My Carpet Pal Rotovac 360i Turning Heads Everywhere!

Leave a comment

The carpet cleaning industry has really come a long way since the invention of the first hand held carpet cleaner in 1956 invented by Mr. Harry Rench, CEO and founder of Rench Manufacturing Company. The first designs had some very evident limitations that Mr. Rench tried to fix and improve the drycleaner’s for carpeting. The vacuum had a very nice appealing look to it and was equipped with an electric cord. Most people at the time couldn’t afford to buy these newly invented cleaning machines and Mr. Rench rented the cleaning machines out to people wanting to clean their carpets. It was like a dream come true for most people with carpeting in their homes.

Over the years, the carpet cleaning machines has gotten a lot better and with the technology of the twentieth century; Mr. Rench’s ideas of carpet cleaning has taken off to a whole new level of carpet cleaning. One of the concepts that really helped the carpet cleaning industry become the great industry that it is today is the advent of the portable extractors and later the truck-mounts. Prochem industries are one of the major leaders today in the technology of carpet cleaning using the truck mounting delivery system. Practically, all of the carpet cleaning professionals today use truck-mounts with the jet spraying system.

Mr. Steve Allison invented the first carpet cleaning wand which he referred to in his patent applications to a method and apparatus for cleaning and rinsing carpets. This was actually invented in 1991 and assigned with the United States Patent Office. Mr. Allison invented a wand that could actually clean and dry the carpet at the same time which was really unbelievable at the time. The concept of the wand was like washing your clothes and drying them in the same machine; it was truly another big breakthrough in the carpet cleaning industry. The wand actually helped to revolutionize the carpet cleaning industry and it is still a major force of the carpeting business today still while we talk at this moment.

Since the invention of the carpet cleaning wand; several companies have industrialized the wands – making them lighter and with better water jets. Prochem has one of the best carpet cleaning wands today on the market with their six (6) jet titanium light weight wand which sell for about $1,299.00 retail. These new revolutionary carpet cleaning wands are a carpet cleaners dream come true. Now there’s a new kid on the block and it was invented by Mr. Cliff Monson called the Rotovac 360i and the Hyrdamaster RX-20. These rotary giants have taken carpet cleaning and steam cleaning to an entire new level in the cleaning business.

The Rotovac carpet cleaning machine is an excellent tool for carpet cleaning. The machine delivers effortless, self-propelled cleaning with the touch of a hand. The rotary heads thoroughly deep clean carpet with hundreds of multi-directional movements. The 360i is light weight at only 39 pounds and super easy to operate. The Rotovac is definitely turning heads in the carpet cleaning business and the companies using this technology will do a better job cleaning your carpeting in general. There is no comparing the wand and the 360i Rotovac. Simply put, if you want your carpet cleaning company to really turn your head with their cleaning habits; chose a company that use the Rotovac technology for standard carpet steam cleaning procedures.

The history of carpet cleaning and carpet cleaners is very unique. My Carpet Pal residential and commercial cleaning company have invested a lot of time and resources in advance technology and cleaning tools in general. We use only the best tools and provide the best services for your home and business cleaning needs. Our company is located in Southern California but we are in the process of expanding our services daily. Everybody knows that the wheel doesn’t have to be re-invented in order to move you from one place to the other. That’s why we are not trying to re-invent the wheel, but, we are trying to re-invent how we can clean your home or business with maximum speed and effectiveness. We are looking to provide you outstanding service with a smile.

My Carpet Pal is one of the leaders in using high quality technology in the carpet cleaning business. We are ready, willing, and able to go the extra mile for you and your love ones; every step of the way.

Laundry 365 Can Deal With All Hygienic Barrier Washer Extractors

Leave a comment

Laundry 365 have taken great care over the years to build a business that is based around what the customer requires both in terms of equipment and in the service and advice that is needed to run a successful laundry. The company ethos has been to use the major attributes of its main employees to ensure success not only for Laundry365 but also for the customer because it is deemed that the 2 are totally and should be totally reliant on each other. When the company was formed it was built by staff that had years of experience in working in the laundry environment and this is still considered its greatest asset.

