deegee Stand at International Fire Expo 2007 

It seems an absolute age since the last International Fire Expo - 2 years in fact! - but the wait is now over, the products are ready, the stand is built and we’re ready for our first visitors of the week.

The show runs until 4:00pm on Thursday 24th May 2007 and you’ll find us on stand G1 in Hall 8 at the NEC, Birmingham, UK.  Do drop by to the deegee stand for a chat with Lisa, Nikki or Wendy to discuss with them our latest innovations in audible and visual signalling technology.

Causing a huge amount of interest at Hannover Messe 2007 was the new 3-colour LED Beacon (SBU/UNI-LED/Red/Amber/Green) from deegee.

SBU 3-Colour LED Unidirectional Beacon 

Using sets of LEDs which allow Red, Amber or Green signals from the same unit, the beacon is perfect where space is at a premium.  Ideally suited to the R and the U housing from the deegee range,  the low profile of the unit and directional focus of the light is well-suited to traffic management, automatic car-washes, roller shutter doors, car-park barrier systems, and more. The U housing is the now familiar and extremely popular traffic light product from deegee.  Made from heavy duty UV-stabilised black polycarbonate, and fitted with a hood,  the SBU/UNI-LED/Red/Amber/Green features a Fresnel lens which focuses the light, giving long-range visibility.  Rated to IEC Protection Class IP65, SBU/UNI-LED/Red/Amber/Green is supplied with all the relevant fixings, allowing use singly or in groups of 2 or more beacons and sounders.  SBU/UNI-LED/Red/Amber/Green is available in DC 24V and AC 115 - 230V.

The 3-Colour LED Beacon is also available in the R Housing as a DC 24V unit.  Designated SBR/UNI-LED/Red/Amber/Green, the R Housing is only 92mm tall, the low profile being extremely popular where space is limited.  Combining the 3 colours into one unit perfectly fits the brief for minimal foot-print.

deegee stand at Hannover 2007

We had a great opportunity to meet many of our deegee distributors in Hannover, Germany, at the Messe 2007 exhibition.

Whilst the organisers were reporting visitor increases of around 10%, deegee went better than that with visitor enquiries up 15% on our 2006 show.  With our largest ever new product launch, in this our 40th year of business, this was a memorable show.  Of most interest to the deegee visitor was the 3-colour Static Beacon (SBU/R/A/G) and the IPN and MIH Traffic Lights, which were mounted using the new Post Mount system from deegee.

Thank you to those of you who came to visit us “ it was great to meet with you and introduce the new deegee products “ we look forward to seeing you (again?) at one of our upcoming shows.

2007 represents our 40th year in business as a privately owned independent company and brings with it the largest ever product launch in the history of D.G. Controls Limited.  With introductions into virtually all corners of the range, these items add depth to our already comprehensive portfolio - certainly larger than any other UK beacon lamp manufacturer. The two main themes of this launch are low-energy signalling/status, consolidating our lead in LED signalling provision, and extending our range of Explosionproof products to include new high intensity xenon strobe beacons as well as a 118dB Explosionproof sounder.One of the hot-topics at present is the recent announcement by the EU to ban the use of incandescent lamps by 2009.  Whilst we believe that this is concerned only with domestic lighting, and that Health and Safety applications will be exempt, we do recognise the need to ever strive for more efficient lighting solutions.  To this end we have for many years invested heavily in LED technology and now offer a multitude of devices that provide a level of performance, as measured in Lumens per Watt, that exceeds that of equivalent incandescent-lamped products.  Needless to say, this is not limited to simple small indicators but extends across the whole deegee range to include Stacking Beacons, Aircraft Obstruction Warning, Direction and Status Panels as well as traditional Rotating Mirror beacons.To round off this current selection of new products we are also introducing a range of panel mounting DC sounder elements as well as post-mounting facility for our range of Status Indicators and Beacons.

Rotating mirror beacon features LED light source

DG Controls is launching the new RF*/RMLED/, a traditional rotating mirror beacon with solid state LED light source, offering 360degree all-round visibility

DG Controls (deegee) are pleased to announce the production launch of the new RF*/RMLED/, a traditional rotating mirror beacon with solid state LED light source, offering 360degree all-round visibility. With an extremely high light output, for example on the Red RMLED of 278Cd, and a very pure colour obtained from using the same colour LED as beacon lens, this is truly a revolutionary product.

The product has been designed to use extremely low power, typically 5W power use at 24V.

This makes it suitable for fire and security systems, and for systems which feature battery back-up in case of failure of the primary power source.

The Ultra-low current draw means more units can be powered from a single source.  The lower power usage also means less energy is being wasted as heat.

The long life of the LED (100,000 hours typically) means low maintenance and, fitting into deegee’s E, G, H, J, K and T housings, a solution is available to suit all types of finish and application.

All deegee’s housings are certified to Environmental Standard IP 65 to afford shower-proof protection, or for more exposed environments, take the G series with its IP68 Certification.

The RMLED can be combined with Piezo Sounder - pulsed, chime or monotone - in E deegee housing.

Red, Amber, Green, Blue, Clear colour options are available, all made from UV-stabilised polycarbonate.

Brackets and Protective Guards are available for most models.
