so Gary want to think about Lewden Palazzoli early what springs to your mind to my mind it's the
industrial plug and the industrial socket outlet you're right and we have featured them extensively
on the channel over the last couple of years we've even installed one behind us here we've got
our Top Ter there we'll put in that Wago energy meter if you haven't seen that video check it out
and as a result as a result of that now we've now been able to install an 18 kilowatt fan heater yep
and considering today we're in t-shirts on one of the coldest days in December so far and now that's
what a delight that's been but today we're not looking at plugs and sockets we will get one Gary
don't worry okay good we're looking at these light fittings from Lewden Palazzoli okay and looking at
it just from the back you're looking at it from the front i would say it oozes absolute quality
yeah it absolutely is it's quality and flexibility i'd probably best sum these up as the swiss army
knives of industrial lighting because pretty much between the two products we've got here
you can cover almost every industrial lighting application there but you're right quality how do
we know about the quality though Gary we'd know about it from just simple things like the bracket
on the back so i'm going to take it out i've got the stainless steel bolts and i can fix that
bracket in several different positions depending on what i want to use it for so application wise
these can be mounted in different ways and when i think about mounting it i have to think back
about that lighting designer and what have they suggested i need to do in order to get
the correct light pattern in that area and then you've got an angled gauge on the side engraved
so you can actually set it perfectly as well yeah and that's just one of the things that quality but
also think about quite lots of people talk about form and function of the products but
we've actually seen these products being made from start to finish now we will put a link uh
in the description to the video where we trace this through at the Lewden Palazzoli factory
and you'll see the processes and the care and attention that goes into assemble what we'd call
is a quality product again lots of people talk about quality but it's that dependability in
some very heavy industrial applications where the design features in this product really come
out yeah and it was wonderful wasn't that raw material to end actually to be involved in that
process was an amazing thing and what i liked about it when you got to the very end and they
tested it you got a smiley face and you got a sticker it felt like i was back at the dentist
yeah so just so we've got our two products from the range here uh we've got the Tigua uh when this
version here has been configured as a flood light with a bracket so you can make it on the wall
right and we've got the Mito which is a high bay light but again this has been configured
as a wall mountable high bay now we don't normally assume high bays being wall mountable we know we
think they're hanging suspended from the roof we do yeah but you're right you've got that
adjustable wall bracket you just mentioned Gary um but that is the start so this range here goes from
depending on lumen packages from 4000 lumens to over 27000 lumens or as you would know that Gary
what's that broad daylight yeah it's a certainly a lot of light and obviously depending on mounting
heights so we can talk about this sometimes this can be configured as a low bay uh and then a high
bay but obviously where you use them obviously depends on the exact configuration of a factory
or a space or you can even configure this as a flood lighting option yeah and to go with that
there are mounting poles you can mount it on a pole on the top of a pole there's other options
wire guards and you know then think about the other materials so this one here has got glass
but what's the other option you can have plastic as well if you think you may be in a food
processing environment you probably wouldn't want a glass lens in that environment in case for some
reason it happened to shatter and obviously came down yeah so there is a specific approval for that
if you're working in the food industry yeah you don't want uh glass shattering and that can cause
the shutdown of an entire factory um so other options we can have these in emergency versions
as well yep we can also have them in the one that we're going to cover soon on the channel
we can have it in DALI as well we've been asked and requested it and we can do a DALI connection
as well and that comes down so speaking of connections again i knew you'd get back the
connections is that safe territory for you it is safe terror for me but of course with the
mention connections yeah i noticed the ferrules are out and you're in making those connections
into this adapter here in order that we can make that connection so of course we love a
ferruled end there's more connections now because we've got the DALI just talk me through those
connections yeah so the DALI has an additional two connections are plus and minus for the DALI bus
now every time we mention DALI people always say will you do more on DALI and the good news is
uh in the new year we will be doing some videos specifically about DALI to help people understand
the lighting control system that is DALI not the surrealist painter um so from that but
then think of this in this application so in DALI here this would probably be installed in