One of the areas where the company has been particularly strong is in the supply and fitting of the larger washing machines and this is very much the case with specialist situations. Laundry 365 is able to supply some excellent equipment for Hygienic Barrier Washer Extractors with equipment of all sizes up to individual loads of 180kgs. Laundry 365 is proud to have the staff which can advise on all aspects of the washers and recommend the correct size and accessory equipment that will ensure the very best for the operation and they can even supply a full design for the laundry itself if required. By definition Laundry 365 stands for 365 days a year and that is the system that the company set up on so that they could supply a service 365 days a years as they recognise that companies using equipment like this do not have the luxury of working when they want but have to meet the demands of all year working. The large barrier machines work in hospitals, care homes and large hotels. Basically anywhere that people live or stay in large numbers.

The large hygienic washer extractors are free standing machines with large stainless steel cabinets and stainless steel drums. Because the commercial washing machines are severe workhorses they have an oversized frame, drum and bearings with a large door opening for easy loading and unloading. The micro-processor controls are now almost infinite in the number of options that can be programmed into the system and Laundry 365 is delighted to have so many options and is only too pleased to be able to pass on the benefit of their experience to the customers. Any Hygienic Barrier system will require specialist soaps and detergents and the equipment is able to deal with up to 10 different compartments in the automatic soap dispensers in order to provide the right ingredients to remove any contaminants. Security of the wash can be checked from sample water taps and the process can always be simply and adequately checked up throughout the intended cycle.

Laundry 365 are used to installing large commercial laundry equipment into areas where there are strong environmental as well as safety and security provisions to be met but whether it be large or small the same dedicated team will drive forward the project to ensure a great working result as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

Stainless Steel Gets Switched On With The Electrical Counter

Leave a comment

The market for electrical switches and sockets grows larger each day and it is now a possible to change the appearance of the electrical service systems within a house or office regularly without breaking the bank. Electrical Counter has developed a full market range of switches and sockets to meet what is likely to be an ever increasing market place. The company has developed their Internet marketing system to be able to supply the fullest range of electrical equipment at a moment’s notice off the shelf and Electrical Counter is pleased to be able to meet almost all requirements at a time to suit the customer. The electrical market demands instant attention with orders required tomorrow and quality of the highest order and safety standards to match. Electrical Counter can deal with all of these as a matter of routine and has also been able to develop prices which match any company and are usually cheaper. Some of the latest prices for switches and sockets are only 30% of what they were a short time ago.

The Stainless Steel range is one of the ranges that have gained from this reduction in prices and Electrical Counter is pleased to have been able to negotiate with their manufacturer’s rates, which are a great advantage to the industry, the customer and the supplier. The stainless steel ranges are quite interesting and do give a completely new outlook on the design and installation of the electrical service systems. The stainless can be of a brushed steel type of finish which looks good and lasts particularly well, it handles well and the fitting is easy and there is even a range of screwless face plates which have nothing to break the face plate but the rounded switch toggle. There is also stainless steel of a semi polished or plain finish, which again look good and provide a different appearance. The brushed steel switches are particularly good for their resilience as they will last for a long time without any deterioration. The attributes of stainless steel are many and obvious and now metals can be used safely in switches and sockets the options are endless.

Electrical Counter considers the stainless steel range as ideal for the office and workplace as the finished effect goes particularly well with the latest designs of the modern office. The Nexus Metal switches and sockets fit well into the dado rail system which allows the service to be placed just where required for easy access and shortest cable links. Appearance is everything these days and the quickest way to change the appearance in a building is to change the fitments that are present. The electrical service fitments from switches and sockets to data and telephone points are easy to change and these will make a great deal of difference to the overall view of the building. No decorating is required and the whole operation will be carried out in a very limited time but the results can be present for years to come.

Lamp Post Electrical Has The Gate Opening Answer

Leave a comment

Lamp Post Electrical now stock the excellent Came range of electric gate opening systems, which have made such an impression on the market place. These units are of excellent quality and allow the house entry gates to be used instead of being an ever open adornment to the property. Lamp Post Electrical is particularly pleased to be able to supply the Came Frog AE-P24 Kit which offers the complete underground fitting kit for a pair of swing gates. This particular unit offers the ability to open a pair of gates up to 3.5 metre wide for each leaf using a 24v DC motor. The easy opening and closing of gates ensures maximum usage and they will always be kept closed which gives security within the property and privacy as the front garden can in many cases now become an area which can be used without being
overlooked.

