There is more to lighting than just lighting . Using the right connector for your luminaire makes all the difference when it comes to ease of installation , criminal maintenance , and next retrofit projects , the squad with P.L. Light Systems say . " We ’ve always used connectors specifically designed to meet rigorous North American safety equipment standards and withstand the rigors of the horticultural environment in our luminaires and cable assemblies . "
fit in to the P.L. Light systems squad , the plug - and - caper design of the Wieland connectors allows for the quick , well-off , and good disconnection of luminaires within a grow facility . " That means saving the cultivator meter and money when it comes to the instalment and/or maintenance of luminaires . "
Wieland connectors have been used for many years within the Dutch horticultural industry , for all the reasons P.L. Light Systems has opted to apply them too : IP protection , wad - and - bid functionality , and electric safety .
" It ’s important to note , however , that not all Wieland components used in Europe are safety licence for utilisation in North America , " they sum up . Certain RST connectors , for model , frequently used for cable television service assemblies in horticultural applications , are not approved for habit in North America . " All Wayland components used by P.L. Light Systems are purchase only through Wieland ’s North American segmentation to ensure they are safety demonstrate to North American CSA and UL standards . "
" Moisture Ingress Protection ( IP ) is essential for any electrical equipment in a in high spirits - humidness surround such as a greenhouse . "
" We always advise growers to ensure that , no matter the reputation of the vendor , when purchase and/or installing any lighting equipment and/or accessories , they always substantiate the products are certify to North American condom standards , " the P.L. Light systems team add . " If you take to partner with a European vendor for example , not all their products and/or components may meet local safety standards and your installation could fail an electrical review . This is because the vendor will ( likely unknowingly ) have sold you element that to all intents and purposes appear to be identical to the components sold locally , but are in fact designed to European standard , rather than North American standards . "
If that happens , the consequence are rather severe : growers will have to replace all those part , prepare for a very dearly-won project and delaying the use of your lighting scheme .
" The right connector can also make it easy to swop between HID or LED technology , offering raiser a great deal of flexibility with their luminaire installation and allowing them to seamlessly throw between HPS or lead luminaires in the case of a retrofit or intercrossed installation . Moreover , working with a local kindling spouse also means you are clothe in the peace of mind that you are dealing with an build , local companionship offer local service and support , " the P.L. Light team concludes .
