Cooper Lighting is on the right tracks

Pacemaker high-bay luminaires and Tufflite luminaires have been supplied by Cooper Lighting & Security for the maintenance deport of the Nottingham Express Transit tramway. This is the first tram service to operate in Nottingham since 1936 and carried 8.4 million passengers in its first year — well ahead of target. The need was for high-quality illumination using luminaires that are sturdily constructed to withstand the rigours of such an environment. It was also essential to include emergency lighting. Pacemaker luminaires are used at high level, with Tufflite for lower-level use. Emergency lighting is provided by a combination of Menvier Beamlite projectors and emergency versions of the Tufflite luminaire. Among the features of the Pacemaker fittings are a ventilated gear housing for long life and an efficient self-cleaning aluminium reflector to ensure uniform light distribution and control of glare. The Tufflite fluorescent luminaires have high impact resistance and are sealed to IP65 to prevent the ingress of dust and water. Menvier Beamlite units are self-contained beam-projector luminaires with twin swivel lamp heads to illuminate long, narrow escape routes.