a factory environment you can then couple that to occupancy sensors so you can turn down the lights
when there's nobody in the space but then also think about daylight coming in through possibly
windows or doors you can have constant light level and the lights will adjust accordingly
and that adds to energy savings but also the long term uh lumen maintenance of these products yeah
it's really good and that that that plug that goes in there okay as we push it in i absolutely love
it because it goes in and it locks itself into the on position in order to release it you have
to go in and give it a twist and take it back out again that's brilliant design and that's
where it oozes quality once again yeah and a lot of those features unfortunately are all hidden
under the cover you get a little peep on this one if you look through the window where it says
Palazzoli you can see what's going on in there but these are designed as sealed products so you don't
have to when you get the site remove covers that plug you know you wouldn't necessarily want to be
trying to balance that and connect wires into it at the time so that plug and socket is
yeah it's fantastic for that um yeah you're right oozes quality Gary yeah it's also got a little
thing down here okay i'm really interesting can you just explain to me again what that is
you've got you've got a waterproof coat again i have got a waterproof coat yeah
gore tex i have heard of gore tex yes so this is what's known as a gore vent
and it uses the same material that's on a waterproof coat so it's a breathable membrane
so what that does is obviously when things get hot the air inside them expands
and that causes the pressure difference and this manages that pressure difference so that air can
go in and out so it doesn't stress the gasket seals and you can keep that high IP 66 and 67
rating of these products okay when it comes down to quality i think then optics because that's
really where we're going to see the benefit of a quality light fitting talk me through the optics
Gordon yeah so i mean if i just i'll flip this version over and you'll see yeah there are some
very different optics to what you used to seen on a lot of um a lot of high bays that you see
possibly off the shelf um and obviously by tailoring the light you can use less fittings
and use them in different applications so this is a high bay light but it's configured to be mounted
on the wall right so when we do that that means we want to push the light forward from the wall not
back behind the wall and we want to spread it out at an even angle to achieve the maximum spacing
between fittings yes however no that comes with that obviously in a factory environment you've
got to think people obviously try to work they are yeah so you've got to minimize things like glare
and so the optics play a part in that so glare is often something people say oh
this fitting is low glare it can be because it's got great optics but that's actually has to be
designed in the application because obviously depends on where you put that if you say you know
working on a bench like this but in the corner of your eye that you've got this glare of this
really bright light fitting that obviously causes all sorts of problems so when we turn them on and
we see them there facing the wall we can see that no light is coming back to where the camera is
the light is being thrown forward but then because of the optics and how they're obviously designed
we're actually getting light either thrown straight down and then when we rotate that
light fitting round we can see that that light now is not being thrown down it's being thrown up
but it's never been thrown back beyond the light fitting yeah that's it and obviously in an outdoor
environment say you're using this as a floodlight obviously this can be configured as a floodlight
you're not getting that upward light as well and upward light means light pollution all right okay
yeah that makes sense and exactly the same when we brought that one into the wall the flood light
in there we got exactly the same process and we rotated around in the same order we could see that
we were throwing light down and obviously if we flip it around we were throwing light up but again
we weren't throwing any light back towards where the camera was yeah and that's the optics we've
got here but if you look again i'll put a link in the description to the data sheets for these
products there's an extensive range of optical solutions you can get a narrow beam version
which can be good for a flood lighting or if you're in an environment where the high bay
itself is at an incredibly high ceiling height and you don't necessarily need to spread it you need a
good amount of light coming straight down from the fitting it's quality it's absolute quality
from Lewden Palazzoli it's what we expect is what we've seen in their plugs and sockets we've taken
it to a different level with these high bay lights and obviously so we are as we said going
to look at that DALI i think if there's any other questions about lighting the other one we get as
often as well comes up as emergency lighting yeah let me know these also are available with
emergency lighting packs as well uh we'll try and answer those as well but put your comments in are
you working in any heavy industrial environments that could benefit from something like this
or have you got any other questions related to lighting and Gary will try and get back to
as many as you can only if you put the back on because the temperature's shocked in a Gordon
