INNOVATIVE LOCATING SOCKET PROVIDING ASSISTED LIVING SOLUTION
CARINA LEDS FROM
KINGFISHER LIGHTING
Scolmore’s innovative Mode locating plug socket is designed to assist people with impaired
vision or poor hand to eye coordination to more easily insert a plug into a socket. The
contoured shape of the front plate guides the earth pin into position, and it is this plug
guide which gives the product a greater focus on usability, meaning its use can be extended
to situations where a socket isn’t easily accessible.
The product is available in one and two-gang options, with the two-gang version
featuring outboard rockers to further assist with distinguishing between switches, making
it less likely to switch the wrong one.
An addition to the company’s Mode range of wiring accessories, the locating plug socket
has all the benefits that are standard within this range, including anti-microbial properties
and a 20 year guarantee. It is also available in a visually contrasting version to meet with
Part M regulations.
Kingfisher Lighting’s Carina LED is a high
quality floodlight that provides an outstanding
wattage range and is a perfect fitting for many
applications from area and security lighting to
small scale retail and recreation.
The Carina LED flood was launched
alongside the new generation of high
bay luminaires - High Bay LED-C and
High Bay LED-S. Both offering LED
technology, they give excellent
output for a variety of industrial
and commercial applications.
The popular Villa range has
been developed to include this
energy efficient LED luminaire. This
traditional amenity light is perfect for
urban areas, parks, plazas and pathways.

the lighting market this year.
Available in fixed, tilt and the hugely popular anti-glare
options, these attractive and compact low profile
fittings are offered in matt white with a choice

emphasis based on glare this year by the LIA,
sales of the anti-glare fitting have rocketed.

LED driver, these 9W fittings offer a 55°
beam angle and a lumen output of 72lm/W.
The anti-glare option offers a high light
output whilst the matt black inner
baffle reduces the glare. On all
models, once installed, the bezel
can easily be removed when
decorating or just to change
their colour without the need
to remove the fitting.

PACE SAVING COMPACT RCBOS AVAILABLE FROM HAVELLS
This year, Havells developed a new range of compact RCBOs.
Unlike standard RCBOs, the compact range has been uniquely
designed to simplify installation and provide additional cabling
space in electrical distribution boards. Havells Compact
RCBOs maximise wiring and termination space due
to an impressive 25mm shorter, compact and robust
design, while offering fully electronic performance for
speedy installation and testing.
The new compact RCBOs are part of the Havells
Powersafe range of industrial and commercial
circuit protection, and control products. The 17th
Edition Wiring Regulations – BS7671 continues
to drive increased awareness of the importance
of protection from electric shock through the
use of RCD technology. This has dramatically
increased the use of RCBO products in electrical
distribution boards, combining the functionality
of MCBs with RCD technology into a single
device – the RCBO.
