Gloucester Services

flex7 lighting connection and control products were recently installed in unique new motorway services on the M5. The pre-fabricated, plug and play philosophy of the flex7 System allowed for quick and simple installation.

Single Socket Outlets and eZeBox Expansion Units were connected with pre-wired plugs. This meant that the system could simply be plugged together on site, resulting in reduced time on site, and less need for skilled labour

Occupancy lighting controls were included in the WC areas. These ensure that lights will only remain on when needed, and save energy by automatically switching off when an area is vacant. flex7 lighting controls simply plug into any flex7 eZeBox
