Designed to speed up installation and simplify retrofit upgrades, Ansell Lighting has enhanced its popular Tornado EVO linear range.
The range now has with XPRESS capability; a fast, clip-in system that enables emergency and microwave sensor functionality to be added quickly and easily to standard products.
Set to be rolled out across more product lines in the coming months, the new Tornado EVO XPRESS luminaires feature clearly labelled gear trays with dedicated press and clip connection points, allowing XPRESS Emergency Pack and XPRESS Microwave Sensors (pictured) to be installed in seconds.
Developed to give installers more flexibility and to speed up project upgrades, XPRESS removes the need for tools – the packs are simply pushed into place and the wires connected.
Hugely beneficial for wholesalers too, Ansell’s new XPRESS system enables them to reduce the number of SKUs they need to hold without limiting customer choice. By stocking the standard Tornado EVO XPRESS products alongside the separate clip-in packs, customers still have the freedom to add emergency or sensor functionality as and when needed.
Mark Abbott, managing director at Ansell Lighting, said: “ XPRESS has been designed to make life easier for everyone in the supply chain. Installers benefit from faster installation and simpler upgrades whilst wholesalers can reduce stock commitments without limiting customer choice.
“Tornado Evo is one of our most popular and widely specified products which made it the ideal choice for introducing this new system. We are sure that customers will love the many benefits and added flexibility the new XPRESS versions offer.”
