The Stahl new pendant lighting concept makes installation and maintenance as simple as possible, reducing operator risk and lowering maintenance demands.
This is particularly important for platforms where maintenance tasks are time and labour intensive.
Versatile mounting configurations such as ceiling, wall and pole mounting, mounting bracket and pendant mounting are just some of the features that simplify installation.
Other user friendly enhancements include an innovative new galvanised wire guard that holds the safety glass cover during lamp replacement.
Intelligent design and a large housing eliminate the risk of losing either the lamp or the safety glass cover when changing lamps.
As always, quality is paramount in the design.
For example borosilicate glass is used for the window, because of its resistance to attack from water, alkalis, acids and organic substances.
This maintains light quality and reduces maintenance costs.
Lamp power of R Stahl pendant light fittings ranges from 50W to 500W, dependent on the light source used.
Sources such as traditional discharge lamps, tungsten and glow lamps to induction lamps can be used.
The latter with their long service life of up to 60,000 hours are particularly well suited to applications in which maintenance tasks are time and labour intensive.
The new lights, replacement parts and accessories are available now through the R Stahl extensive international sales and service network.
