Heavy weight EPC castings, powder-coated white, are available in several sizes: the Q which has a 91 x 95mm foot-print, the M which has a 140 x 150mm foot-print, and the J, which has a 255 x 265mm foot-print.  Each has four external fixing holes to secure the beacon to a bulkhead, steelwork or machinery, for example.  The full range of colours of polycarbonate lens (red, amber, green, blue, clear) are available for these bases, and all the products are rated to IEC Protection Class IP65.

The J housing is a popular choice for many of the ICAO compliant LED aviation obstruction warning beacons supplied by deegee, known as the SBJ/LED. This product conforms to the Type A 10cd requirement, for low intensity aircraft warning.

All of the cast aluminium enclosures can take LED-based circuits. In addition the M and the J can take rotating mirror, xenon strobe, and filament lamp technology, suiting all warning requirements and costs.

The enclosure was designed to accommodate all technologies, LED, xenon and filament, and future options of a shallow base and a tall lens are already planned.  C-Series has taken deegee into new application areas, offering genuine incremental business to our wholesale and distribution customers.  Red, Amber, Green, Blue and Clear lens and LED options are available, and the units are totally configurable into traffic light sets for specific signalling requirements, or can be used individually.

The enclosure features a twist-on lens which is fitted on bayonet fixtures.  This means the back-boxes can all be installed and wired-in, and then as a secondary exercise the electronics can be connected via a pluggable terminal block.  The lens is then held in place by an anti-tamper screw to prevent unauthorised access.

Units are available in 24VDC, 115 and 230V AC, across the technology type.  

deegee has always found Hannover Messe to be a great opportunity to meet with key export customers, and 2008 was no exception.  Thank you to all those who took the time to come and see the new C-Series range.  As always it was great to meet up.

MACH was a new show for deegee, and helped to raise the profile particularly of the stacker and STC range for machinery, both new and retro-fit.   We were visited by a number of our end-users, and this is always interesting as we get a far better insight into different applications than often the wholesalers are able to give us. 

Next on the calendar is EuroLED 2008 on June 4th and 5th.  deegee are exhibiting for the 2nd year, demonstrating the new LED C-Series, and cementing our place as one of the leading LED beacon manufacturers. 

deegee are exhibiting for the first time at Mach 08, at the NEC, Birmingham 21st – 25th April 2008, coinciding with their presence at Hannover Messe, Germany, where they have exhibited for over 10 years. 

Focussing on the industrial automation sector, deegee will be demonstrating their stacking and tower beacons, as well as launching the new C-Series, a multi-configurable mini beacon, comprising LED, Xenon and Filament technology.

The home UK market is extremely valuable to deegee, and a good quality show in the UK where we can meet face-to-face with our key customers is an important part of our marketing activity. 

deegee is once again exhibiting at Hannover Messe 21 – 25th April 2008.  deegee has exhibited at this show for over 10 years, and has always used it as a forum to launch new beacons and sounders to the market.  Naturally 2008 proves no exception.

A totally new style of beacon has been added to the deegee range, to be known as the C Series, measuring 94mm diameter and 85mm high.  With over 130 product derivations, the beautifully styled small enclosure houses LED, Xenon and Filament technology, ensuring a product to fit every brightness, application and price.  A significant feature is the ability to link multiple units together to form multi-status indicators / traffic light assemblies.

With a pre-launch response from some key deegee customers of “extremely interested”, C Series looks to be a hugely successful addition to the deegee range.

Come and visit the Deegee booth at location A18 Hall 8.

And don’t forget carriage is free within the UK. 

The video is only around 3 minutes long so sit back and enjoy.

To this end, an opportunity to add to the sales team at D. G. Controls has meant that Liz Hawes is now our Sales Administrator. Liz has worked in the production team for 3 years and so knows the deegee products well; she brings into the sales team an understanding of the day-to-day issues facing a production and dispatch operation, which in turn helps the sales team to appreciate the types of opportunities and deadlines which need to be addressed.

If you phone into D. G. Controls, it’ll probably be Liz that you speak to first, and as she develops in her new role, it’ll be Liz who will contact you about your orders, new products, etc.

Please join with us in congratulating Liz on her new position.

Peninsula are recognised as one of the leading Health & Safety support providers, and we are pleased to do business with them.

Given the application of the unit, and it’s directional characteristics, the new lens was trialled to establish whether this focussed more of the light in the forward direction than the ribbed lens was achieving.  Whilst already a high light output unit, just by changing the lensing the measured output increased by a further 700%.

Firmly established as a top-seller in the deegee portfolio, the SBU/LED, and the MIH/2U/LED and MIH/3U/LED are used in a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications.  Being ingress protected to IP65, and moulded from a robust polycarbonate, they offer an ideal solution where larger multi-status indication is required.
