The AstroDIM LED bollard is a stand-alone, dimmable lighting solution that automatically adjusts its light output without the need for manual control during predefined times. Ideal for clients seeking automated lighting control, it eliminates installation and...

Bollard lights with photocell sensors offer a highly convenient and automated lighting solution. These sensors function like a light switch, turning on or off based on the amount of light (lux levels) detected in the area. This means no manual adjustments are...

DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is a widely adopted protocol for controlling lighting systems. It is a 2-way communications protocol to provide communications between different components in a lighting system. It allows seamless communication between...

Safety is paramount when considering the protection of your site and its occupants. In the event of emergencies such as fires, power failures, or natural disasters, emergency measures should be in place to minimise the risks and ensure smooth evacuation. While...
