RS Components has launched a comprehensive range of RS Pro LED lighting products for use in a range of energy-saving options, including torches and inspection lights, high-bay lighting, ceiling panels, battens and floodlights.
The torches and inspection-lights are targeted at maintenance engineers and range from handheld and head-worn torches to inspection lights that come with magnetic bases for hands-free operation. All the devices are chargeable via USB, offer light intensities from 250 to 1400 lumens, and come in a gunmetal grey and red finish.
Aimed at deployment in educational establishments, retail stores and warehouses, the RS Pro high-bay lighting options include 100, 150 and 200 W versions. Features include a 90-degree beam angle, 4000K colour temperature and a CRI of greater than 70. Pre-wired with a 2-metre power cable and housed in black aluminium with a tempered glass cover, the lights are IP65-rated and come with an adjustable daylight/ON sensor and an optional plug-in microwave sensor accessory for movement detection.
Beneficial in offices, warehouses and healthcare facilities, the LED ceiling panels are 600 x 600 mm 36 W lights and offer a choice of 4000K or 6000K colour temperatures. The panels are IP40-rated and an optional battery-backup emergency kit is available separately. The LED lighting battens are designed to replace standard fluorescent fittings and offer 2-, 4- and 5-foot options with a beam angle of 120 degrees and a colour temperature of 5700K. These vapour-proof, IP65- and IK08-rated, grey-coloured LED battens target use in offices, warehouses and car parks.
Lastly, the LED floodlight range is suitable for office and warehouse applications and features include IP65 and IK08 ratings, cool-white 4000K colour temperature and toughened glass housings. Devices are available with or without PIR sensors.
