Downlight Mitt passes Australian Standards!

PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 31, 2009 – Downlights are the most inefficient lights you can put in your house.  In summer they make your living area warmer, and in winter they make your living area cooler.  Open air connectivity between your living area and the roof is a big "NO! NO!".  These two areas should be separated as much as possible, because the roof is there to protect you from the elements, not to join you to the elements.

This is the under lying problem with downlights and we have focused on resolving these issues head on.

The Halogen Mitt and the LED Mitt;

* Passes certification for AS/NZS 60598.1 and AS/NZS 60598.2.2
* Up to 2 hour fire rating
* Fixing mount supports Iron core and electronic transformers
* Installable from above and below ceiling
* An insulating material with R-value of 0.5 which significantly reduces heat loss.
* Blocks draught spreading from the most windy parts of the house(the roof).
* The Halogen Mitt includes a specialized Lamp which directs heat downwards and provides the same light output as a standard halogen dichroic 50W lamp but only consumes 35W.
*The LED Mitt includes an LED Lamp which produces great light output compared to a 20W halogen Lamp with only 5W of energy consumption.

"Your light fitting is either in the living area or in your roof, there can be no in between.  The Halogen Mitt finally resolves the ugly inefficiencies of downlights, cost effectively."
