Verbatim LED lamps

We stock Verbatim LEDs, we find the quality of their products to be very good and they are very reliable. Check out the range of Verbatim LEDs on our website. What is an LED?

An LED (Light Emitting Diode) is an electronic semiconductor device of a particular material composition which, when current passes through it, gives off light. The first practical LED to produce light with a spectrum visible to the human eye, a red LED, was discovered in 1962. These were red LEDs used for indicators and alphanumeric displays. Since then blue, green and violet light emitting LEDs have been developed and research has concentrated on achieving lower costs with higher light output and efficiency. In order to create the white light needed for general lighting the LEDs are surrounded by phosphor materials that transform the monochromatic light from a blue or near-UV LED to broad-spectrum white light. The development and sale of LED substrates, phosphors and encapsulants are a key focus for Verbatim’s parent company, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Corporation.

The technology behind each Verbatim LED lamp is focused on efficiency, comfort and respect for the environment. LED’s by their nature are more efficient in converting electricity into light. They also have a very long lifetime; less waste is produced, reducing the impact on the environment. The combination of the comforting light that LED lamps produce and the peace of mind which comes with caring about the environment in which we live contribute to the Verbatim lighting experience. All Verbatim LED lamps produce a comforting warm light. They have modern, yet timeless designs and provide a direct replacement of classic incandescent or halogen lamps incorporating popular bases including E27, E14, GU5.3 and GU10.

They are all energy saving, long life, shock and vibration proof and emit no ultraviolet or infrared radiation.They are also all equipped with TCS (Temperature Control System) to avoid overheating and to ensure a full product lifetime.

Wago Connectors - How It Works

Installing a Wagobox can take as little as 25% of the time it takes to install a BS6220 style junction box. All the cables can be stripped back to an installer friendly 60mm before fitting the terminal blocks. The Wagobox uses Wago 222 & 773 Series terminal blocks which are are quick to fit, but as these are also fitted outside of the box there is none of the time consuming fiddling about trying to get the cables cut to size and into position inside a small space. Once the cables have been connected, the terminal blocks can be simply slid into position before securing the cables. The cable gripper is very quick and easy to configure, no screws or fiddly clamp bars in this box! Each gripper slot has it's own black plastic pressure spring that can be installed into one of two slots or simply removed. Use a pair of cutters or narrow nosed pliers to position the gripper spring and then push the cables into position. The cables will be clamped and secure in a matter of seconds.

From the position of the gripper to the choice of the terminal blocks the Wagobox can be configured to suit the job. Connecting LV lighting transformers, distributing power to multiple loads or simply extending an oven circuit are all possible with the Wagobox. The integrated cable gripper can secure flex and 6242Y and 6243Y cables from 1.0mm² to 6.0mm² in seconds. The snap shut lid locks into place and closes the gripper slots preventing any cables from working free. The Wago 222 and 773 Series terminal blocks are completely unlike screw terminals. They are not susceptible to loosening due to temperature cycling, vibration or conductor settling over time. The materials used in the Wago terminal blocks are inherently corrosion resistant and exert a specific pressure onto the conductors that prevents damage to the conductors but still gives a gas tight termination every time.
