2007 represents our 40th year in business as a privately owned independent company and brings with it the largest ever product launch in the history of D.G. Controls Limited. With introductions into virtually all corners of the range, these items add depth to our already comprehensive portfolio – certainly larger than any other UK beacon lamp manufacturer. The two main themes of this launch are low-energy signalling/status, consolidating our lead in LED signalling provision, and extending our range of Explosionproof products to include new high intensity xenon strobe beacons as well as a 118dB Explosionproof sounder.One of the hot-topics at present is the recent announcement by the EU to ban the use of incandescent lamps by 2009. Whilst we believe that this is concerned only with domestic lighting, and that Health and Safety applications will be exempt, we do recognise the need to ever strive for more efficient lighting solutions. To this end we have for many years invested heavily in LED technology and now offer a multitude of devices that provide a level of performance, as measured in Lumens per Watt, that exceeds that of equivalent incandescent-lamped products. Needless to say, this is not limited to simple small indicators but extends across the whole deegee range to include Stacking Beacons, Aircraft Obstruction Warning, Direction and Status Panels as well as traditional Rotating Mirror beacons.To round off this current selection of new products we are also introducing a range of panel mounting DC sounder elements as well as post-mounting facility for our range of Status Indicators and Beacons.