Lamp Post Electrical are delighted with the operational system of the Came electric gates and the silent running of the gates when opening and closing them is such that there is no possible annoyance to the family or neighbours. The Came Frog AE-P24 Kit is an underground kit which means that the swinging operating units are fitted into the ground at the outside end of each gate and the gate is mounted on top of the unit. The advantage of this is that the unit is particularly neat and tidy in its appearance or perhaps that should be non-appearance as all the operating mechanism is below ground and a flat top plate to the unit is all that is visible to the outside world. This installation provides the basis for a good reliable set up which will last for years.

Gate operation takes about 16 seconds so that it is slow enough for pedestrians to get out of the way although there is obvious safety cut outs if there is a problem and also release mechanisms if required. The typical opening is 90 degrees but this can be extended to 130 degrees with a suitable adaption of electronics and mechanism. The system is a robust one and the gate mechanisms can support gates up to a weight of 400kg for each leaf of the gate, which allows the installation of some very substantial gates.

Lamp Post Electrical - http://www.lamppostelectrical.co.uk – have worked hard to get the range right and Came are an excellent company who provide a good quality product which has been greatly enhanced by the Frog electronic control systems. The advantages of the operation of the Came Frog system of underground fitted gates is that they can be used from a distance to open and close them at will with the Came gate remote, which is ideal for the car driver arriving or leaving the premises.

It also allows the home owner to let in visitors from inside the house either by car with a double gate opening or by pedestrian access with a single gate opening. Lamp Post Electrical is proud to be able to stock such an excellent range of products, which will enhance any property to which they are installed.

The Electrical Counter Promote The Advantages Of Elnur Storage Heaters

Leave a comment

The Electrical Counter have built up an excellent range of products to be supplied directly via the internet from their excellent web site, the base of the business is as the name suggests, anything that the electrical trade might require usually, off the shelf. If the product required is not obvious on the web site then an excellent call service will establish whether and when it can be delivered. This is certainly the case with the Elnur Storage Heaters, which The Electrical Counter company is very pleased to supply from its standard in-stock store. This resurgent business in storage heaters has developed because of the inspired development of the latest Elnur Storage Heaters. These Elnur Storage Heaters are now very efficient in energy usage from a low cost electrical source and they come in a range of sizes from 1.7KW to 3.4 KW power rating and also in a range of manual or automatic controls.

The Elnur Storage Heaters are of a superb slim line design that fit very well in any standard room and the small size of the units mean that they do not take up the whole of the wall space. The controls are easily accessible and the units acne work as a stand-alone unit or fixed to link in with other storage heaters as part of a fully controlled central heating system. The Electrical Counter is delighted with the quality of the Storage Heaters and the complete range of manual and automatic units that are available which enable the installer such a wide range of options. The safety systems are such that the Storage Heaters have automatic safety power cut outs when the grills, where the heat is released, are covered with clothes or other items. The Electrical Counter supply Storage Heaters where there is an automatic control system on the heat input to the heat sink so that just the right amount of heat is input into the storage heater for later usage. Elnur have developed the range of Storage Heaters to meet all occasions and the sophistication levels are now so good that they heat input on the best units is controlled so that it takes account of the weather so that heat is not wasted in periods of warm weather or left short in periods of excessive cold. If this is added to a full central control system the maximum flexibility in heating control is possible, Hyco Water Heaters are also another great addition to the system in order to maximise your homes overall efficiency.

The Electrical Counter is pleased to note that these units fit extremely well in conditions where there is a surfeit of electrical power from a solar panel system where the daytime electricity is basically the property of the householder during the day and hence is free.

The market is ever increasing and the boiler fuel systems are not only suffering price rises from the energy suppliers but things like gas checks are now advised annually for house owners and are imposed by law on the house rental business. The Electrical Counter notes that the costs of each system when all the equipment costs, energy costs and service costs are taken into account are very close. The Electrical Counter welcomes any enquiries on the use of Elnur Storage Heaters.

Hand Drying From Electrical Counters

Leave a comment

The electrical fan hand dryer has become a standard piece of equipment in most public bathrooms and washrooms and there is an ever increasing array of products and it is very important to get the right one for the job in hand. The Electrical Counter are supplying some excellent systems from Hyco, which do a great job at a very reasonable price. There have been many discussions and surveys on the use of the hand dryer and comparisons are still made between using paper towels or a mechanised dryer in order to dry people’s hands in public places. The good and bad parts of the hand dryer usage are wrapped in a few main areas. The first is a cost item as a busy washroom can use a mammoth amount of paper towels in a day and these cost thousands of pounds a year as people tend to use them wastefully and abundantly and the overall cost of a Hyco hand dryer from Electrical Counter is very much lower with costs in the region of £15 per annum and there are some great reductions in the purchase price with some of the best of today’s offers.

