The world of cable is, at best, convoluted and, at worst, a massive can of writhing, slippery worms. It’s full of obscure acronyms and complicated standards, so it’s not surprising that, over time, a number of misconceptions have woven their way into the fabric of this vitally important sector of the construction industry. Part 2 in our series of cable myths focuses on LSF and LSHF and if it really matters which you use.
'We at M.I Electrical Contractors installed a flex7 system for the first time as an alternative to the stand-alone systems we had previously installed. It was a good decision, the product, the operation and the continued support made it a joy to install and more importantly ended with a very satisfied client.'

It’s full of obscure acronyms and complicated standards, so it’s not surprising that, over time, a number of misconceptions have woven their way into the fabric of this vitally important sector of the construction industry. Probably the one I hear most often is: 'if it's not BASEC approved you can't use it'
Classrooms in the new building are all open ceilinged, meaning that the lighting connection and control system can not be hidden behind ceiling tiles. To get around this problem Dual Control Lighting Distribution Boxes are being installed in connected WCs (which do have a suspended ceiling) to discreetly share power between the 2 areas.
“LSF, LSHF! Yeah, it’s the same stuff.” On behalf of every cable manufacturer out there, no, no and no again. That’s like saying a McLaren F1 and a Lada are the same because each has four wheels, get you from A to B (admittedly, not always the case with the Lada) and they’re both “cars”.
We are excited to say that we'll be exhibiting at Education Estates this October. The event takes place on 14th and 15th October at Manchester Central and consists of a 2-day conference over 7 themed stages, and an exhibition showcasing some of the most innovative solutions.
"Our client is really happy with their new lighting and the fact that they now have full control of it and can undertake changes if required rather than having to call out an expensive engineer on the old, closed protocol system that was installed"
There are 2 meeting rooms, with a folding partition which can be pulled back to create 1 single room. A solution was needed that would allow the luminaires to be controlled as 2 separate groups when the partition is in place, or as a single group of lights when the partition is removed.
In response to increased requests from our customers we've officially added black Luminaire leads to our product range.
