I’m on slightly tighter
timescales
John, and given the cost of the entire building, saving a few hundred quid
on
the entire lighting system isn’t really going to be an issue.
I’m
actually going to get the guys from Polaron to do the lighting design for
me.
Although the individual dimmers from Clipsal are cheaper, I think due to
the
fact that each circuit is only 1A means that you’ll need more of them
in
even a moderately ambitious scheme. The thing that I really like about
Polaron
though is the switching panels – up to 10 buttons in a single gang
wallbox
– IMO they look more upmarket than the Clipsal stuff
too.
Don’t forget that new building
regs
mean that a third of your lamps now have to have fittings which can
*only* take energy saving bulbs

Tim.

InterBuild
UK @ NEC Last day tomorrow
Tim,
Had a good look at the Polaron system. Looked
very
good and I did like the
QED System line integration. I also looked at
C-BUS from Clipsal.
Apparently they are bringing out an audio and
security integrated system
very soon. I also looked at an Australian
product
>from
(www.dimtek.co.uk). Haven't had a look at the
web
site yet. Seemed okay,
with similar basic lighting controls, but no
idea
of cost. Also looked at
SmartControls which also seemed
okay.
Next task is to get a basic lighting design
done.
Send it off and get
comparative quotes for each system. I'll be
looking to do some of the
design and on-site commissioning myself (time
permitting).
All in all I had a good day, howeve it looks
like
it might have been an
expenses visit in the long
run!
