Ovia
Ovia adds anti-glare Inceptor Hi-Bloc to its industrial Highbay range
The Inceptor Hi-Bloc is a CCT and power switchable linear Highbay, aimed to deliver high-performance illumination across environments that demand both precision and intensity.
The distinctive diffuser design not only elevates the visual profile of the fitting, but also supports superior glare control, with a UGR rating of ≤22.
The Hi-Bloc’s linear design has been engineered specifically to improve lighting efficiency in tight aisles and long rectangular spaces. Its rectangular form and narrow 72° beam angle focus light directly where it is needed most, ensuring optimal visibility.
For further enhanced lighting control, the programmable remote allows full customisation of lighting, with the ability to adjust PIR detection range and sensitivity, daylight thresholds, standby periods, and hold times, allowing for easy fine-tune performance for maximum efficiency, comfort, and flexibility across different environments.

DW Windsor
Introducing Sierra Solaflex – a new generation in solar street lighting
Introducing Sierra Solaflex from DW Windsor, an innovative solar street lighting solution that combines the simplicity of an all-in-one luminaire with the performance and flexibility of an adjustable solar panel.
The design addresses a long-standing challenge in solar lighting, where specifiers often have to choose between visual appeal and solar efficiency. Traditional integrated horizontal panels offer a clean appearance but limited solar capture, while separate angled panels improve performance but add complexity and visual clutter.
Sierra Solaflex overcomes these limitations with a tiltable solar panel that can be independently aligned to face south, maximising solar exposure and ensuring consistent performance throughout the year. This unique design enables up to two to three times more solar capture, depending on location, compared to traditional horizontal panels.
The range includes three versions: Sierra Solaflex, Solaflex Plus, and Solaflex Hybrid. Each features a 50W Hybrid Passivated Back Contact (HPBC) solar panel with 25 percent efficiency and a 576Wh lithium iron phosphate battery. The Plus model introduces D4i and Zhaga connectivity for advanced control and sensor options, while the Hybrid version combines solar and mains power to guarantee light output in all conditions.
Constructed from recycled die-cast aluminium, Sierra Solaflex is built for durability, with IP66 protection, a marine-grade coating, and toughened glass as standard. The luminaire has been wind tunnel tested for stability, while toolless access and DW Windsor’s SupportTag® system simplify installation and maintenance.
