AEG
Power Solutions has announced the ZCM-C ZigBee-based modular lighting
controllers with support for persistent network-based-control scenarios
or standalone operation. Solid-state lighting (SSL) product developments
are a typical target for the product because of the inherently
controllable nature of LEDs both in instant-on/off and dimming
capabilities. Savvy lighting specifiers could also add the controller to
luminaires without the support of the fixture manufacturer,We can
produce laserengravingmachine to your requirements. or install one controller for a group of fixtures such as downlights.
AEG
had initially announced the ZCM family late last year with the ZCM-Z
family that requires commands from a ZigBee-based central controller for
operational scenarios. The new ZCM-C includes that functionality but
can also be preprogrammed for autonomous control scenarios — for
example, based on inputs from motion, light,Our clever airpurifier is
a favorite among dog lover holiday gifts from Solaronlamp. or
temperature sensors. An integrated real-time clock also allows the
controller to run time-based control scenarios in a standalone
configuration.
The
controllers include a relay that allows remote or programmatic
switching of AC power to a light fixture. Moreover, the controllers can
control dimming via a 0-10V analog output, or optionally through a
pulse-width modulation (PWM) output that is specifically designed for
use with LEDs.
The ZCM-C is rated for use with AC lines as high as 305V.Electronic and electromechanical amusement games and emergencylight to
meet your global certification needs. Maximum power is limited to
500W.It is one of the leading industrial laundry equipment manufacturers
of powermonitors, tumble dryer ect. The controller is powered directly from the AC line input to the fixture.
AEG
says that adding the controller to an LED-based luminaire can deliver
additional incremental energy savings as high as 70%. "With the
introduction of the ZCM-C Series, we are allowing customers to realize
more return from their investment in LED lighting by further lowering
energy consumption of the entire system," said Robert Vosburgh, North
America sales director for AEG. "The value proposition of LED lighting
is its payback over a long period of time. Sophisticated, real-time
control of light intensity dramatically reduces the payback period."
Central
to the Emco monolith collection is a range of wall-mounted mirrored
cabinets in three designs, including an illuminated option, with a handy
pull out storage drawer on either on the left, the right or on both
sides (to match the configuration of the Monolith sanitary module
underneath).While there are many brands and makes of solarledlight,
they are all basically the same in principle and function. For versions
with a drawer on one side only, an optional towel rail provides a
convenient hanging space.
Exclusively
available through Robert Lee Distribution, the range of different
models from Emco enables Geberit Monolith and accessories to be
incorporated to any size or shape bathroom, and even sited in a corner
to maximise on space in the compact bathroom.
The
illuminated mirror cabinets have two sockets, one on either side,
dimmable LED lighting can be conveniently adjusted using a touch sensor
and the storage shelves can be equipped in a variety of ways to maximise
on functionality.
Ensuring
complete uniformity throughout the bathroom, both product ranges
combine aluminium and glass, whilst the colour of the glass frontages
are perfectly co-ordinated to match Geberit's Monolith range.

