New! VIKING LIGHTING on pneumatic mast

2020-10-04

 VIKING LIGHTING

on pneumatic mast

developed by the SVEP company

 

VIKING LIGHTING on pneumatic mast:

So far, the VIKING LIGHTING was mounted on a fixed mast. We recently put the  VIKING LIGHTING  on a pneumatic mast developed by the SVEP company. Such masts can be used indoors, e.g., in workshops or garages, outdoors as lighting for the event or construction site, or for repair works.

New in our offer:

Now, we offer VIKING LIGHTING on the pneumatic mast. We've mounted two VIKING LIGHTING pieces on a pneumatic mast, a product of SVEP. The SVEP company from Bielsko-Biała, Poland, proposed an attractive solution that extends the mast to a height of up to 5 meters.
VIKING + SVEP solution
[caption id="attachment_2266" align="alignleft" width="187"]VIKING LIGHTING on pneumatic mast pic. VIKING LIGHTING on the SVEP mast[/caption] "<yoastmark     Engineers design the SVEP's masts as a modern construction with fully automated folding. Firstly, the new solution is advanced, but secondly, it is easy for one person to operate. pneumatic mastpneumatic mast [caption id="attachment_2264" align="alignnone" width="300"]mechanizm of the mast for VIKING LIGHTING mechanism of the mast for VIKING LIGHTING[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2269" align="alignnone" width="300"]mechanism of the mast for VIKING LIGHTING mechanism of the mast for VIKING LIGHTING[/caption] The above-presented set is equipped with the VIKING LIGHTING LED type 230. For more details on this type of lighting, please go to https://vikinglighting.com/pl/produkt/lampa-viking-l30110-230vac/ However, any VIKING LIGHTING can be attached to this type of mast, depending on the user's needs. For instance, the VIKING LIGHTING has an oil-resistant cable of 5, 7, or 10 meters long. Therefore, it is fitting the SVEP mast. We can supply VIKING LIGHTING with a cable of a different length or parameters.  This is possible because we are a manufacturer of lighting equipment. The SVEP mast can be folded to a transport size, such as a bag, as shown in the photo below. In effect of mast folding, the dimension allows the mast to be transported even in a passenger car. [caption id="attachment_2270" align="alignnone" width="300"]portable mast portable mast[/caption]
Why is it worth choosing this solution?
With the VIKING LIGHTING portable set, you can get a valuable lighting solution for many outdoor works—very light construction. As a result, it is easy to transport and use. In addition, it is noteworthy that the entire mast is aesthetically made and works quietly. Such a mast can be used for minor indoor and outdoor repairs. For example, it can be used to repair equipment at a certain height. In the case of indoor work, such as in production halls or warehouses, our solution will also be practical and economical. To summarize, VIKING LIGHTING on the SVEP mast is an excellent tool for people who provide services in various places—moreover, those who do not want to waste time unfolding and folding complicated platforms.  

VIKING LIGHTING supports field hospital

2020-04-10

Lisbon, Portugal

April 2020

#COVID-19
 

VIKING LIGHTING supports field hospital:

VIKING LIGHTING supported the field hospital in Portugal in 2020. The VIKING LIGHTING manufacturer actively supports the creation of a field hospital in Portugal. In support, VIKING LIGHTING sent portable lighting kits to Lisbon. #TODOSPORUMHOSPITAL is an initiative of Cruz de Malta Portugal, which, together with the RTP (Portuguese TV), seeks donations for the construction of a temporary hospital with more than 200 beds to strengthen the local reference unit in the fight against #COVID-19.

 

Public donations #TODOSPORUMHOSPITAL:

Portuguese organization Cruz De Malta and the television RTP have organized a public collection of donations. The aim is to encourage people and companies who want to support Portuguese Health and National Security Professionals. Therefore, they seek donations to construct a Field Hospital with more than 200 beds. As a result, it will be easier to fight against COVID-19 in Lisbon, Portugal.

LED VIKING Lighting sets for field hospitals:

VIKING LIGHTING is well known for its portable lighting sets. Because of that, we have delivered our LED VIKING Lighting sets to the newly established medical points in Lisbon.

The setting up of this field hospital will be done within Campo Pequeno. Its management will be under the coordination of Hospital Curry Cabral. The field hospital will operate within Campo Pequeno, and its management will be coordinated by Hospital Curry Cabral.

