Middle East Update

October 2015 saw Philip Payne return to the Middle East for a number of reasons.
The first is that our group sales operation "Thorlux LLC" had reached its' first anniversary and a general review was required to assess the highs and lows of our first year with 2 x "FWThorpe PLC" Directors travelling to glean first hand a view  of local operations.
The second was to launch the recently Kitemarked Philip Payne automatic Emergency Lighting monitoring and test system - SPECTOWEB.

As previously an event for local specifiers was organised and a presentation delivered featuring the workings of SPECTOWEB and its' compliance benefits to the local UAE fire and safety code. Attendees were given a copy of the new UAE brochure showcasing the products that have Civil Defence Approval across the region.

Probably the greenest light fitting in the world!

Known for it’s ability to navigate around architectural and design obstacles, Philip Payne were delighted to meet the finish requirements for their MF100 external final exit emergency luminaire specified by top consulting engineers K J Tait for The Dormy Clubhouse project at the Gleneagles Hotel Golf Resort.

The striking lines of the MF100 are already a firm favourite with designers as a stylish alternative to conventional emergency lighting solutions. It is normally supplied in silver or Graphite but in the RAL6005 selected by Tait to blend into this unique golfing environment, the product takes on a new dimension.

Primarily used as an emergency fitting, by utilising a 13w Citizen LED the product has found a new application in amenity lighting as perimeter and external landing lights. The RAL6005 colour selected is perfect in this application which on close inspection is also remarkably similar to the famous blazer worn by a select few top exponents of the game but would be equally at home at other lawned venues.

Special colours variants are not new for Philip Payne and many products have previously been selected for use on numerous prestigious and heritage projects.
