Miniaturised, ultra low voltage systems
Electrical safety is not only a necessary condition but is
also defi ning a new trend, for indoor and outdoor systems
alike.
Electrical systems that use ultra low voltage have many
advantages and offer opportunities for the development of
increasingly integrated and sustainable solutions. Safety,
fi rst and foremost: the rating of ultra low voltage electric
circuits avoids creating dangerous contact currents,
especially in parts of the system within easy reach,
thereby ensuring protection against electric discharge.
Safety as well as power and design: the remote driver
frees up space in the device which is consequently more
compact. Even the heatsink, because the driver no longer
produces heat. These two aspects have enabled us to
reduce dimensions and the amount of material, thereby
developing increasingly miniaturised and sustainable
solutions. In&Out.
