On November 16th we had the pleasure of welcoming Minister of Justice and the North Sea, Paul Van Tigchelt, on the occasion of the Day of the Entrepreneur. 

Lotte and Frank Ysebaert started with a company presentation and then the Minister was given a tour of the company, allowing him to personally discover the production of our ATEX cabinets and energy and lighting solutions.
He also took time for a chat with our employees. 

Lotte and Frank then had the opportunity to discuss with him the challenges they face as entrepreneurs. The Minister entered into a dialogue with them about this.

It was a very meaningful visit for which we would like to thank Unizo and the Minister!

After the fire of July 10, the Ysebaert team worked hard to resume our work as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, everything is up and running again.
All staff are back in the office and our building has been completely cleaned.
Visitors can therefore be received again.

Production of ATEX cabinets restarted on 7 August and employees are currently working hard to clear the backlog.
Due to the fire combined with the holiday period, we will have a few more weeks of delay here.

Thank you for the many statements of support and your understanding.

In addition to its LED searchlights SL1 and SL2 (see report of February 27), Luminell also offers a range of high-performance "dual head" searchlights with HMI lamps. The series includes 3 basic versions:

• CL25 with 66,000 lumen and 1 lux at 3,200m
• CL35 with 98,000 lumen and 1 lux at 5,300m
• CL38 with 130,000 lumen and 1 lux at 6,100m

The dual head can be configured with 2 HMI lamps, a combination of HMI lamp and UV, or with two UVs. The CL series can be delivered in standing or hanging version and with optional integrated IR thermal camera.

The intelligent control system makes it possible to operate many searchlights and control panels in a network. The system can also be integrated with other onboard systems.

The tried-and-tested design and mechanical concept is very solid and all mechanical elements are built into the housing. This reduces problems due to external influences such as ice and corrosion. The housing itself is made of acid-resistant stainless steel and can withstand extremely heavy marine environments.

You can find more information about these Luminell searchlights here.

Given that fixtures with fluorescent lights (see report of November 21st) are currently being phased out, LED replacement kits have become an interesting alternative. Instead of replacing entire fixtures, the internal mounting plate can now be easily replaced. As a result, a fluorescent fixture can be converted into an LED fixture in just a few minutes. The housing, canopy and wiring can all stay just the way they are.

Switching over to LED offers a myriad of advantages:

• Energy savings
• Long service life of the LEDs
• 5-year guarantee

We also recommend upgrading fluorescent fixtures with LED replacement kits instead of LED lamps. With the latter, the lamp holders often have to be replaced as well, and the wiring adapted; furthermore, they are often not approved for maritime applications.

There are replacement kits for the following fixtures: MIR, MIX, MAX, 1044, 1444, 1445, 1961 and GRX3.

You can find more information about LED replacement kits here:

• https://www.glamox.com/global-marine/led-upgrade/
• https://www.glamox.com/global-marine/led-upgrade/regulations/

We would be happy to advise you about the correct type numbers and prices.

In addition to LED floodlights, Luminell also has an extensive range of motorised LED searchlights.

The SL1 is a simple LED searchlight using 24VDC that is very suitable for work ships and SAR vessels thanks to its very sturdy design and the wave compensation feature that is built in as standard.

Click here for more information about the SL1.

The SL2 is a dual-head LED searchlight that can be installed standing or hanging. The power supply is 24VDC or 230VAC. The SL2 is a very powerful searchlight providing a brightness of 40,000 lumen. The dimmable LEDs have a lifespan of 30,000 hours. The SL2 can be equipped with an infrared thermal camera.

Wind turbines have an important role to play in the energy transition. Today their worldwide capacity is around 29GW, but in 2030 that figure is expected to be 234GW. Europe now has a total installed offshore wind capacity of 23GW, which corresponds to around 5200 grid-connected wind turbines and more than 115 offshore wind farms.

Glamox fittings meet all marine and offshore standards and are therefore ideal for installation on the offshore substation, offshore converter station and the turbines. Their new brochure offers a clear overview of which fittings can be used for what application.

The use of polyamide cable glands in electrical installations is constantly increasing. Metal cable glands are currently used in the field of EMC solutions. With the new polyamide EMC locknut Wiska now offers an alternative for a polyamide EMC solution. The MagikNUT can be combined with all types of entries with a metric thread and offering much more flexibility for installers. At the same time, it provides high EMC protection and quick and easy installation.

