GlassGuard® helps Dalehead Foods to reduce energy and maintenance costs

The new fittings provide significant maintenance savings in addition to energy savings as diffuser covers and clips are no longer necessary. The new industry compliant fixtures incorporate GlassGuard BlackBand® long life shatterproof lamps manufactured to BS EN 61549 Fragment Retention Lamp Standard providing a totally glass-free environment.

Engineering Manager Shaun Thorp explains why he chose GlassGuard® IP65 fittings over traditional standard fittings with diffusers.

“Like a lot of Engineering Managers I have never been a great lover of diffuser covers as they always degrade and need replacing when they get old. The plastic clips break as well or get lost and you end up with spending extra money you can do without. On top of this we came to realise that the real risk of glass contamination from possible lamp breakage was during periods of maintenance when the old diffuser covers were removed and unprotected glass lamps were being fitted. What we liked about the GlassGuard® IP65 fixtures was the five year shatterproof lamp option with a 24W energy reduction, no more diffusers to replace and an improvement in light distribution. Fit and forget trouble free shatterproof lighting which meets the requirements of all safety and hygiene audits.”
