Niko announces latest generation of low-voltage transformers offering easier installation and energy saving (1/2/2009)

Stand 11G58, Integrated Systems Europe 2009

Niko, the Belgian market-leading electrical company that is making its mark across Europe with its Smart Home Solutions, enjoyed tremendous success at its second ISE in Amsterdam.

Without doubt, one of the stars of the Show on the Niko stand was its new range of low-voltage transformers that are compact, efficient and very quick to install.

This new type of transformer has been planned with energy saving in mind and anticipates the removal of 230 volt halogen and incandescent (filament) lamps from the market. Tests have shown that a 12 volt spotlight connected to a Niko transformer will produce a brighter light yet consume less energy.

These transformers are also very quick to install with Niko’s wire connection system typically saving a third of the installation time compared to the traditional terminal connections. Time can also be saved during the installation by making use of the convenient secondary wire exit.

Niko’s innovative design has ensured that these transformers are suitable for the vast majority of applications. The new range offers a very compact transformer with a diameter of only 38mm and with IP65 standard protection they are damp proof and so can be used in damp rooms and for outdoor applications.

Commenting on the Company’s attendance at ISE, Niko UK's Stephen Calder, said: “We were delighted by our reception at the Show. The timing was perfect for us, as well as the new transformers, we had new motion sensors and wireless smoke detectors on display. The Show enabled us to explain how the new Niko products can be easily integrated into the existing Niko portfolio, as well as demonstrating how easy Niko products are to install and to program."
