as standard and they are available in a variety of wattages – 10W, 20W, 30W and 50W &#8211; in standard or PIR variants. A choice of warm white or cool white colour temperature options is also available with all wattages.</p>
<p>Sentro is the first frameless IP65 rated floodlight that offers a PIR version. The PIR version has a 120-degree PIR detection angle and an 8m detection range and features an override function. The luminaires are supplied pre-fitted with one metre of cable and come with an adjustable and angled bracket for installer convenience.</p>

<p><strong>Solar solutions</strong></p>
<p>As businesses and homeowners continue to deal with the dual challenge of high energy prices and environment pressures, Ovia last year developed a range of solar power lighting solutions, adding a new solar powered LED security floodlight and two solar powered LED street lights to its range. The Zontor solar powered LED streetlight is a powerful 40W or 15W solar panel with advanced LED technology, resulting in an outstanding lumen output (4800 lumen on the 40W model and 1600 lumen for the 14W model.)  It features a slim and modern, patent design and the light can be adjusted. The Zonne solar LED security floodlight has a radiant 8W output, casting a crisp 4000k temperature glow at an impressive 950 lumens. IP65 rated, the Zonne is equipped with an adaptable solar panel that can be easily adjusted.  As a very handy, additional feature, the Zonne fitting can be disconnected and used as a torch.</p>
<p><strong>Finding the right path</strong></p>
<p>Pathfinder is Ovia’s extensive range of powerful and robust, metal LED floodlights that provide a modern solution for retrofits and new installations alike. The range comprises standard floodlights as well as versions with Photocell and PIR sensors. In total the Pathfinder range offers 40 floodlight options from 10W – 300W, with fittings up to 50W available in both black and white finishes and in Warm White and Cool White colour temperature options.</p>
<p>This modern range has high quality LEDs installed, offering 30,000 hours’ (L70) lifetime and 100,000 switching cycles. The design incorporates a prismatic diffuser which produces a more even spread of light. All standard Pathfinder floodlights are IP65 rated, while those with sensors are IP44 rated. The more industrial 100W to 300W range are also IK07 rated. The standard range can be used with remote sensors, PIRs (indoor and outdoor) or Microwave sensors (indoor only) as well as with smart control systems.</p>
