Coal Face and Compact Light Fitting
Back to OverviewBS 588***
The light fittings can be used in areas which offer only little room for installing lighting equipment, as well as for special applications. They may be mounted in any position; different custom-made mounts are available or can be manufactured.
• Impact, uv resistant cover
• Optionally, 3-lamp light fittings are available
• Glare-free
• Cost saving by standard 4-pin TCL fluorescent lamps
• Elektronical ballasts with separate output stages
• Spare parts available

Characteristics
• Enclosure of sheet steel or plastic
• Highly impact resistant cover of high-grade material, with prisms on the inside
• Optionally, 3-lamp light fittings (3 x 18 Watt) are available
• Easy mounting of cable entries by letting down the standard punched steel plate, as this is only secured by a split pin
• Perfect illumination of elemental spots by structured and protruding cover with well-balanced prism support
• Glare-free
• Cost saving by commercially standard TCL lamps (4-pin with socket 2G11) and separately available spare parts
• Mature electronical ballast with separate output stages
• Protection of leads by a new geometry of the light fitting
• By low total weight of the light fitting (5.5 kg) comfortable handling is even possible under cramped space conditions
• Beside using the conventional connection technique with 3 threaded sleeves (M 36 x 1.5) the light fitting can be operated the BöSha plug connection system BS 408***
• Optionally a test switch with line termination (BS 59 M) can be screwed into the version with 3 threaded sleeves
Version "BS 588400" with BöSha plug connection system has additional advantages:
• Big time advantage when connecting the light fittings as they do not have to be opened during the installation
• Plugging in of the system feasible by non-electricians
• When a light fitting is defect through-connection of lead is possible
• Mechanical plug-in connector - therefore, leads can be equipped with plug-in connectors by user electrician
• No additional test switch required because a separate line termination can be attached to each light fitting
• By forced guidance reversal of poles is impossible
• For starting operation no special tools
