Twelve-way connection units and multi-connection units have now been added to the flex 7 range, further extending the choice of lighting installation options available. This brings the different types of flex 7 lighting connection units to 22, making it the most extensive range on the market.Larger units like the new 12 way unit reflect the trend towards a higher density of lower wattage luminaires in modern buildings and the increased use of uplighting, as well as lay-in modules, to minimise glare in offices.
Flex Connectors have introduced their new unit – the fcb12 – in response to this trend and to feedback from customers. By bridging the gap between the existing 10 and 16 way units, the 12 way units provide a cost-effective solution for electrical contractors and consultants seeking to implement these new lighting trends. Applications for the new unit include lighting schemes where ten lights plus a plug-in sensor are required or where large numbers of closely grouped downlighters are called for.
The 12 way units are available across all three flex 7 connection ranges: the Value range - which caters for most circuit applications; the Multi range – which allows for the creation of two independently switched circuits within one connection unit; and the /7 range – which is particularly suitable for dimming control. All units are 16A 230V rated and can be surface, drop rod or conduit box mounted.
