Anyone come across this light fitting?

[Grayza]

Hi all,

Been to look at these light fittings which all seem to be failing.
They have 2 lamps, one centre spot and a circular tube around the outside, both switched independently.
Does anyone know of a suitable replacement or where I can find the same fittings?

Thanks

which all seem to be failing.

or where I can find the same fittings?

Maybe replacing them like for like isn't a good plan, they don't look that old.

As it's Commercial maybe LED would be the way to go.

Alt, Ballasts are available for existing;

How are the units failing?

I like that light, looks good except for the dead fly in the diffuser!
As Snow mentioned, it does look quite modern so worth sourcing the driver/ballast to get back to working.
Can you check with manufacturer?

Looks like by the tested date 2010. Therefore they might be coming to the end of their lifespan.

They look nice as others have said

 

[Grayza]

They are about 8/9 years old. Would anyone know of a LED replacement?
I'll also contact the manufacturer, will need to go back a see if I can find a name on the fitting

What is the diameter of the fitting it looks a bit like a fitting that was speced on a job we did a few years back from Sylvania lighting but looks smaller?

 

[Grayza]

I'm going back tomorrow, I'll take note of the make and the diameter

Kometa 300 but it had PL lamps in the centre.

 

[snowhead]

300, because they're 300mm

They do them in LED now;

To the OP this fitting looked like it not saying it is. Is there no O & M manual available?what is the lamps inside?

 

[Grayza]

Lamps fitted are CDM-T 35W/830 and a TL5C.
Been in touch with the manufacturer, they have said may struggle to find LED replacements, but they do have an alternative LED fitting, bit pricey though.
Does anyone know of suitable replacement LED lamp for the CDM-T 35W/830?

 

[SparkyChick]

What's actually failing on these lamps?

If it's just the electronics, then you may well find it is more cost effective to replace the modules than it is to replace the whole light.

 

[Grayza]

The lights aren't coming on. Ballasts are £102 and £32, new LED replacement fitting £275.
If I could retro fit LEDs, I'm sure it would be cheaper.

 

[SparkyChick]

Personally, unless the existing lights are chewing their way through a lot of bulbs, I'd have a hard time justifying replacing the fittings at £275 a pop plus labour compared to replacement parts at £134 a pop plus labour.

Even if repairing each light took an hour (which looking at, they shouldn't), it's still nearly £100 per light cheaper to repair.

Guess it depends how deep the clients pockets are.

Re the failures,
How are these lights switched, just plain switch or contactor/relay and or last man or timeswitch or BMS?
Is the site supply 3 phase or single?

 

[Grayza]

Lamps not coming on. Ballasts are £102 and £32. Spoken to manufacturer and replacement LED fitting £275.
I was hoping to retro fit LEDs lamps.

 

[Grayza]

Plain switch, single phase.

So what was the male of the fitting?
