Cooper Lighting and Safety Offers Upgraded High-Bay Luminaire
with Energy-Efficient CFL Models
DONCASTER, UK, October 2010 – Cooper Lighting and Safety, a business unit of Cooper Safety,
has revamped its popular Pacemaker high-bay luminaire, with the addition of new lamp options and
optical attachments to the range and a redesign of the control-gear housing.
Setting a new standard for high-bay luminaires, Pacemaker 2 now offers a choice of compact
fluorescent, high-pressure sodium or metal-halide light sources. As well as helping to reduce energy
consumption, the new compact fluorescent models are available in either high-frequency or digitaldimming versions and can be specified with integral emergency control gear if required.
All discharge-lamp models can be supplied with an optional auxiliary run-up lamp, which strikes
immediately and disconnects when 80% of the discharge-lamp light output is reached.
Optical attachments available for Pacemaker 2 include two sizes of high-efficiency refractor for use
where a direct/indirect lighting effect is required, an IP65 safety glass attachment, a wire guard, and a
self-cleaning aluminium reflector that has been designed to deliver uniform distribution and effective
glare control from elliptical lamps.
Pacemaker 2 features a die-cast aluminium housing with a multi-finned heat-sink construction to
dissipate lampholder heat and improve lamp life. Supplied with a 1m pre-wired lead and a chain
suspension facility, the new luminaire is both quick to install and easy to maintain.