This reduction in cost makes the Hyco hand dryer unit invaluable. In terms of the environment studies base the use of paper towels and hand dryers as being roughly comparable with each other which sounds surprising at the start but towels are easily made from replaceable sources and do decay when used or can be recycled and electrical energy is quite high for the drying process. In terms of hygiene the paper towel is still slightly better as the hand dryer tends to blow the germs around rather than be wiped off with the towel. The discussion on this topic goes on but it is generally viewed that this is still small in comparison with the cost advantages and the cleanliness that the system brings to a washroom rather than the paper towel chase across the washroom floor. Electrical Counter have aimed to choose the best units which not only do the job but look good and are compact enough not to take over the washroom and that these units will reduce the costs of the initial spend and also provide the best and safest hand dryers that are available.

One of the newer hand dryer systems is the Hyco Jetstream system which counteracts most of the problems mentioned above by using a concentrated Jetstream of air at a velocity of some 250 miles per hour which dries the hands within 10 seconds, the hands can be seen by the introduction of an LED lighting system that illuminates the hands. This results in a very low energy usage from a low 1.5 Kw heater and the use of a very short working time. It is this short time that reduces bacteria spread and keeps the environmental consideration to a very low level and the cost savings over the paper towel or the cloth laundered towel systems are exceptionally good. Electrical Counter will advise on which system will give both the cheapest operation and the least environmental or hygiene considerations.

Electrical Counter Now Can Supply Elnur Storage Heaters Of Great Versatility

Leave a comment

It is fascinating how the increases and changes in technology can turn a system that seemed to have passed its heyday into a completely different and thriving system. The Elnur storage heaters systems are one of the most surprising elements in the distribution of energy used in the heating of household residences. Central Heating became just that, with a central boiler feeding a number of satellite radiators to supply heat throughout the house. Gas boilers became particularly cost effective due to the low price of gas compared to oil and electricity and bottled or tankered gases and the gas boilers have become very energy efficient units. Electrical Counter remembers when the storage radiator started as a pile of refractory bricks in a box which were heated by electrical heaters overnight and slowly released their heat as the cooled down. The system was effective to a certain level but temperature control and cost efficiency were limited.

The systems that Electrical Counter supply today have completely changed all this and the latest systems can be all singing and all dancing with a great temperature control and heat on demand. The heat input into the Elnur units which Electrical Counter supply is still carried out overnight to take care of using power in the low cost period that runs from about midnight until the early hours. The latest Elnur Heaters are excellently insulated with modern materials and heat losses from wastage are minimal. The control of heat release has now changed out of all proportion and the units are often fitted with the latest fan systems which control heat release but also allow a quick heat release. The days when a person comes home to a cold house and had to wait for hours to get warm have long since gone. The usage of a dynamic storage heater has now allowed the systems to be fitted to digital programmers so that the whole house can be warmed according to the demands of the users. This is a far cry from the system where the heaters were heated at night and slowly released the heat during the full day at a steady slow rate. The Electrical Counter systems encompass the whole house and the programming entails a full central heating system which can match the best gas heated systems without any of the waste gas products and flue problems associated with such units.

Lamp Post Now Stock Full In-Line Manrose Extractor Fan Range

Leave a comment

Lamp Post Electrical supply all electrical equipment for the power circuits of the house and office and the Internet has allowed them to build a great business, which supplies the market at prices which are well below those of the standard retail outlets. Their typical website is both informative and descriptive so that a good idea of the product can be quickly gained. Any further information can be gained by e-mail or phone. The delivery service is what the customer wants it to be, but Lamp Post Electrical prides themselves on getting the goods quickly and safely to the customer.

The extraction fan business has become more and more complex over the years as the pollution rules and regulations have become stronger and this will change still further in the next few years as environmental and social conditions become stricter. The rules on extraction fans for the bathroom and washroom areas have always been strict because of the danger of water and electricity mixing and passing electrical currents to earth. The introduction of the 17th edition RCD controlled circuits has helped matters, but most installations still use off site extractor pumps to get rid of the unwanted steam and smells.

