MK Electric has enhanced its popular Aspect DSC lighting control system with the launch of a 2-channel version to complement the existing 4-channel product. Based around the tried and trusted Aspect range of switches, Aspect DSC has been specifically designed and engineered to be an "e;out the box, on the wall"e; product, making installation quick and simple.
The 2-channel system allows control of two circuits - 1 x 500 watts, 1 x 250 watts, 600 watts maximum ‐ and works with most current lamp types including incandescent lamps, mains voltage halogen lamps and low voltage halogen lamps powered by an electronic transformer.
When it comes to installing the system a number of features make it very contractor-friendly. Firstly Aspect DSC is the only product in the market that will fit into a standard UK 47mm back box. Typically other mainstream products are much deeper, and in some cases physically larger. Second, the system"e;s unique technology eliminates the need for a neutral connection, which means that no mains re-wiring is required. This makes Aspect DSC quite distinct ‐ most lighting circuits wired as a spur do not have a neutral available, making re-wiring a necessity.
For the user it is both a simple and stylish way to control lighting. It is completely self-contained so no inadvertent interfering with other electrical circuits; it can be quickly and easily programmed to store any combination of light levels in four "e;scenes"e;, as well as on and off, and comes with a full infra-red remote control that further enhances the usability of the product.
There"e;s even a ‘holiday"e; mode to replicate normal daily lighting patterns should the homeowner be away for any length of time.
For the contractor, Aspect DSC 2 represents a great opportunity to ‘sell up"e; without the hassle and complexity usually associated with current ambient lighting systems.
