Signal and lighting devices

When we talk of safety, caution is never enough. Especially in a domestic context, in which the subjects involved in accidents are often not adults, who are generally more attentive, but children.

This is why we need to ensure that photocells and blinkers are installed on automated systems for gates and garage doors so that objects and people in the range of movement can be detected and signalled.

When we consider such as straightforward and everyday gesture like returning home by car, we realise that there are various situations in which someone inside the garden may fails to notice that the gate or up-and-over garage door is opening, and that they must move away from the vehicle transit area.

Special precautions must also be taken when there are poorly lit areas: two blinkers should always be installed rather than just one, so as to better signal the automation system’s movement and limit the safety risks for small children or pets in particular.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE LIFE OF A BLINKER

The duration of a blinker varies in relation to the atmospheric agents to which it is exposed, the quality of its constituent materials and the care with which it was made: it is possible to find blinkers that are twenty years old but that still work perfectly!

A blinker is made up of a bulb, an electronic circuit that makes it flash and a watertight cover.

Blinkers have no impact on the remote opening and some models are even directly fitted with a built-in radio-control antenna.

THE LIFE RANGE OF BLINKERS – LIGHT THAT COMMUNICATES

The LIFE range of blinkers is made up of the 230 V or 24 V SPLENDOR models in the following versions: SPL VIP, SPLX VIP, SPL and FULGOR.

The main feature that makes these blinkers for automatic gates and garage doors unique on the market lies in their flashing system which differs according to whether the gate is opening or closing, so that anyone looking at them can realise in what direction the gate is moving.

This flashing system is managed directly by the Digital LIFE control unit for models SPL VIP and SPL, while, in relation to the SPLX VIP variant (universal model), the electronic circuit that commands the flashing is built into the blinker itself.

Another exclusive feature of LIFE blinkers for automatic gates lies in the fact that the light communicates with the user also during the control unit programming phases, informing the installer directly on how the installation procedure is proceeding.

The innovative Digital Life control unit makes this flow of visual information possible by interfacing directly with the lighting devices: its advanced software does not require any further boards, as opposed to what normally happens.

Moreover, LIFE blinkers for automatic gates and garage doors are made with premium materials and are exceptionally sturdy. When we consider that the SPL VIP models weigh more than 600 grams, we can realise just how robust they are. This feature guarantees maximum performance and durability, the core qualities defining all models of the LIFE range.

The array of solutions offered is completed by Fulgor, an elegant outdoor lighting system, which also boasts a sturdy structure crafted from highly durable materials. The ability to absorb impacts and withstand any weather conditions makes Fulgor the ideal solution for illuminating the outdoor areas of the house.