Lamp Post Electrical have supplied the Manrose CFD200T in line extractor fan for some time and it is a very reliable piece of equipment. The pump works on a typical 4 inch diameter extraction tube that connects to the waste exit of the bathroom to the extraction fan itself. The power of the extractor fan is such that it extracts some 85 cubic metres per hour very quietly and continuously. The fan is fitted in lime and into the line and extraction is not a problem as it will deal with all the typical problems that bathroom extractor fans may have during their normal operation. It should clear away all steam developed by the shower or the bath and leave the room dry, it will also remove obnoxious smells.

Lamp Post Electrical supply all the fittings and fixtures for the operation and the only real problem is where to fix the extractor fan into its final position as this obviously needs to be outside the bathroom. It can be fitted below the floor or above the ceiling but there will be a need for a suitably sized space and also the requirements in the case of an emergency so that future access may be possible to repair or replace easily. All that then remains is a suitable access for the extracted gases to be passed outside of the building through a tube and grill. If there are no suitable access routes then there are some extractor fans which can work in the bathroom or wash room environment without the need for the ultimate protection but these must be mounted so that they cannot be reached when standing in the bath or shower.

Manrose Centrifugal Extractor Fans Provide A Lamp Post Electrical Supplies Stalwart

Leave a comment

Manrose are a company with a good history record in supplying everyday fans for the business and household market place and Lamp Post Electrical Supplies are delighted to keep stocking one of the stalwarts of the extraction fan markets in order to supply this ever changing market place. The Manrose centrifugal fan range has almost become a standard as it is able to deal with waste gases and extraction smells produced in the appropriate places. The centrifugal fan is the major part of this design with a central motor and controller which is built with fans with totally sealed bearing sets which require zero maintenance and bearing supports which last a long time. The centrifugal fan is basically a workhorse of the commercial or household market providing a strong fan which will operate continuously and effectively over many years. The areas where they come into their own are the commercial kitchen where vast quantities of waste gases need to be extracted (although there are smaller areas where they are equally useful).

Manrose Extractor Fans are recommended by Lamp Post Electrical Supplies as it is designed to aid and work effectively in pushing waste gases over long distances without a severe loss of pressure and therefore a loss of effective waste gas removal. They are very good at overcoming the pressure restrictions that have by nature been built into bends and grilles that may be inserted over the trunking range without serious reduction in pressure. This is particularly useful in some of the most modern commercial kitchens where the waste gas source is easy to pinpoint but the gases have then to be moved over long distances to extract then from the room. The reasons they have to be moved so far can be many but the usual reasons are that care must be taken not to remove the kitchen smells and then pump them straight outside the room where people are working or where they can percolate into a neighbouring house and remove the problem from one place to a neighbouring area. A failure in this region can bring problems resulting arguments with neighbours and potential guests or even prosecution by the local government officials.

Brushed Stainless Steel Switches Route For Electrical Counter

Leave a comment

Electrical Counter, the retailer of electrical goods for the power installation business has developed a very strong product range which is now taking advantage of a full list of the latest in materials and designs for all the major electrical furniture. At the present moment Electrical Counter has some excellent ranges of switches and sockets for the retail and trade counters and the full range can generally be bought off the shelf on the Internet with a next day or 2/3 day delivery cycle dependent on what is required or requested. Any queries are just a call away. The market is ever changing and with the changing design the wheel has almost turned full circle and there is an exceptional line of brushed stainless steel switches and sockets that have been developed. Originally metal switches were quite a disaster and many electrical shocks were received by the users, some of them very serious. The problem with the replacement plastic switches and sockets is that these days they appear a little mundane and can get discoloured.

Time has changed the beast and the latest stainless switches are attractive and very safe, the insulation and switch design has now totally changed and these are great working switches, which have fully accepted modern technology and are able to meet all the most stringent regulations. Electrical Counter is pleased to be able to supply a range of these switches in a very good looking brushed stainless steel finish. Brushed stainless steel is an excellent material, which generally allows a very smooth finished product to be produced usually in a slim line form. The finish of smooth stainless steel sometimes accepts fingerprints and can easily look scruffy when it is handled but brushed stainless steel is an excellent material and handles much better. It does, of course, need cleaning but it does look very good in situ and when fitted throughout the building with matching sockets the result is stunning. The metal switches also have allowed the development of the screwless switch and socket. This range uses a push in, pull out fixing which uses no screws and keeps a very clean face across the whole of the switch or socket. This line is likely to be very popular in the near future.

