What is the difference between HALO 1st Generation and HALO 2nd Generation?

HALO 1st Generation was developed in 2011 and is based upon outdated technology, the 2nd Generation HALO was designed to overcome any flaws that the HALO 1st Generation had and is a massive leap forward in a much improved and more affordable product.

 

What is the difference between HALO 1 & HALO 2?

HALO 2 required power controllers at regular intervals of the lighting which is used to convert the AC Voltage to a DC voltage which energizes the LED’s, the power controllers also provide protection for the LED’s such as voltage surges. The new 2nd Generation HALO 1 does not require power controllers and the AC to DC convertors and other protective devices that the power controllers provided are already built into the strip.

 

What colours are available?

All colours and colour temperatures are available.

 

Can you have multiple colours in a single run of lighting?

Yes, the lighting is fully interchangeable so a single run can consist of multiple colours &/or solutions

 

What lengths are available?

Any length from 1 meter to a maximum of 100 meters can be manufactured according to clients need.

 

Are eddy currents or other electromagnetic charges emitted?

No tests have been carried out to determine this but to date there has been no confirmation of any issues due to this even by engineers who raised this concern and have had the lighting installed.

 

Is theft of the lighting a problem?

The lighting is strapped at regular intervals as a deterrent and to date there have been no recorded cases of theft.

 

How do I connect the light?

Power can be taken from any existing source within the voltage range and the light strip can be directly connected to that with a simple two wire connection.

 

Can the lighting and connectors be submerged underwater?

Yes, the lighting and connectors are 100% waterproof.

 

Where are the lights manufactured?

The lighting is manufactured in China according to orders placed and shipped directly to clients.

 

Can the lighting be relocated and re-used?

Yes

 

If the lighting is installed on machinery does vibrations affect the lighting?

No, the lighting is 100% extruded in silicone and is not affected by vibrations.

 

How are repairs carried out if lighting is damaged?

The affected segment can easily be replaced by another replacement segment, however due to the low profile of only 4mm it is very unlikely that the lighting will be damaged, to date no cases have been recorded.

 

Is the lighting toxic and requiring special handling for disposal?

No, the lighting is not toxic and requires no special handling

 

Is the lighting toxic when burned?

No, the lighting is not toxic when burned, it is flame retardant and self-extinguishing.

 

Are connectors supplied separate and installed on site?

No, the connectors are moulded directly onto the strip light at factory for waterproofing and strength.

 

Is the lighting resistant to corrosive materials?

Yes, because of the silicone extrusion, the lighting is impervious to most corrosive materials as silicone generally is.
