MIH Traffic Lights and SBU Single Colour units

Following a recent study at D. G. Controls Ltd, the LED version of the MIH Traffic Light and the SBU Single Colour Unit has been upgraded by fitting a plain polished lens plate, in preference to the ribbed lens previously fitted.

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.

Stacking beacons improved

New improved deegee stacking beacon range are ideal for status-warning

Following input from our customers, major improvements have been made to the deegee range of stacking beacons. It had been reported that the beacons were hard to connect and secure. After evaluation of the tooling with our plastics supplier, major modifications were made, incorporating a ratchet system on the ring which locks the adjacent beacons together, and at the same time using the opportunity to introduce an o-ring, which fits into a recess, offering excellent water- and dust-proofing to IP65 rating.

These modifications are consistent across the entire deegee Stacking Beacon range, which includes LED, xenon and filament lamp variants, at 12 and 24V DC and 115 and 230V AC.

Deegee stacking beacons are ideal for status-warning of machinery, security gates, silo levels, weigh scales, etc and can be stacked to 6 high including a sounder module, making it unique in the stacking beacon market.

Since the modifications were made sales have increased by over 25%, showing the increased confidence in the new improved product range