Electrical Counter is delighted with these ranges and at present is able to offer most of the range at a very much reduced price than the previous listed prices. The price reduction is at least 50% on the lower priced items and can be up to 75% on the higher cost items. This saving gives an excellent opportunity to change the full lighting and socket system of a household for about 30 to 35% of the list price which is excellent value and offers a rare opportunity to make such a change. Electrical Counter have worked very hard to develop this business and they are able to offer the great names and latest designs of the electrical manufacturers at very reasonable prices so that they are able to meet the demands of users and installers alike.

The Electrical Counter stock a vast range of electrical wholesale products in the UK including top quality Nexus sockets such as Nexus metal sockets and Nexus plug sockets ranges.

Museum Uses Lilitab iPad Kiosks to Engage Visitors

Leave a comment

As part of “The Sound of Sax” exhibit, The Museum of Making Music has installed several Lilitab iPad kiosks to share videos and sound clips to entertain and educate visitors about the process of music creation. The Lilitab kiosks contain headphone mounts on the stands, providing enhanced sound and improved visitor interactions.

“It was a great solution”, says B.J. Morgan, Marketing Manager at The Museum. The iPads® remain fully charged when plugged into an outlet using the integrated charging cable in each stand. Kiosk set-up is quick and easy; just attach an iPad, secure the head unit, and plug in the power cord.

Installing different home button access face plates regulates visitor interactions; full web access, a single site or specific application can be configured for varying visitor experiences.

Temporary installations are easily managed with the lightweight and portable Lilitab kiosk. The modular design of the mounting solution provides for several types of visitor stations: wall mounted, surface mounted, tabletop or floor stand.

Full ADA compliance assures the Lilitab provides easy iPad® interactions for wheelchair visitors.

The Lilitab iPad enclosure head unit securely locks the tablet in place. Every mounting solution has the option to be bolted or cable-locked to the floor or other fixture. Integrated into the Lilitab design from the very beginning, museums can be sure their iPad® resources are safe in public venues.

The Lilitab iPad kiosk is versatile, modular and easy to customize. The Lilitab Tabletop turns any desk or table into a self-service station with quick installation; the Lilitab Surface is for a more permanent solution for a wall or counter. Keyboard and printer shelves are also available as added accessories. Optional banners to promote special events or seasonal activities enhance the visitor experience even more.

The Museum of Making Music, founded in 1998 by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), was developed to showcase and celebrate the music products industry. The Museum provides opportunities for cultural enrichment while preserving our musical heritage through special exhibitions, innovative concerts and educational programs aimed toward a wide range of audiences.

Lilitab is a group of designers, engineers & business people passionate about the use of tablet computers in public-use environments. With their compelling interface, compact form-factor and economical price-point, there are all kinds of new and unique uses for putting interactivity into the public space. Additional applications from Lilitab include aniPad credit card reader and iPad ID scanner.

Founded in 2011 by Adam Aronson, an award winning kiosk designer, Lilitab is committed to delivering the most secure, functional and stylish security enclosures for ANY tablet. Adam has been designing custom kiosk enclosures for public-use environments since 1994 in San Francisco.

Museums can engage visitors using the affordable and sleek Lilitab iPad kiosk.

Safety Improvements Required For Home Electrics

Leave a comment

It is interesting to note that in a University electrical laboratory students are limited to dealing with 50v and 3A maximum, yet we are allowed free to use 240v and 13A with virtually no restrictions at home.

So one would question why all new dwellings have to have modern consumer units fitted by law, and older houses do not? Time for a change maybe?

Well you do not have to wait for the law to change as getting your old fuse box changed for a consumer unit is a very straight forwards job for a competent electrician, and should take them less than a day to fit.

If you have just bought an older property then changing an old fuse box over should be your first priority, particularly if you are going to be doing a lot of refurbishment, which may put a higher than normal load on the electrical system.

Firstly there is the safety aspect with regards to electrocution, a modern consumer unit features Residual Current Devices (RCD’s) that sense any current imbalance between the positive and neutral conductors, such as you drilling through the live cable in a wall. The beauty of them is that they sense this imbalance in milliseconds, and cut out the power before it has had chance to electrocute you. This alone for me is a good enough reason for anyone to replace their fuse box as soon as possible.

Secondly unlike a fuse box, the modern units have mini-circuit breakers that do not blow out like a fuse but just trip out, and unlike a fuse they can be instantly re-switched on by flicking the breaker back up. This means goodbye to trying to find the right grade fuse wire in the dark, and no more running out of the right grade of fuse wire full stop.

