Robus for modern lighting needs

Robus are a leading supplier of LED lighting solutions. Established over 25 years ago, this family business has come on leaps and bounds in that time, boasting a vast range of products all delivered with a the same quality service from a 300 strong work force.  As a leading supplier to the UK and Ireland, as well as South Africa, Australia and the rest of Europe, Robus focus on meeting the demands of their customers, whether this is the commercial wholesalers or the domestic consumer, the level of service stays the same.

Robus boast an impressive array of products, these are listed below:
•    L.E.D Lighting
•    P.L Range
•    Surface fittings
•    Downlights
•    Lighting controls
•    Emergency lighting
•    Track projector
•    Display lighting/Metal halide
•    Bathroom
•    Outdoor
•    Kitchen and Furniture Lighting
•    Lamps
•    Electrical
•    Lighting Accessories

As you can see, the range of products that Robus can offer is extensive and is designed to provide and answer to any lighting question you may have.  So onto the environment, everyone is all to aware these days of the growing cots of industry on the world’s environment, so it is imperative that a company can offer a green solution within its product range, well Robus are no different and in fact they boast a good number of green energy saving products.  Here’s why; inefficient lighting is now recognised as a major contributor to the rise in emissions that may lead to global warming. So it makes sense that if you can produce a light that runs for longer but uses less energy this is not only going to help reduce the levels of ‘greenhouse gasses’ but subsequently the extent of global warming from a lighting perspective and of course the cost of lighting.

The current trend in the lighting market is leaning strongly towards the use of low energy light bulbs with many suppliers of electricity actually sending their customers free bulbs to use and reduce their over all emissions and keep their bills down. Robus have recognised this shift and have responded accordingly, so not only do they remain viable and forward thinking as a business but they also achieve part of their own business strategy and something that is now mandatory – they can become a greener company.  So the Robus range of energy saving lighting was introduced to meet the high demand of the public, the lights themselves last longer than ordinary lamps, they cost less to run and run for longer, they can produce natural light shades (metal halide lamps). They are of course environmentally sound and comply with building regulations, and with all this aside, they are also stylish and modern so will fit into your home or office without too much fuss.  So as you can see, Robus has not only been around for a good while but they have endured and now represent one of the leading lighting suppliers in the world, moving with the times and continuing to strive forward, always looking to the future.

Robus is a well known brand which can supply a wide range of products for business uses such as lighting, associated fittings and much more. Many people will be familiar with the Robus name, but most will not be aware of the wide range of products and business solutions that they can provide.
Many business owners, managers and buyers will be keen to buy items for their company from a well known and respected brand, and Robus is a long established supplier who many people will be familiar with; they may even already have this manufacturer’s products within their business premises already!

Many people may be under the assumption that big name brands cost more than lesser known names, and this can sometimes be the case if you buy directly from the company. However, better deals can very often be found by searching for online suppliers which may be able to offer a wide range of items at lower prices.

Most businesses will find a Robus product that they will need for their everyday operation, and most will need much more than just one! The most basic office will need a range of lighting for both staff areas and display cases, hand dryers for the bathrooms, thermostats and emergency exit signs. These are all manufactured and retailed by Robus, and most good commercial equipment websites will be able to offer a range of products from most categories.

Robus has a particularly large range of different styles of lighting, so for people who are looking for innovative and high quality lighting it can be a great choice. Robus has a good range of both indoor and outdoor lighting, and businesses such as restaurants and pubs will be able to solve all their lighting installation needs from the same source. Indoor lighting such as spotlights and wall fittings will also have a wide range of options and finishes to suit any style of premises. Robus also have a good range of bathroom lights for both public and staff toilets; customer bathrooms may require subdued and even lighting, whereas staff toilets and changing rooms will need brighter lights so that staff can ensure that they are looking their best for work. Spotlights and shaving lights are a good choice for staff bathrooms, and there are also a wide range of lights in different styles and finishes to suit any theme in a public bathroom.

Outdoor lighting may also be necessary in a restaurant or bar, and gardens will be seen much more now that the summer season is coming. Lights placed at a low level such as spotlights installed into decking or steps can look very impressive and will also act as a safety feature to ensure that guests do not trip or fall in poorly lit areas. There are a wide range of outdoor lighting solutions which will keep any premises well maintained and safe, and searching online is the best way to find both the largest amount of choice, and the best prices and offers.

By using three together and a reflective surface to help focus the light the Robus LED Decking Light Kit lights are just as bright as any bulb alternative, at a fraction of the cost.

The lights in the Robus LED Decking Light Kit are 0.12W super bright light LEDs.

Bathroom Heating With A Difference

For today’s article we will be designing the extras of a shower or bathroom. On e-tradecounter.co.uk there is a massive range of electric showers. It is often forgotten that replacing your shower can be the perfect time to make changes to your shower or bathroom.

The first item is Dimplex Delta Corner Mounted Chrome Towel Rail, unlike other towel rails which can take up a large amount of space the Dimplex Delta fits in a corner of the room. This makes it perfect for smaller shower rooms and just for saving space in tighter bathrooms as well. It also makes perfect use of often wasted corner space in rooms.

With a lightweight frame and 200W output the Dimplex Delta has been designed for a quick and easy installation. Using the Dimplex technology the Dimplex Delta heats up faster than conventional towel rails. This means you can have the Dimplex Delta towel rail fitted and working in no time at all.

The biggest advantage of the Dimplex Delta Towel Rails is it compatibility with Dimplex wireless controllers and towel rail regulators. This is the perfect solution to heat any contemporary bathroom or shower room.

You can buy the Dimplex Delta Towel Rail from e-tradecounter.co.uk – Dimplex Delta Towel Rail.

The next item is the perfect and easy to fit in any room. The Timeguard Mirror Mat is easy to fit behind any mirror to keep it from steaming up or becoming foggy. The idea behind this is you no longer have to wipe down the mirror to see into it after having the hot water running or after a shower or bath.

By fitting behind the mirror and producing very little heat the Timeguard Mirror Mat keeps away condensation stopping it from settling on the mirror, this then keeps the mirror perfectly clear. The Timeguard Mirror Mat is a cheap solution for a common problem, not only does it work perfectly but it is a luxury you will always appreciate.

With an IP65 rating they are ideal for in a bathroom or shower room. These five lights can be placed around the room as needed, we suggest in smaller rooms to cluster the lights together for example in a shower room to have two lights over the mirror and then 3 around the top of the shower.

The Robus 12V Shower Light Site Pack comes in three different colours depending on what you need. You can have them with different coloured fittings of white, brushed chrome and chrome. With a max voltage of 50W they are highly economic and cost effective.
