The Latest Dazzling Products from JCC Lighting

Packed with the latest in lighting products, JCC has just released the New Additions catalogue.  'Featuring the new collections from one of the UK’s leading lighting manufacturer and distributor, this is a must-have read for all contractors and wholesalers,' says the company.

From low energy showerlights to tough exterior lanterns, these particular products take lighting to a new level.  This catalogue brings new information before the next release of the full catalogue later this year in order to offer the widest choice to our customers now. 

'This year, one of our main focuses is exterior lighting.  The surge in popularity of outdoor living has led to a demand in the products on offer, and so JCC has developed dynamic lighting ranges to meet this demand.'

Firstly, the Helston & Lynton range of lanterns are stylish yet versatile, with the added benefit of being very tough.  Constructed from NY polyamide material with clear polycarbonate lenses, the Helston & Lynton are resilient to harsh weather and saline conditions, making them suitable for coastal environments. 

These lanterns also make use of the Clic-Clac technology which provides a twist and lock assembly, and offers the option to place the lantern either above or below the arm, truly two fittings in one box, to create your own desired look.

Offering a different style, the Jardin wall lantern is a natural clay wall lantern which covers an IP44 bulkhead.  Once again this is a versatile option, as it can be used for either internal or external applications, allowing you to continue the look from the interior into your outdoor area.  In addition, there are three cut-out styles – rectangular, square or oblong – to suit any trend.

Moving to the interior, JCC has added to the FireGuard range with the IP65 showerlight.  A low energy fire rated downlight, the showerlight can be safely installed into fire rated ceilings without the need for firehoods, and is protected against dust and moisture.  With four finishes of white, chrome, brass or brushed nickel, this luminaire is compliant with the new Part L building regulation, so it’s the number one choice for a fire rated bathroom downlight.

From fire rated to European, the new ceramic uplights suggest a totally different style of luminaire.   The Denia and Vigo uplights, as their names suggests, are influenced by the Mediterranean, and wouldn’t look out of place in a Spanish villa. 

Retail and commercial lighting hasn’t been forgotten with the new T5 striplights.  We’ve taken the four most popular T5 fluorescent lamps and made a fully linkable system ideal for cabinet and wall display installations. All luminaires are sold with a smart link connector; this accessory allows luminaires to be seamlessly connected together in a continuous chain.

T5 lamps are very efficient and create improvements in colour rendering, lumen maintenance and significant longer lamp life. This lamp type is ideal for kitchen cabinets, showcases or where space is limited.  The chosen lamp types will also complement most internal dimensions for standard kitchen cabinets. Installation is simple and all luminaires come with a universal fixing kit as standard. The product range has been exclusively designed so as to offer greater ease of installation, safety and high linear output performance.

Finally, the Coral range.  A high performance compact fluorescent luminaire range available in 'Switch Dim' and '3 hour maintained emergency', these luminaires are also available with a glass cover or dropped glass rim.  The emergency versions come with a 3 hour maintained backup.  This commercial recessed range has a twist and lock rim in a white, brass, chrome or brushed nickel finish. 

Dave Dawkins, managing director of JCC said, 'All in all, the New Additions catalogue offers an inspiring look at the new products available.  Luminaires are evolving at an extremely fast pace, and I believe that it’s important to bring these new innovations to the market place, so that wholesalers, contractors and end users know what’s available and have the widest choice.'

The New Way Of Selling Bathrooms

Ideal Bathrooms has launched the second issue of its Ideal Bathrooms Directory.

The concept of the directory is a combination of magazine and products catalogue and it has been specifically designed to make buying a bathroom easier for the consumer by showing a full range of products and designs in an easy to compare way. It incorporates bathroom products from all the main brands in one easy to navigate 'mag-alogue'.

The Directory is a comprehensive 'bathroom book' which gives consumers all the choice they need and the retailer a logical and easy to follow route to guide the customer through the selection process when discussing options in the showroom.

The launch issue was trialed in 2006 through a restricted number of bathroom retail shops. It proved to be an instant success, so will be offered to a wider audience in 2007.

The Ideal Bathrooms Directory gives clear comparisons, information and prices and includes bathroom planning hints and tips, design ideas and practical solutions to bathroom renovation projects.

The Ideal Bathrooms Directory is the ideal aid for those selling bathrooms to the public. Ideal Bathrooms customer services ensure products ordered are delivered next day, virtually anywhere in the country so that installation can be arranged without delay - and the customer will be happy that there need be no wait for their dream bathroom to be ready in time to show off to their friends.

Prices are always competitive and Ideal Bathrooms holds over £5million of stock covering all products in the Directory.

The Directory is supported by a point of sale package, full technical help and advice and a website on which consumers can search for their nearest Ideal Bathrooms Directory stockist.

And there is no need for retailers to hold large stocks of literature from various manufacturers - all with different approaches - as the Ideal Bathrooms Directory gives ample choice for any bathroom customer and is all in the one, simple, customer-friendly publication.