They can also be fitted with Residual Current Circuit Breakers with Overload protection (RCBO’s), which also sense current overload. Whilst the fitment of RCD’s in new boxes is mandatory, the next logical progression would be for RCBO’s to also be made mandatory to fit.

Also the safety benefits in replacing an older fuse box with a new consumer unit far outweigh the cost of fitting, particularly with new eight way units starting from as low as £35 plus the cost of the RCD’s and Mini-Breakers.

By fitting a new consumer unit you greatly de-risk being electrocuted or having an electrical fire, so do it today before it is too late.

Never Miss a Moment as dabs.com Introduces the Latest Compact and Digital SLR Cameras from Olympus

Leave a comment

The new range of retro styled yet technically impressive digital cameras from Olympus are now available at UK computing and technology specialist dabs.com, including the E-P3 PEN SLR and the E-PM1 PEN Mini.

Well known for their innovative and stylish digital SLR cameras, as well as compact‘mini SLRs’, Olympus has been a popular photography brand for many amateur and professional photographers over the years. These latest additions to its line have piqued the interest of many technology blogs and review websites already.

The E-P3 is being marketed as the new standard for the well known PEN product line with a number of new and innovative features. However, it remains in-keeping with the quality and style that hark back to the early PEN models of the 1960s.

The standout feature on this 12.3 Megapixel digital SLR camera is the FAST (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology) AF, officially the fastest auto-focus sensor on the market. It means that photographers can catch precious moments or high-speed action shots with the E-P3 and not have to worry about slow auto-focus missing the most important pictures.

dabs.com is also going to be selling the slightly more compact E-PM1 micro four thirds camera. This smaller and stylish addition to the PEN family allows owners to catch professional SLR-like images but without the added complexity of a larger SLR, thanks to its newly redesigned interface which even allows previews of effects before the image is captured.

The E-P3 will be available at dabs.com either as body only or with one of a selection of compatible lenses. The E-PM1 will be available from early Autumn in a number of different vibrant colours.

Vita Audio Radios Sales Hit Record High at Dougbradyhifi.com

Leave a comment

Stunning looks, exceptional build quality and an outstanding performance prove a winning combination, with sales of Vita Audio integrated music systems soaring at Dougbradyhifi.com.

Beautifully crafted integrated music systems rarely score top marks across the board, but Vita Audio Systems are an exception. The brand was formed in 2006 and rapidly became one of the leading suppliers of D.A.B radios, with fans enamoured with the exceptional sound quality and sleek retro styling of its digital radios and music systems.

“It’s rare to find such a compact music system with such a high technical specification, let alone one that offers an outstanding performance across the board” says Doug Brady Product Manager Stephen Oakes. Ever since the Vita Audio R4i was released online and at the Cheshire store it has been a bestseller, with customers impressed by the power and quality of sound which can come from such a small music system.

The R4i is the most comprehensive music system from the Vita Audio range, offering the full range of digital media options including a slot loading multi format CD player, USB port for playback of music files and iPod dock in addition to the DAB/DAB+/FM tuner which is a standard feature of the full Vita Audio range.

The Vita Audio R4i combines technology more frequently seen in high quality separates than compact music systems. Vita Audio developed its own powerful speaker and amplifier system for the R4i, using custom designed Class A-B amplifiers developed with discrete component technology. The result is crystal clear vocals, impressive bass thanks to an integrated subwoofer, and good separation of stereo in spite of the close proximity of the speakers, and the 80 watt output is more than enough for a small to medium sized room.

The R4i offers impressive sound and maximum functionality; however the Vita Audio R2i is equally well accomplished, and another bestselling Vita Audio model at Doug Brady HiFi. The R2i may not have the output of the R4i; however its 20 watt output is impressive, and features enhanced 3D sound processing and tone equaliser to get a custom sound to suit all tastes.

The R2i is a regular winner of the full complement of stars in industry reviews, and has picked up many “Best Buy” awards for its design and performance. “It may be small but it really packs a punch, and has surprisingly good range and impressive sound for such a compact system” says Oakes. The R2i features two pairs of gold plated phono inputs, clock and alarm functions and an intuitive remote control and rotodial controller for ease of operation.

Both the Vita Audio R2i and R4i are sold in three attractive veneer finishes and sleek retro styling, and their looks and outstanding performance have proved to be a winning combination at Dougbradyhifi.com with Via Audio sales soaring and hitting record highs.