In 2020, during the containment phase of the coronavirus pandemic, Curry Cabral Hospital (together with Hospital de Dona Estefânia for Pediatric Cases in Lisbon and Hospital de São João in Porto) was one of the three first-line reference hospitals for the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 19. Later, many more second-line hospitals were opened nationwide until the mitigation phase.

Curry Cabral Hospital is now managing to meet the Lisbon area's needs. However, they need equipment, such as the 26 field tents, with a capacity for 200 beds. Cruz de Malta, with the help of all, will allow medical personnel to treat more patients. Similar to other countries, in Portugal, the number of suffering from #COVID-19 is still very high.

Why is it worth having VIKING Lighting in medical tents?

Doctors and nurses need to work in a comfortable, light environment. Using VIKING LIGHTING, they can do their daily routines efficiently. Moreover, they can run some medical procedures like injections.

Even though the patients and medical personnel are in tents, the VIKING LIGHTING gives them a bright white light. Most importantly, the unique feature is glare-free lighting. This is important for those who work long hours and are engaged in activities where precision is required.

VIKING LIGHTING can be easily moved from one place to another. In addition, the lighting can be mounted in tents or at the masts. Please see some applications of mast sets https://vikinglighting.com/en/akcesorium/tripode-mast-yellow/

We encourage everyone to support the #TodosPorumHospital!

#COVID-19

 

VIKING LIGHTING in French medical tents:

We proudly inform you that VIKING LIGHTING supplied medical tents in France. The French army has equipped its military-medical tents with VIKING LIGHTING.  To cope with the #CoronaVirus, the French authorities have developed temporary hospitals in tents. VIKING LIGHTING delivered unique lighting solutions to these tents.

VIKING LIGHTING is a source of bright but glare-free light. The light stream is shadeless. Because of these features, the work of medical personnel is more comfortable. We encourage you to watch French TV or the Polish TV TVN24 news. The link to the TV is at the end of the news.

Particular military field hospital developed in France:

In connection with the #coronavirus epidemic, French armed forces are setting up some field hospitals. For example, they have developed field hospitals in Miluza and Malhouse, France. Additional coverage in the link https://www.france24.com/en/20200324-french-military-field-hospital-starts-unprecedented-peacetime-operations-to-combat-coronavirus

Hospital tents have sections for patient registration and treatment. VIKING Lighting has a record of use in field hospitals for over 20 years. Army medical services often use our portable, lightweight lamp as temporary lighting.

Depending on the customer's requirements, and in the case of field hospitals, the army's requirements, Viking lighting can have an LED light source or traditional fluorescent tubes.

Why is it worth using VIKING LIGHTING in medical tents?

The aluminum housing does not heat up. Therefore, the lighting is safe. Medical services appreciate bright, white light worth 4000K, equivalent to natural light. The lamp has a milky shade that helps doctors and medical personnel. The reason behind this is that they are not glared. The light generated by VIKING Lighting is shadowless.

As a result of that feature, it is easier to take care of patients and perform minor medical procedures.

Users can hang VIKING Lighting in series in medical tents and field hospitals. An additional plug we mount on the lamp housing allows VIKING lighting to be easily connected in series. This design will enable you to connect one lamp to another. For more information, click on the link: https://vikinglighting.com/en/zestawy/viking-lighting-for-defense-forces/set-no-3-army/

VIKING Lighting usually creates a daisy chain in medical tents and field hospitals. This is possible thanks to an additional plug mounted on the lamp housing. The plug allows you to connect one lamp to another.

We usually also supply additional power cords, extension cords, and adapters to the conditions of the place of use.

Teknoprod AB produces VIKING LIGHTING and provides lamps with plugs and contacts adapted to your region/country.

VIKING LIGHTING equipped military hospitals with unique lamps. Since 2020, the lighting used in field hospitals in France has plugs adapted to French standards.

Have a look!

research on LED lamps

Conference on Repair and Maintenance Issues

On November 28 and 29, 2019, Teknoprod AB participated in

the XII Conference on Repair and Maintenance Issues in the Energy Sector.

The conference was held in Licheń, Poland. 

More information in the link: https://www.kierunekenergetyka.pl/konferencja,2098,61715.html

During the event, several topics related to maintenance prevailed. Several repair solutions were presented.

Moreover, diagnostics of electromechanical systems, control systems, and supervision of the energy production process were discussed.

