  7. 09/08/09 - LED Revolution

    Large contractors are coming under pressure to use energy efficient solutions in the face of environmental demands and rising energy prices.

    Birchwood Price Tools (BPT) have developed an impressive range of LED lighting solutions for the construction industry that deliver huge energy savings versus conventional products.

    Working directly from a 110-volt supply without the need to use a transformer, LED’s offer many advantages for hire versus conventional lighting including longer lamp life (up to 100,000 hours), better shock resistance, no bulb replacement and improved safety (no risk of injury from burning in use).

    Part of the award-winning Defender ‘Evolution’ range the LED launch line-up includes the LED Festoon, which replaces the conventional 60W light bulb on festoon strings with injection moulded fittings. Each fitting has 21 individual high-quality LED’s and consumes just 2.5 watts. On a standard 50-metre string with 25 fittings the LED Festoon saves 1438 watts versus the conventional 60W bulb equivalent – more than 97% less energy!! The Defender LED Festoon is available in both 22-metre and 50-metre options.

    Also part of the ‘Evolution range, the Defender Multi Light is an advanced 3-part solution complete with 64 LED’s in a single lighting head. Pitched against traditional 500 watt halogen lighting it reduces comparative energy consumption by over 90%. In terms of user safety the integral rota-moulded sand/water filled base reduces trip hazards versus metal stands and increases stability significantly. A 3-part mast supports the LED lighting head that extends between 1.5 and 2.5-metres, and secures into the base with a simple twist ‘n’ lock action. The power cable is concealed in the centre of the mast to minimise snagging.

    Despite being in existence for several years LED technology has remained very expensive. However, recent advances have reduced costs considerably, opening up new opportunities in previously untapped areas for LED’s. In consequence BPT’s pricing is ultra competitive, offering exceptional quality at great prices that are comparable to halogen and fluorescent products.

  8. 21/11/08 - Reel Winners

    Birchwood Price Tools has launched a new range of tough, impact-resistant cable reels for domestic and light industrial use.

    Under the renowned Defender brand name the Cassette Reel and Box Reel have been designed to overcome the limitations of traditional cable reels.

    Flush set panel sockets are recessed into the impact-resistant casing to protect both plugs and sockets from accidental damage where they might otherwise be sheared off. An easy wind anti-jam retraction system gathers up unwound cable to offer the user a tidy storage solution which protects the cable and minimises trip hazards.

    The neon power indicator shows that there is live power to the unit. Thermal overload protection keeps users safe.

    Available in various 110V & 240V with length options from 10 to 20 metres and in a choice of 2-way or 4-way sockets.
