OVIA LAUNCHES NEW COLLEGE LED BATTEN RANGE Ovia continues to extend its comprehensive lighting offer and the focus of the latest product development is the education sector, with the launch of the Inceptor A-Lite College LED Linear Batten range.
T
he new Inceptor A-Lite is available in standard, microwave sensor and emergency versions and comes in two sizes, 1200mm (4ft) and 1500mm (5ft). A choice of wattages is offered (17W, 25W, 32W, 50W and 60W) and all models include a CTA (colour temperature adjustable) switch – a built-in, three position switch which allows for instant change of the colour temperature from warm white (3000k), to cool white (4000k) to daylight (6500k). Inceptor A-Lite boasts a range of features and benefits to provide installers with a high-performance fitting that is safe, quick and easy to install. It features a hinged diffuser with a quarter turn locking mechanism and push fit/piano key terminals, which all combine to allow for quick and easy access into the internals, which speeds up the installation time. A fixing centre guide is located on the packaging to allow for easier installation without the need for the installer to manually mark up the drill holes when mounting to a ceiling or a wall. Inceptor A-Lite is part of Ovia’s Utility lighting range, which also includes the Inceptor B-Lite and the U-Lite.
Inceptor B-Lite is a range of 4ft, 5ft and 6ft linear batten multi-current LED fittings, available in standard, microwave sensor, emergency sensor and microwave and emergency sensor versions. They are a direct replacement for conventional battens and boast many features. Safety, speed and ease of installation have been given top priority. A security wire, pre-attached to the base of the product, allows the diffuser to be hung from the base and means the installer doesn’t have to remove the cover and place it aside during installation. The diffuser can be easily pulled apart from the steel base with the help of spring clips, allowing for quicker and easier installation. The multi-current driver, with the option for four different wattages, allows the installer to increase or decrease the lumens, depending on the requirements for each individual application. The fitting is combined in single output and twin outputs, so there is no need for two separate units. The Inceptor B-Lite has a TP(a) rated thermoplastic diffuser and a strong IK08 impact protection, which means it is suitable for many applications. U-Lite is a range of slimline linear LED luminaires that have been designed and developed as the ideal retrofit replacement for single and twin-lamp fluorescent fittings. There are 24 variants in the U-Lite range, and they can be installed into walls and ceilings, or suspended. They come in standard, microwave sensor and emergency models, and in three different lengths – 1200mm, 1500mm and 1800mm. Each length is available in a single fluorescent lamp equivalent and a twin lamp equivalent output. Wattage ratings range from 21W to 72W cool white (4000K) and they offer an LED lifetime of 50,000 hours (L70). Made from non-corrosive polycarbonate, each unit has an IP rating of IP65 and a tough impact protection rating of IK08. The transparent frosted polycarbonate cover dispenses light outward with an even spread of light.
Wiring and installation of the U-Lite is quick and easy using the piano type five-pole push fit terminals and the fittings come supplied with anti-tamper stainless steel assembly clips and screws, allowing the installer to secure the unit to prevent others accessing it. By integrating the diffuser and gear tray and anchoring them to the base, the U-Lite ensures a hassle-free installation without the need to fully disassemble the product to mount and wire it. All three products are supplied with a five-year warranty. Ovia, oviauk.com
