Commercial Lighting

Commercial lighting covers the tough fittings used in commercial and industrial buildings, indoors and out, including schools, care settings and sites that need security lighting. This Knightsbridge range is led by LED bulkheads, including 5W amenity lights and BT EVO, BT and Sherpa models with selectable colour temperature, and adds Torlan non-corrosive fittings, high lumen battens, emergency fittings and conversion kits, Tenax anti-vandal casings and high bay lens accessories.

Choosing Commercial Lighting

Choose the fitting type first, then the protection it needs and how it will be switched.

Bulkheads

The BT EVO BTEV, BTEVCF and BTEVP switch between 9W, 14W and 18W and three colour temperatures, and are rated IP65 and IK10; the BTEV gives 930lm at 9W and 1,750lm at 18W at 4000K. The BT9ACT, BT14ACT and BT20ACT families are IP65 bulkheads set to 3000K, 4000K or 5700K, with trim, DALI, emergency and sensor versions. Most Sherpa bulkheads, round SHE1 and eyelid SHE2, have a die-cast aluminium body and an anti-vandal polycarbonate diffuser. The AMLED amenity bulkheads are 5W IP54 fittings for low-level and security lighting.

Non-corrosive fittings and battens

Torlan TORCW fittings come in 2ft to 6ft lengths with selectable wattage and colour temperature and IP65 and IK08 ratings; the 6ft TORCW6 gives 4,750lm at 30W or 8,660lm at 60W and has stainless steel diffuser clips. The TRLEDA151 runs on 110V to 240V AC and the TRLEDA221 on 110V. The BATS5H and BATS6H high lumen battens give 5925lm and 6475lm, and the BATS6H and the BATSCDA6, a 6ft 48W DALI batten, are rated IP20 for dry interiors.

Emergency and accessories

Most emergency versions carry EM in the code, such as the BT14ACTEM, SHE1BEM and TRLED26EM. The EMKIT2L converts LED fittings of 3 to 50W, and the MODEMKIT converts Knightsbridge modular luminaires. The Tenax Pro casings are IP66 and IK10 with stainless steel screws, and take a TENAX LED gear tray bought separately.

Frequently asked questions

What do IP65 and IK10 mean on a bulkhead?

IP65 means the fitting is dust tight and protected against jets of water, so it can go outdoors or in wash-down areas, and IK10 is the top of the IK impact scale. The BT EVO bulkheads and the TNXQCW Tenax Quad casing are rated IP65 and IK10, which suits them to places where a fitting may be knocked. The Torlan TORCW fittings are IP65 and IK08, a step lower for impact.

What is a non-corrosive light fitting?

A sealed linear fitting with a polycarbonate body and diffuser, built for damp, dirty or chemical-laden air where a steel batten would corrode. The Torlan TORCW fittings are IP65 and IK08, and most have stainless steel diffuser clips. The TRLED26EM twin LED emergency fitting has 14 lockable clips and gives 7770lm from 69W.

What is an adjustable wattage bulkhead?

A bulkhead whose output is set at installation, so one model covers several jobs. The BT EVO BTEV switches between 9W, 14W and 18W, giving 930lm, 1,400lm or 1,750lm at 4000K, and also between 3000K, 4000K and 5700K. The Torlan TORCW6 is set to 30W or 60W, and the TORCW2 to 14W or 26W.

Which commercial fittings work with DALI control?

The BT14ACTDALI and BT20ACTDALI bulkheads and their emergency versions, the BT14ACTDALIEM and BT20ACTDALIEM, have DALI control, as does the BATSCDA6 6ft batten, which also offers push dimming. The Torlan TORCDAST6 is DALI compatible for control and dimming, with an emergency function, and is a 6ft 65W fitting.

Can an existing LED fitting be converted to emergency lighting?

Yes, with a conversion kit. The Knightsbridge EMKIT2L is a LiFePO4 battery pack for LED fittings from 3 to 50W at 24 to 48V, for maintained or non-maintained use, and is compatible with the LUM40, LUM70 and LUMI6060 series. The MODEMKIT is a 3W kit with a 3-hour LiFePO4 battery for Knightsbridge modular luminaires such as the BATMxx.

Which bulkheads switch on by themselves?

Sensor models do. The AMLEDBS amenity bulkhead has a microwave sensor with adjustable sensitivity, time delay and lux control, and the SHE1BS, SHE2BS, BT14ACTS and BT20ACTS carry microwave sensors too. Daylight sensor models such as the AMLEDWP and BTEVP switch by light level, and the BT14CTA and BT20CTA have a corridor function.

Is there commercial lighting for a 110V supply?

Yes. The Torlan TRLEDA151 5ft fitting runs on 110V to 240V AC and gives cool white 4000K light from 26W, and the TRLEDA221 is a 110V IP65 twin LED non-corrosive fitting. The AMLEDW amenity bulkhead is compatible with both 110V and 230V supplies.

How much light does a high lumen LED batten give?

The BATS5H 5ft batten gives 5925 lumens from 55W and the BATS6H 6475lm from 60W, both at 4000K cool white; the BATS6H has a stated life of 50,000 hours. For a surface fitting in schools or care settings, the PRCLED gives 6110 lumens from 49W.

Are there bulkheads that take a standard lamp?

Yes, with the lamp bought separately. The BH22BC (100W) and BH22PB (60W) have a B22 lampholder. The E27PC and E27PR take an E27 lamp of up to 100W behind a clear or red prismatic diffuser. All four are IP65 and dimmable, subject to the lamp fitted.

What is an anti-vandal bulkhead casing?

A tough casing with secure fixings that protects the LED gear tray in public or exposed places. The Tenax Pro TNXPROCBK, TNXPROCEBK and TNXPROCEG are 320mm casings rated IP66 and IK10, with stainless steel screws, tamper-proof on the TNXPROCBK and TNXPROCEG. The LED gear tray is bought separately.
