Up to 60% of the energy used by lighting can be saved if manual switching is replaced by automatic lighting control. Using flex7 makes it easy to select and install the controls you need to achieve these savings. Our lighting controls simply plug into any of Lighting Distribution Boxes, providing quick and hassle-free installations and maintenance.
We offer occupancy, absence, daylight dependency, daylight linking, integrated emergency test, corridor hold, last man out switch and networking across circuits/phases.
Our sensor head is the smallest of its type, measuring a mere 40mm at its widest. It fits through a 32mm dia. ceiling cutout.
The Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme aims to encourage the purchase of lighting controls that realise energy savings by automatically switching or dimming lighting.
The Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme enables businesses to claim a 100% first year capital allowance on investments in certain energy saving equipment, against the taxable profits of the period of investment.
Five different categories of lighting control are covered by the ECA scheme:
Time controllers that automatically switch off lighting at predetermined times.
Presence detectors with associated switching controllers that monitor occupancy and automatically switch off or dim lighting when the area is unoccupied.
Daylight detectors with associated switching controllers that monitor daylight availability and automatically switch off lighting when daylight is sufficient.
Daylight detectors with associated dimming controllers that monitor daylight availability and automatically dim lighting to the level needed.
Central control units that can manage the operation of electric lighting installations that include some or all of the categories of lighting controls above.
