Lighting Industry News From flex7
Keep up to date with the latest news and product developments from flex7.
Black PIR Sensor Heads Now Available
We have now added black sensor heads to our PIR sensor head range. These black sensor heads are ideal for use in exposed ceilings where it's important that products blend in seamlessly with their surroundings. Sensor heads are available as a standard PIR sensor head, IP66, and Tamper-resistant versions.
flex7 Products – Made in Britain
Choosing to use flex7 not only guarantees you’ll be getting a great quality product, but our policy to manufacture in Britain mitigates, as far as is possible at least, many of the potential supply chain issues we’d be exposed to were we to opt to work with partners in more far flung places than Cumbria or the West Midlands.
Wakefield Fire Station
Specified by UR-EKA Lighting and Controls Ltd, flex7 were able to offer a bespoke lighting control solution that linked to the fire station's alarm system. Important lights in the building were networked together using flex7 network leads. A special flex7 Control Pack was connected to the alarm panel in the station, and receives a volt-free signal whenever the alarm goes off
CPR Compliance – In Brief
Although there are some exceptions, generally speaking it is illegal to install any cable that was placed on the market on or after 1st July 2017 that is not CPR compliant. We believe that CPR class CCA is destined to become the benchmark for many commercial installations in the UK. It provides the benefits of reduced reaction to fire in tandem with the robust verification process of System 1+.
Flex7 increase efficiency of Radiotherapy Bunkers
flex7 have helped to dramatically increase efficiency of radiotherapy units at Musgrove Park Hospital, Beacon Centre using their ZoneLite Lighting Control Modules. The Hospital is one of many across the UK who have a specialist unit to treat cancer patients.