Our representatives have presented the results of the recent research on LED lamps sources of light run by the Teknoprod Group.

The typical product for repair is the compact lighting L212 https://vikinglighting.com/en/produkt/viking-l21224v-acdc/

  [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="476"]conference logo conference logo[/caption]

What is the source of light for LED?

Compared with conventional light sources that first convert electrical energy into heat and then into light, LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) convert electrical energy directly into light, delivering efficient light generation with little-wasted electricity. Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources have recently become widely used. As the analysis shows, in most drivers used to control LEDs in LED lighting devices, there is no compensation for changes in the light parameters of LEDs or LED matrices when the temperature regime of their operation changes, although temperature significantly affects the electrical and light parameters of LEDs.

How do LEDs work in physics?

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current flows through it. When current passes through an LED, the electrons recombine with holes emitting light. LEDs produce different colors using various materials that produce photons at different wavelengths. Those individual wavelengths appear as the light of different colors. LEDs use materials that can handle the necessary electricity, heat, and humidity levels.

Our R&D

At the Teknoprod Group, we invest in the research and development of lighting products. Our focus is research on LED lamps. Our experienced engineers are leading ongoing projects that are leading to improving the LED lamps.

For the LED light source until November 2019, we run research on the following:

  • high-efficiency light sources
  • improving lighting quality and energy efficiency
  • luminous efficiency above 100 lm/W
  • replacing traditional light sources
  • weight and size reduction
The future projects will be based on the results of the research on LED presented during the conference for the energy sector. The conference venue allowed us to discuss the issues vital for the key players in the Polish energy sector.  

VIKING LIGHTING in the horse stable

2020-01-28

Horse Stable, Warsaw, Poland

December 2019

lighting tests

 

VIKING LIGHTING in the horse stable, there was a test of LED 212 lamp:

Recently, VIKING Lighting has been a great help in breeding horses. VIKING is the lighting tested in the stable. The employees of the horse farm near Warsaw discovered it. We got information about their opinion after the tests in the stable. In the stable, we deal with moisture, mud, and dust. Firstly, VIKING lamps work reliably in such an environment. Several types of VIKING Lighting are made in the IP54 class. This means it can withstand dust, dirt, and moisture. VIKING Lighting works well in high humid conditions, in dust, and thus in a horse stable. People who work with animals have the comfort of work because VIKING gives a bright but not dazzling light. Secondly, the light is natural white with a color temperature of 4000°K. The light but durable housing of the lamp helps when working with live, mobile animals. For more information, please visit the product website https://vikinglighting.com/en/produkt/viking-l212110-230vac/  

Unique features for stable

The shadowless VIKING fixtures facilitate all the precise jobs. Our lighting was previously tested in a horse clinic in Sweden. The experience of veterinarians in Scandinavian countries shows that VIKING lighting helps perform medical procedures and care for sick horses. VIKING Lighting provides shadowless light. Therefore, it is easier to perform work that requires precision. For sales in Sweden, please contact https://vikinglighting.com/sv/ring-oss-idag/.   

Easy use of L212

In the stable, we can use VIKING Lighting on a workshop stand https://vikinglighting.com/en/akcesorium/workshop-stand-compatible-with-all-lamps-viking/ VIKING offers several types of stands and tripods. A steel portable stand can also be used in the stable. Additionally, coated steel stands are available https://vikinglighting.com/pl/zestawy/workshops/workshop-kit-number-1/ . These stands have wheels and a metal shelf attached. Thanks to this solution, you can leave the equipment for animal care on the shelf and move the joints inside the stable. We can also mount the lamp on a magnetic holder, as shown in the photo below. [caption id="attachment_2953" align="alignnone" width="200"]pic. In a stable magnet holder for VIKING LIGHTING pic. In a stable magnet holder for VIKING LIGHTING[/caption] A stable with a lamp on a magnetic holder can quickly be moved to another place. You can mount the VIKING lamp wherever there is a surface that will hold the magnet. On the other hand, we suggest using a rubber magnet overlay for varnished and smooth surfaces, which protects against scratches, etc. For more information about the holder, please visit https://vikinglighting.com/en/akcesorium/magnet-holder-105mm/  

Summary:

In summary, we must admit that durability and bright light allowed us to illuminate the horses during animal care and work in the stable. After checking the lighting in the stable, the employees were satisfied. Horses too...
