As businesses look at introducing products to the market which can help slow the spread of the virus and avoid a \u2018second wave\u2019, manually touching light switches can easily be avoided by automatic motion or occupancy sensors.<\/p>\n
BEG Lighting Controls have a range of wall-mounted sensors with di\ufb00erent features. The German manufacturer\u2019s products include the BEG Indoor 180-R motion detector with acoustic sensor and relay version, the BEG Indoor 180 KNX with integrated KNX BUS coupler and up to three additional switching channels and, the Indoor 180 2C with acoustic sensor and additional potential free contact for the added control of the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning).<\/p>\n
This innovative product set means electrical contractors, speci\ufb01ers and lighting designers are equipped to o\ufb00er a safe and practical contactless light switching solution to end users. The BEG Indoor 180 range is ideal for businesses as well as for schools, colleges and universities and more. Paul Jones, sales director for UK & Ireland at BEG Lighting Controls, said: \u201cIt\u2019s a fact that if many di\ufb00erent people have to use the same light switch, there is a health risk associated with it, but contactless light switching solves this issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was concluded very early on during the pandemic that Covid-19 is extremely contagious, so converting light switches to contactless is a much more hygienic solution for businesses to keep sta\ufb00 and customers safe, and in an educational environment, for teachers and students.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is why at BEG Lighting Controls, we are doing all we can to raise awareness about contactless light switching to electrical contractors, and to our electrical wholesaler and distributor partners.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnlike standard light switches, BEG occupancy sensors activate the lighting as soon as movement is detected so touching the product is not necessary at all. Likewise, the motion detectors are designed to switch the light on and o\ufb00 automatically by motion detection. There is also the added bene\ufb01t for organisations due to this di\ufb03cult \ufb01nancial time that occupancy sensors and motion detectors have also been proven to result in making energy savings.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWe have strived to be at the side of our partners in these troubled times. This crisis will further strengthen our partnerships and make us more determined to share the opportunities that we have working together.\u201d<\/p>\n
