Circular Design & Speedy Install Make HARBOUR EXPRESS a Double Threat

Have you heard of the marginal gains theory? It’s the idea that small improvements, even just 1%, can add up to significant results over time. This concept isn’t just for sports and business - it’s transforming our lighting and boosting your installation speed. Our New Product Development team applied many small but highly effective improvements to numerous key features in our HARBOUR corrosion-proof range, resulting in the new HARBOUR EXPRESS.

HARBOUR EXPRESS not only offers an impressive 30% faster installation compared to other leading brands, but it boasts a robust modular design that has earned it TM66 certification. Additionally, we have introduced a new wireless way to snap-in an emergency pack! In the spirit of marginal gains theory, let’s explore those finer details to see what makes this luminaire a true double threat.

HARBOUR EXPRESS is TM66 Certified for Circular Design

In 2021, we launched our Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) project, detailing seventy-seven actions to enhance our environmental and social responsibility. A key part of this initiative is sustainable product design. Take a look at the features that earned HARBOUR EXPRESS a TM66 certificate for circular design.

  • Highly modular, with an easily removable LED gear tray and plug-in sensors. Emergency modules are available, along with spare clips and fixings.

  • The modular design continues with our switching options: PIR, photocell sensor, and microwave on/off sensor featuring 3 step dimming (corridor function).

  • Features robust polycarbonate housing that is IK10 and IP66 rated, significantly enhancing its durability and lifespan.

  • Offers four wattage options (8W to 60W) and CCT3 selection (4000K, 5000K, 6500K), reducing waste and extending lifecycle by enabling versatile reuse and preventing landfill.

  • Delivers a remarkable efficacy of 170Lm/W with an excellent lumen output at lower wattages, conserving energy and achieving an improved C EPREL energy rating.

  • Boasts an impressive L70B50 rating of over 100,00Hrs, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.

30% Faster Installation Compared to Other Leading Corrosion-Proofs

HARBOUR EXPRESS is engineered to streamline every step of your installation process. But what does this look like in practice? This corrosion-proof luminaire features over a dozen optimised components designed to make your work easier and faster. Here are some of the key innovations:

  • Safety Straps: We incorporated safety straps that hold the diffuser at an angle, allowing for safe and easy adjustment of internal components during installation. This means you can keep your hands free for customisations, rather than juggling the diffuser.

  • Stainless-Steel Retaining Clips: The two-part retaining clips are designed to safely hold at an angle for easy closing of the luminaire.

  • Cable Tidies: Clean wiring means fast wiring. That’s why cable tidies are strategically placed throughout the luminaire.

  • 4-Way Push-In Terminal Block: This can be mounted in multiple locations as needed, with each slot providing a simple press-fit into the base for seamless loop in, loop out wiring.

  • Multiple Mounting Options: You have the flexibility to adapt the installation to various environments, ensuring the luminaire fits securely in any setting.

  • Marked Drill Points: Marked centre points on conduit entry drill points ensure maximum precision during installation.

  • Tool-Free Glands: Located at the back and ends of the luminaire, these allow for a stress-free setup.

  • Optional BESA Box Mounting: Ensures seamless integration with existing electrical infrastructure for a clean and professional installation.

  • Adjustable Bracket: For added flexibility, an adjustable bracket for suspension or ceiling mounting is included.

A First of its Kind: Wireless Snap-in Emergency Pack

While many marginal gains have been made to speed up your installation time, there is also a standout innovation: the True-Plug&Play Emergency Pack! This is the integration of an emergency pack base into every single HARBOUR EXPRESS. It means that all you have to do is snap-in in the emergency pack accessory to complete the upgrade, eliminating messy and unnecessary wiring. With sustainability ingrained in our product development, we expanded the longevity and functionality of this product with a LiFePO4 battery. Not to mention, both Manual and Dual Test functionality are included. A complete emergency version of HARBOUR EXPRESS is also available.
