3-way Traffic Light IPN/018/Red/Amber/Green has been developed by DG Controls following success of the 2-way Traffic Light

Following on from the success of the IPN 2-way Traffic Light (IPN/002/Red/ Green), a request for a 3-way Traffic Light in the range was fulfilled with the IPN/018/Red/Amber/Green. The size of the unit, being just 200mm x 150mm x 80mm deep makes it ideal for locations where space is at a premium, and where conventional traffic lights are too large.

IPN 3-way Traffic Light (IPN/018) was designed specifically for traffic management in automated industrial plants, but it is well-suited to all indoor and outdoor traffic management, being rated to IEC Protection Class IP65.

It is also suited to status-warning indication on large industrial plant, where the light can be seen from a long distance, ideal for areas where there are low numbers of personnel.

IPN 3-way Traffic Light (IPN/018) is available in 24V DC and in 115V AC and 230V AC versions.

Traffic Lights but not as we know them!

MIH/2U and 3U Traffic Light beacons from deegee are proving a popular choice for some quite diverse applications, thanks to their robust build and excellent light output

In addition to the typical loading bay and site-traffic signalling applications, the MIH/2U and 3U, which can be supplied as either LED or filament lamp versions, are being chosen as the solution for a wider number of warning problems. Linked with the ‘Rising Bollard’ Security, which is becoming ever more popular at secure car-parking sites and Company premises, the MIH/2U is a safe and effective warning system to indicate to vehicles when it is safe to pass.

Being in traditional traffic light format, the MIH is easy to mount, and sturdy enough to withstand all weather conditions, being rated from -20oC to +55oC, and conforming to IEC Protection Class IP65.

However, MIH/3U is also being used as a level indicator to provide warnings for silo and tank-filling, linked to fill-monitoring systems.

The IP65 rating ensures the product is rugged against both water and dust, making it a good all-rounder for external and internal fitting.

Ultra-low power LED beacon ’sees’ everything

DG Controls launches the latest addition to its deegee beacon range, the new ULP-LED beacon

ULP-LED has a full 360degree all-round and 180degree all-over viewing angle, but uses less than 1/6th of the power of the equivalent filament lamp version. Available as either a static (SB/ULP-LED) or a pulsed (PS/ULP-LED) beacon, both types are available for AC (dual voltage 115/230V) , and 12V or 24V DC voltage.

The low power consumption makes it the ideal choice where power is at a premium, or where heat output is a problem, for instance in a confined space.

Using the latest Superflux LEDs, which have a 90degree viewing angle, the ULP-LED beacon is the perfect combination of excellent light coverage and low-profile format.

ULP-LED would typically be mounted in the low profile R (SBR or PSR/ULP-LED) or S (SBS or PSS/ULP-LED) heavy-duty cast aluminium housings.

However, for a recent rail maintenance project, Inelmatic NV requested the robust W housing.

This has the same low profile lens as the R series of beacons, but mounts onto the black polycarbonate base, which has formed cable entries on each side.

The siting of the beacons meant that clearance was restricted, but at only 150mm overall height, and given the light output through the sides of the lens, the SBW/ULP-LED proved to be the ideal beacon for the contract.

An added feature of the ULP-LED is that it can be combined with a sounder module to offer a chime, mono or pulsed audible signal.

This adds only 8mm to the total height of the unit.

All of the deegee housings mentioned are rated to IEC Protection Class IP65.

LED lamps preferred during maintenance visits

Sales of deegee brand LED Plug-In Modules have been given a boost thanks to a new contract awarded to Inelmatec N.V./ S.A., the sole distributor for the deegee brand in Belgium.

Moulded with a B15d lamp cap fitting, the LED Plug-In Modules are being used across industrial sites to upgrade tower beacons. Replacing filament lamps, the Led Plug-Ins are being selected by engineers due to the long life-time.

Only 25mm in diameter, the LED Plug-In bayonet cap can be fitted to new and existing models of Stacker Beacons, Towers and Single Beacons.

High brightness Clear, Red, Amber, or Green coloured LEDs are fitted, and all versions are protected by a clear polycarbonate lens. 230V AC, 115V AC, and 24V UC (AC or DC) are available in all listed colours, and a 12V UC variant to special order.

With an estimated running life in excess of possibly 100,000 hours, maintenance can be severely cut. Cost-savings are also achieved due to the lower current draw compared with a filament lamp*.

Further detail on this and the entire deegee range can be found at www.deegee.com. Details of the Inelmatec N.V/ S.A. range can be viewed at www.inelmatec.be

* 24V unit draws 83% less current when fitted with the LED Plug-In versus a standard 5W filament lamp.

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.
