Myth – CPR is no longer important
The requirement for cables to be CPR tested, classified and certified became mandatory in the UK in July 2017, and that legal requirement remains in place today.
Myth – LSF and LSHF Cable are the same thing
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.

"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"
Cherwell Council Offices
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.
Black Luminaire Leads now available.
In response to increased requests from our customers we've officially added black Luminaire leads to our product range.