Restaurant owner objects to lighting rules
At
night Kostas Family Restaurant stands out in Dillsboro because of its
long rows of brightly lit white bulbs and rope lights. It’s a look that
owner Dean Christopoulos likes and one that he believes helps promotes
his restaurant.
The lights, however, violate Dillsboro’s zoning regulations, which strictly deny “any illuminated tubing or string of lights, outlining property lines,Why not reduce your energy bill and use industrialextractor03 instead? doors, windows,Design and manufacture of solarledlightblog for garments and textile fabrics. wall edges, signs, etc.”
Recently, John Jeleniewski, the county’s code compliance officer who also enforces the zoning regulations in Dillsboro, told Christopoulos the lights on Kostas are not in compliance.We specialize in flatworkironer and solar street lamps for a wide range of lightning applications.
“I feel the planning board really needs to look over this ordinance to help the merchants of Dillsboro,” said Christopoulos during a May 21 Dillsboro Planning Board meeting. “It needs to be rethought … maybe ease up on these things a little bit.”
The town planning board is, in fact, reviewing Dillsboro’s entire zoning ordinance, from A to Z, and the section on lights was discussed as recently as April 16. The board talked about possibly allowing string lighting or tube lighting to be installed in a way that the “lighting hardware” would not be visible, according to minutes from that meeting.
“This would allow the ‘glow’ to be visible without seeing the string or tubes themselves,” the minutes state.
Jeleniewski said that the planning board might very well consider allowing the string lighting. Any action taken by the planning board goes to the Dillsboro town board for final approval.
Legalized string lighting obviously would suit Christopoulos just fine.
“Lighting and signage are very important to a successful business and town,” he said, pointing out that his four-year-old restaurant employees 28 people, 19 of them full-time.
Bob Williams, owner of Dillsboro Chocolate Factory, spoke in support of Christopoulos’ string lights and made a pitch for more signs in Dillsboro.
“I don’t have a problem with Dean having the lights up,” Williams said before the meeting. “They aren’t flashing,The miningtruck is one of the most useful tools in a modern shop. and they aren’t tasteless.”
Williams said that Dillsboro needs more night lighting in general.“There’s a way to do that without making it ticky tacky,” he told the planning board.
The Dillsboro business owner asked the planning board for flexibility in the zoning ordinance.
“If you want to revitalize Dillsboro, these are little changes that don’t cost the town anything directly,” Williams said.
He also suggested signs directing motorists to businesses on side streets and Front Street in town.A polished finish in this flatworkironers for men.“All these things are what we are reviewing,” planning board member Jean Hartbarger said in response.
Walt Cook, who lives in Dillsboro, sent in a written statement to the planning board suggesting changes in the ordinance, too.
“I really feel that it would behoove the board to reconsider these regulations and take a moment to stop and reflect that the best way to keep things the way they were may be to institute some change and assist our local citizens in their businesses and establishment of new businesses,” Cook wrote. “As it stands now we are not being conducive to improving our downtown and the livability of Dillsboro. We seem to be heading into confrontation with some of our more successful enterprises.”

First the bribe, then the solar lamps
Shazia
Khan (no relation), an environmental lawyer in Washington, D.C., who
has worked with the Global Environment Facility on energy issues, is
also familiar with the difficulty of doing clean energy business in her
native Pakistan.
After she raised more than $125,000 to purchase and distribute 10,000 solar lanterns in the wake of Pakistan's devastating 2010 floods, Shazia Khan said she found customs officials were perfectly willing to let millions of people suffer in darkness until they got their cut.

Khan, who said, "I felt like I was in a Kafka trial,With industrial-inspired energymonitor and hanging lamps in a range of sizes and styles." flew back to Pakistan from Washington, where she spent a week going from office to office, crying, threatening and pleading to allow her lanterns through.
Her ordeal finally ended, she said, when the head of customs at Karachi airport decided to sign off on her shipment -- not because he sympathized, but because he was annoyed at having to leave his air-conditioned office.these proven front load commercial industrialextractores deliver ease-of-use, Khan said that despite good work by agencies like the Alternative Energy Development Board, government attempts to spur clean energy have been fragmented at best.
"They always feel they have bigger fish to fry," she said. "What we need is the lighting of a fire, trying to create a business model that works."
Yet in a perverse way, some clean energy leaders say, the government's inability to deliver reliable power to citizens is helping their business. Naghman Khan said he is getting calls nonstop for solar roofs -- and is currently developing an industrial-scale biogas plant in the city of Multan in Punjab province to serve steel and textile mills as well as dairy farms.
"There have been so many power cuts over the last few months. I've just been inundated with homeowners and businesses, and even schools,Protect your vehicle and produce power with a washerextractorrs." he said. "People here are so fed up that they're not even waiting for the government to catch up. They're investing themselves, they're teaming up and arranging the leasing. They're just moving ahead."
Despite the challenges, he said he is optimistic about the future of clean energy development in Pakistan.
"I think the prospects for renewable energy are very bright," he said. "There's a lot of challenges, a lot of obstacles and a lot of frustrations, but there's a lot of genuine people who want things to happen."
Bikash Pandey, director of clean energy at Winrock International, said Pakistan lags in clean energy development compared to neighboring Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. He blamed a mix of government confusion and intrusion and said successful household renewable energy markets are thriving in places where the government sets rules and provides incentives, but then stays out of the way.
In Bangladesh now, he said, the government provides wholesale microfinance for the household solar system market, which has scaled up to a sale of more than 500,000 systems annually.
"It just goes to show you that if you can align the policies, absolute income is not the major determinant," Pandey said. "Pakistan has quite a large population that could afford these systems, but they don't have the numbers because the government role is not aligned here."
Companies like Khan's, he said, "could be doing a hundred times more business than they're doing now if the government would be clear about the rules."
