Metal halide floodlights

• Instant start, no warm up time.
• Cheaper to purchase but more expensive to run, ideal for occasional short term operation (e.g. garden lights, spare toilets).
  

  

• Short lamp life on average 2,000 ho urs.
• Only produce warm white.
• Halogen bulbs are dimmable.
• Easily disposable.

CFL Light Bulbs

• Economy cfl lamps (£3 or less) take a minute to reach full brightness.
• Cheaper than LED lamp to purchase, ideal for mid to long term operation (e.g. table lamps, shop downlights, night lights).
  

  

• Mid to long lamp life, on average 8,000 to 10,000 hours.
• Can produce all colours -warm 2700k, cool 4000k and daylight 6500k.
• Economy CFL lamps are not dimmable however these are available (£6 or more).
• Have to be specially disposed of, cannot be put in general waste.

LED Light Bulbs

• Economy LED lamps are not dimmable however these are available (£17 or more).
• Have to be specially disposed of, cannot be put in general waste.

The occupancy bulkhead has a built in microwave sensor that triggers from movement with 360° detection zone. The LED bulkhead produces 4000K cool white. Built in lux sensor to control the operation of the light. A three hour maintained emergency option is also available on both types. Click the links below to view the range-

Kelvin colour temperature is a standardized method of measuring colours, we give three standard type. Warm white is approximately 3000K.         Cool white is approximately 4000K.           Daylight white is approximately 6500K.

For example an LED GU10 lamp with a colour temperature of 3000K will produce a warm yellowish white.
