This ROBUS GOLF LED Bulkhead Surprised Me

День тому

Bulkhead lights are one of the mainstays of the electrical installation world, but with familiarity comes... well... familiarity!
And so it can be tough to get excited about them when one lands on your desk to review. However the Robus Golf Express has some really clever features to help make installing a breeze and your life as an electrician much easier.
Joe Robinson reviews and installs the Robus Golf Express demonstrating all its versatility and adaptability.

Nice bit of kit. Robus are onto a winner

@andyrutherford203 Місяць тому

All the other light manufactures should aim for this. NOT use the smallest screws known to man and needing 3 hands to hold it all in place when stood on a ladder in the cold

@efixx Місяць тому

Brilliant isn't it? 😃

@chrisfs150 Місяць тому

You just need to man up. Or go be a plumber for goodness sake. 😂

@TheChipmunk2008 Місяць тому

Also, (again for other manufacturers) STOP INCLUDING PHILIPS SCREWS, we use pozidriv here...

@johnmilla358 Місяць тому

Ksr 333 and the saxby 95542 are very similar. This one though seems to be built with the installer in mind more so over the others on offer

@AndrewLumsden Місяць тому

👍👌 Precisely what my church hall has been looking for, for underneath it's entrance canopy! Thanks.

@chrissharpe2106 Місяць тому

I install almost exclusively robus golfs for bulkheads and this looks like a winner to me. Only manufacturer I’ve found that doesn’t like to use a different screw for every part meaning I don’t need 12 screwdrivers just to take the bloody thing apart.

@Mike_5 Місяць тому

The fold up design of the LED PCB is a first for sure especially when you are attempting to install it on an external roof space like a porch

@AndrewStrydomBRP Місяць тому

Definitely not a first, I've installed a couple of bulkheads that are like this, albeit with screws instead of a clip.

@efixx Місяць тому

Clever isn't it? 😃

@Mike_5 Місяць тому

@@efixx definitely designed to make the install easy

@professionalineverything Місяць тому

The merrytek microwave sensor, don't make it too sensitive as it will detect your neighbours movements (don't ask how I know.)

@TheChipmunk2008 Місяць тому

Yep, can see through stud walls/doors .... and also sensitive to wet vegetation unlike a PIR... (when the sensor is used outdoors)

@professionalineverything Місяць тому

@@TheChipmunk2008 can it trigger if I put it in the microwave.

@efixx Місяць тому

Sounds like an interesting back story here... 🤔😂

@professionalineverything Місяць тому

@@efixx I didn't change the sensitivity as it works as a sensor light so if you walk up to the door the lights inside the home come on, no floods needed.

@Dog-whisperer7494 Місяць тому

Nice 👍

1:44, minor pedantry: not an end box, a through box ;)

@efixx Місяць тому

Always appreciate minor pedantry! 😃

@HeathenGeek Місяць тому

Are there any rules / guidance recommending these should be installed facing downwards, not outwards from a wall? Asking because I've seen these used to replace the old rectangular fluorescent bulkheads in stairwells and these are blinding when fitted on a wall compared to what was there.

@leodavis5886 Місяць тому

These have been around for ages

@ChrisWright7701 Місяць тому

Is there a maximum number of lights that can be controlled on the switched output?

@TheChipmunk2008 Місяць тому

Almost certainly but good question :)

@deang5622 Місяць тому

Manufacturer says on their website the maximum load is 400 Watts which is 20 standard luminaries.

@efixx Місяць тому

Thanks Dean. 👍

@paulasser1589 Місяць тому

What’s the IP rating or did I miss it ?

@AndrewLumsden Місяць тому

What is the refresh time? When it has been triggered, then goes off, how soon can it be triggered again? If someone walks under it while it is still on, does the time reset to the beginning of the selected duration?

@efixx Місяць тому

I believe it can be retriggered straight away and will count down from the last movement detected. 🤔

@TheChipmunk2008 Місяць тому

@@efixx Yes that is the behaviour of those Merrytek sensors, similar to PIRs

@HeathenGeek Місяць тому

6:09 Hmm. . . looks like you could drill a hole in the lid and use it as a dust catcher when drilling out downlights 🙄

4000k 15W and they should last a long time

@gadgetman36 Місяць тому

4:42 It's 4000K that's Natural or Neutral White, not 3000K which is Warm White.

@deang5622 Місяць тому

Actually it is not. Natural white is daylight on a sunny summer's day which is around 6000 Kelvin. Some manufacturers might call that cool white, but that 6000 or 6500 is the standard temperature for daylight balanced photographic film which gives natural accurate colour rendition. It's up to each light manufacturer to name their colour temperature. Fluorescent tubes which are sold as daylight balanced are typically between 5000 and 6500 Kelvin.

@MVCuk Місяць тому

Why ROBUS copy KOSNIC so much ???

@deang5622 Місяць тому

Because they don't have patents and therefore Robust can legally do it?

@blow0me Місяць тому

And are all internal items, including the led array readily available for spare parts to repair when it goes faulty ? You know, to be environmentally friendly ?

@blow0me Місяць тому

pity as well that most wall lights, led's especially, most light shines perpendicular to the wall, straight out....not so much to the ground. So light pollution always worse
