How To Maintain High Light Fittings Safely
Matsushita saw lighting access as a problem a long time ago and developed a system that eliminates the risk of falling when maintaining light fittings -Luxlift lower them to floor level.
The system utlises high tensile stainless steel and a sophisticated failsafe system to ensure up to fifteen years trouble free operation and total safety even if power to the unit fails.
Maintenance procedures in factories, shopping centres or other buildings with high ceilings, are now simplified and time reduced, as the luxlift eliminates the need for heavy scissor lifts, high ladders or scaffold.
At the flick of a switch on the control panel, individual light fittings can be lowered to the floor for maintenance or replacement and then raised back into position.
There is a range of luxlift accessories available including light fitting adapters, white powder-coated covers, and angle brackets for flush mounting.
Matsushita believes that the luxlift can reduce maintenance costs in most in-situ environments through reduced machine down time in factories and eliminating customer disruption in public areas.
Luxlift also offers increased operator safety in buildings where the only alternative is high ladders, such as cinemas and theatres.
