A range of specialist fluorescent 'proof luminaires for harsh environments

Introducing X-Force The X-Force range is designed to withstand difficult and demanding environments. Sharing the same high build quality and strong IPÓ5 compliance, X-Force products continue to perform in the most arduous wet But not all industrial working locations are the same. Each application presents a different challenge. Maintaining good lighting levels and a safe working environment requires the right luminaire to be selected - one that can face up to these challenges and come out on top. energy saving 15 Chemical resistance table

ImpactForce takes its name from the tough polycarbonate diffuser that is able to withstand high impacts of up to IK09. ImpactForce is ideal for locations where impact to the luminaire may occur or vandal resistance is required. Typical applications include loading bays, multi storey car parks, subways, sports stadiums and warehouses. As the name suggests, CorrosionForce is the answer when you need to light an area where the atmosphere contains trace chemicals that may contaminate a standard IP65 luminaire. Typical applications include food processing and preparation areas where special cleaning...

X-Force - designed to perform in the In situations where conventional luminaires are ready to give up, the new X-Force range really comes into its own. Whether confronted with dirt, dust, moisture or chemical atmospheres, within the X-Force range there is a product that gives durable functionality and excellent lighting quality in a wide range of difficult environments. Stainless steel tamper resistant toggles The stainless steel toggles The toggle easily fits into the canopy. Once fitted, the toggles remain secure. The diffuser is clamped into position with a simple click unwanted interference...

• Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) The main advantages of GRP are chemical resistance and strength. It has a high strength-to-weight ratio and outstanding flexible strength. It is ideal where luminaire bodies are exposed to harsh environments as it provides resistance to UV light, extreme temperatures, salt air and a wide variety of chemicals. Transparency, excellent toughness and a good dimensional stability make polycarbonate (PC) one of the most widely used thermoplastics for lighting diffusers. Constraints include modest resistance to UV radiation. • Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Better known...

European safety standards specify that emergency lighting is required in all public places to enable a safe exit if the mains power supply fails. Emergency lighting has to provide sufficient light to reduce confusion and aid safe evacuation. Thorn's X-Force range offers a number of emergency lighting options that are integrated into the luminaire, ensuring a safe and totally compliant lighting scheme. This approach improves the appearance of the location and helps reduce installation cost and complexity. X-Force emergency fittings guarantee emergency operation for three hours, allowing full continuity...

energy saving The X-Force range offers energy saving with the option of dimmable luminaires or Switchlite detectors. In combination with Thorn's Indoor Lighting Control range, X-Force installations will provide light at the right place, the right time and with the right light level, to increase SensaLite is a selection of stand- alone products that are ideal for the use with the X-Force range. • SwitchLite detectors will link together fixed output High Frequency versions of X-Force, only providing light when outdoor applications, where a high IP rating is required, (available in white or black)...

X-Force luminaires - tested to the highest standards In harsh and difficult environments, it is important to know that when the X-Force luminaire is selected highest standards. to resist the effects of dust and moisture, but there are often additional features required, • Chemical corrosion • High temperatures • Strong winds and rain The Thorn X-Force range includes luminaires that are designed to satisfy these requirements and continue to provide high standards When a professional IP65 proof range is designed, it is essential that it will perform to the highest standard expected from a Thorn...

Mechanical tests Tests subject components to torques and forces that may occur in practice. A spring-operated impact hammer is used to test the mechanical strength of components and a vibration rig to replicate exterior windage. For an IP65 classification (dust-tight and jetproof), luminaires must resist ingress of dust with a particle size down to 1 micron and resist ingress of water from a hose or jet pressure of 30KN/m2. Luminaires are switched on during testing and allowed to reach their normal operating temperature, as it needs to be established whether water or dust is drawn in when the...
