IP-rated lighting fittings

Sill Lighting, Pracht, IP

A 215-page brochure on the Pracht range of high-performance IP-rated fluorescent and linear LEC lighting fittings for more aggressive environments is available from Sill Lighting. It covers batten, tubular, vandal-resistant, industrial, surface, recessed, special, emergency and a new range of LED luminaires — all from high-tech plastics.

A design feature is the use of two 45 mm O rings to seal fittings, rather than the commonly used 3 m-long gaskets.

Luminaires can be installed by one person with the special fixing-clip system. Lamps can also be changed by one person.
