Ionizersluxlift sets a shining example at school gymnasium
26 Jan 2006
Maintenance access to high bay luminaires in the gymnasium at the 7 Kings School in Ilford will now be safer, quicker and less disruptive thanks to the use of the recently installed luxlift units from Panasonic Electric Works.
The luxlifts allow light fittings weighing up to 20kg to be securely fastened to its electric lift mechanism and then automatically lowered and raised over heights of up to 20 metres. This eliminates the need for heavy scissor lifts, high ladders or scaffold - thus increasing safety, reducing maintenance costs and minimising disruption to users of the hall.
As with any high-ceiling application, one of the main considerations has to be the safety and ease of maintenance of the luminaires, as determined by the CDM (Construction, Design and Management) regulations. Luxlift overcomes many of the potential problems of access by avoiding the need for operatives to use access devices (such as ladders, scissor lifts or cherry pickers) to reach the luminaires. Instead, each fitting can be lowered and raised to ground level independently to provide maximum flexibility and ensure a fast response when a lamp fails or a fitting needs to be maintained. For example, an important sports fixture or exam.
