Deliveries have been delayed on these excellent units, it is still very cold so a good time to try one, now we can get then readily we will put them on the web site.
We expect them to be great patio heaters with none of the problems of gas bottles etc.
Again we must stress these heat your body!! not the air or the walls or the floor just you!!!
That’s why they are so good and cheap to use.

The twist and lock lamps also known as high spot 50 are a real pain they don’t last very long and use a lot of electricity for the light they produce, the only good thing is that they don’t use transformers so installers like them.
We have a compact fluorescent alternative that is now available in 11 watt and it is superb, it fits in the same hole so you don’t need to change the light fitting.
The light output is superb every bit as bright as the normal lamp but only uses a quarter of the energy and will last 15000 hours so that is 15 times longer.
The cost is £ 11.40 but worth every penny.

Infrared space heater

We used to heat our warehouse with big gas fired heaters, they were noisy, smelly, and heated the upstairs very well but not the ground floor.

One of our supplier reps recommended these infra red space heaters, we were sceptical but tried two of them and they are fantastic, no noise no smells no nasty exhaust fumes, they only heat up people, I know it sounds silly but it really works.

All the packing staff are much happier now they don’t have the noise and fumes to deal with.
We are so pleased we are now stocking them and will put them on the web site shortly.
The ones we have are only 1300 watts which sounds a lot until you put it alongside a conventional electric fire which will be 3000 watts or 3KW.

The only way to be sure is to try one we know you won’t be dissapointed.
P.S. My car broke down over Christmas and I had to take the engine apart, I borrowed one of the infrared space heaters and despite the very cold snap I was able to work in the open garage with no problem.

Menage or school lighting.

This lady used just four of our 250 watt metal halide flood lights for a 60 m x 25 arena. for jumping perhaps the 400 watt floodlights would be better.
This is good feedback as it helps us to make sure the advice we give is accurate, we have supplied floodlights for many schools so far this winter and they are turning out ok.
Please call us if you are looking for a scheme for your school.

Hi Alan
The four floodlights installed and in use. Just thought you might like to know for future reference that I think that for my arena (60m x 25m) they are perfectly adequate for flat work schooling although I don’t think I would want to do much in the way of jumping in that light. The whole job cost just over £1000 (no labour charge in that) so I’m very happy with the result.

Thanks for your help.
