POWERED BY SMART TECHNOLOGY

Our Story Founded in 2000 we set about creating a replacement for the neon cold cathode tube. It had to be safe to touch, robust, easy to use and suitable for both indoors and out. The result was Hi Lite ™I , our very first acrylic LED contour tube.

V

isive, then known as LEDtech started in June 2000. The company was founded, and the products developed by bringing together market sales experts and highly skilled electronics engineers.

In 2017 Hi-Lite™30 was born. The most radical change since the original product was created.

With a larger diameter, hidden clip arrangement and an easy to use field adjustable section, Hi-Lite™30 made installation even easier.

Also in 2017 in partnership with dK-LED, Visive created the first dual colour LED Border solution for Shell. Designed to replace the existing Big Bar ’’, the product provides a more visually appealing and modern appearance for the Shell brand colours. Shell have now adopted this design, with other LED border tube suppliers now producing their own versions of the Visive design.

This unique approach in this sector meant that our products were developed with functionality, reliability and quality as the overall objective rather than creating the cheapest solution and the problems that brings to the user.

Since then other brands and solutions originating from Visive include:

Our first customer was bp who wanted a neon replacement for their petrol forecourts. The result was Hi-Lite™I, our very first acrylic LED contour tube. More than 20 years and 300KM of tube later, we are still providing bp with the latest version of Hi-Lite™

• ESSO (MSI Petrol Sign) Hi-Brow™ - Clear.

• TEXACO (Astley Sign) Hi-Brow™ - Red. • JET (part of Philips 66) for Astley Signs.

The Visive contour / border product is currently in its third generation, each generation bringing advancements in product design and ease of installation.

In 2004 as part of our commitment to providing customers with a solution they can use safely and reliably outdoors, we developed the ‘CSC’.

A clever piece of patented electronics that monitors the health of an external installation 24/7. In the event the CSC detects an issue it disables the output of the CSC and displays the potential fault, protecting both individuals as well as the installation.

With the energy efficiency improvements within LED technology some of the Visive products now use less than 1.2 W / metre compared to 5.0 W / metre when the original Hi Lite™ product was conceived.

2008 saw a new version of our border / contour tube Hi-Lite™II.

The Hi-Lite™30 family now includes Classic, Border and Chroma, offering a large colour palette to choose from as well as Hi Brow™30 which provides a wall wash effect.

The next decade saw sales of Hi-Lite™grow, with new brands / sign companies seeing the benefits the product could bring, including an increase in footfall to premises due to the visual impact the product made.

We introduced the Visive Quality Mark to protect our customers from inferior copycat products entering the market.

Hi-Lite™started to appear across Europe and new sectors were now using the product.

NEW PRODUCT

Hi-Lite™30 - Performing Well TGI Fridays at Ashton U Lyne is their latest legendary restaurant to receive new, quality external LED lighting, welcoming customers to experience the vibrant atmosphere and delicious menu.

N

ew York, 1965. The year the first Fridays opened on the corner of 63rd+1st with the timeless promise ‘In here, it’s always Friday’.

Inspired by the Barnum & Bailey Circus and with an ambition to put on the ‘greatest show on earth’ a red and white striped phenomenon was born.

Fixed lengths were evenly maintained around the corners of the building by supplying bespoke length sections of Hi-Lite™30 Border.

By alternating between white and red Hi-Lite™30 Border, Harper Signs were able to deliver a stunning installation that showcases the TGI Friday branding.

Harper Signs has worked with Visive Group on several valued projects and based on the customer requiring a robust, reliable and safe product, installing Hi-Lite™30 Border LED contour tube to external elevations was the best choice.

www.tgifridays.co.uk www.harpersigns.co.uk

Harper Signs were looking to create the candy cane effect around the building fascia.

Our Technical team were able to calculate a fixed length for each colour allowing a consistent appearance around the entire building.

n total, 146m of red Hi-Brow™30 contour tube was installed on site to the canopy fasciae.

Hi-Brow™30 tube features lensed LEDs in a frosted acrylic extrusion, providing a consistent wash light glow which is projected down the fascia from behind the top pelmet extrusion.

The Visive contour / border products are fitted on a surface using a our own transparent snap lock clip, including a friction clip. For installations like this where product is installed vertically, fitting the friction clip ensures the product remains in its intended position.

By choosing the red Hi-Brow™30 product, Astley were able to enhance the red fascia sections, producing an incredibly deep red effect and giving this iconic brand and colour scheme the quality illumination it deserves.

Visive provides full details of how to use this friction clip correctly along with full installation instructions. We also provide training webinars and tech talk videos available via our website and on YouTube.

Red Hi-Lite™30 Classic was then installed vertically to the stanchions and leading edge of the spreader boxes. This allowed the colour scheme to continue under canopy and maintain that clean and vibrant look.

Both Hi-Lite™30 and Hi-Brow™30 can be supplied as standard in 2.4m fixed lengths as well as 1.2m & 2.4m adjustable lengths which can be adjusted onsite by the installer. Customers with very specific requirements can request, at an additional cost, bespoke factory-built lengths.

Safety Features

ll our outdoor power supplies include our patented Current Sense Circuit (CSC) as standard, providing a greater level of protection than other LED contour / border solutions as well as making installation and maintenance easier.

The Visive LED border / contour tubing is already a brilliantly safe product for use in public access areas as it is safe to touch with zero risk of shock.

The CSC system adds to these existing safety features making both the Hi-Brow™30 and Hi-Lite™30 ideal products for use in retail chain stores, hotels, restaurants, cinemas, service stations, supermarkets and casinos.

The Visive LED contour / border solutions are all plug and play. Simply connect your Hi-Lite™ or Hi-Brow™ sections into the PSU supplied and your installation is automatically protected by the CSC.

Troubleshooting Although the CSC’s primary function is safety, the device does come with a status LED which indicates the cause of the fault. The pulse ratio of the status LED relates to a specific fault issue. This troubleshooting aid means quicker fault diagnostics, considerably less down time and cost savings.

Continual testing The CSC continuously and automatically performs tests on the DC supply of the LED contour tubing installation. If a fault is detected the DC supply is automatically disabled. This automatic detection and power shutdown helps to dramatically reduce the risks associated with using any electrical product outdoors.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

Supporting Creative Advertising Custom curved sections of Hi-Lite™ Harlequin RGB tube create feature lighting which can be set to tone with the current advertising campaign.

O

utdoor media specialists JCDecaux required an eye-catching lighting feature for their new billboard totems at the Trafford Centre, Manchester. They wanted to be able to change the colour of this lighting quickly and easily, to suit the particular advertisement on display. The solution had to be physically robust and fully weather resistant to survive the exposed and unmanned locations.

proofing to IP66, robust design, simple ‘plug and play’ installation – with a full colour mixing control system, allowing the illuminated colour to be selected from a palate of over 16 million colours.

Visive’s standard DMX master controller allows operators to select from a range of pre-programmed colours and effects. For this application, the customer required that the controller allowed an operator to set relative brightness levels of red, green and blue directly.

Visive developed a custom version of its standard controller to facilitate this. The solution enables a new colour for a particular advertising campaign to be developed on an off-site test rig, with the RGB values for this colour then being passed on to a local operations crew. The local crew can then dial these values into the master controller within the sign.

Visive supplied custom curved sections of Hi-Lite™ Harlequin RGB LED contour tubing to provide an intense multi-coloured lighting solution to the totems. Six oval hoops of Hi-Lite™ encircle the fixture, with the top three hoops raked at an angle to echo the top of the totem column. A customised version of the Visive DMX master controller was used to allow simple setting of colours from within each unit.