The MagikNUT has a unique design. It has a polyamide outer body and a built-in stainless-steel clip mechanism for EMC shield connections. Due to the use of polyamide, the MagikNUT has a light weight design. Available in black and grey the MagikNUT comes in three sizes (M16, M20 and M25). 

How does it work?
When the locknut is tightened, the stainless-steel clip cuts into powder coating of the housing (or switchboard) ensuring the perfect contact. The claws of the stainless-steel clip provide the necessary contact to the shield. The EMC shield protection is now closed and a continuous contact from the shield to the housing is ensured.
Check it out.

What are the most important characteristics of a good floodlight? Naturally, a high light output is very important, as well as a durable design requiring minimal maintenance.
With an impressive lumen value of up to 54,000 and a system lifetime of 100,000 hours, the new FL70 from Glamox is one of the best options on the market.

By using the latest COB LED technology and LED driver technology, it offers a virtually maintenance-free solution for all high and medium intensity lighting requirements. The product design was subject to thorough heat conduction and dissipation simulations, resulting in optimal conditions for every component and ensuring a long service life.

Our supplier Wiska, with its many years of experience in CCTV video surveillance for offshore applications, has recently marketed a new BTM system (Body Temperature Measurement).

This camera measures a person´s temperature and displays the result on a PC.

It is often used in public spaces, industrial buildings, shopping centres and hotels, and enables one to detect signs of possible infections at an early stage.

The system requires only 3 components: a dual camera, a blackbody unit and a PC. The body temperature is measured at a distance of 3 meters - still with an accuracy of 0.3 °C.

Depending on the product version, the device is able to measure up to 30 people simultaneously and in real time - as a result, the system can also be used in areas with high levels of traffic.

The new LED blue navigation light from Aqua Signal is based on the Series 60 LED navigation lighting. Navigation lights are all about safety. Glamox has developed Series 60 to make worries about failing lanterns redundant.

Long working life

The series is designed for a working life of 100,000 hours at an ambient temperature of +45°C. That is twice as long as the working life of most of its competitors. To achieve such a long working life, the design must be robust and all components must be of high quality. It consists of a high-quality LED driver and driver technology and the use of materials that can withstand rough weather and changing temperatures, such as seawater-resistant aluminium, polycarbonate and toughened glass. The system working life of the LED light source and driver is 11 years of continuous runtime, 24 hours per day at an ambient temperature of +45°C.

Integrated countdown

You don't want to risk a lantern reaching the end of its life or failing while you are out at sea. That is why the Series 60 is equipped with a countdown system that tells you when it is time to replace the navigation light. In order to protect the system against tampering, the timer is integrated into each lantern, while the message is sent to and displayed on the control panel. The system shows the usage of the lantern, and indicates if it has been exposed to cold temperatures or rough weather, as well as conditions with less wear and tear. The system offers extra safety for the vessel.

Low EMC values

There are strict electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for lanterns that are installed close to the VHF aerial. These Series 60 lanterns have a low emission level and have been tested and meet the emission and immunity requirements of IEC 60945.

A flexible choice

Series 60 has been designed to work with the Aqua Signal Navigation lighting control panel, but the lamps offer a great deal of flexibility since they can also be controlled by third party panels (1). The products are easy to install, are secured with just four bolts, while the internal junction box leaves plenty of room for the connecting wires. It can be installed upside down.

(1) Compatibility must be confirmed by the control panel supplier.

Navigation lighting needs to meet quite a lot of safety as well as functional requirements. Without extensive background knowledge, looking for the right lighting can be pretty time-consuming. That is why Glamox has developed a free online tool which guides you to the optimum choice of navigation lights and panels for your specific needs.

The tool takes account of parameters like the size and type of vessel, LED or conventional light sources, type of panel and voltages. You can even set special requirements such as Suez Canal and Panama lights. After going through the simple steps of the configurator, you will receive a report with recommended products for your project. Via this report, you can click conveniently to the recommended items where you will find all the technical information. You can save the report and forward it to us so that we can send you a price quote quickly for these items. Try out the new online tool via https://nlc.glamox.com/.

Wiska has developed a special LED module to replace the incandescent light bulb in the fittings of its 1131 (brass) and 2000 series (polycarbonate).

Bremen is the latest handheld LED searchlight from the maritime lighting brand aqua signal, and has been designed as a luminaire for nearly all kinds of search operations. The energy efficient searchlight provides morse capability for emergency situations at sea. It is certified with the internationally known wheelmark which aims to increase security at sea. The Bremen LED is suitable for life boats and also commercial crafts under SOLAS and MCA regulations. It can be used inside and outside of any vessel. Aqua signal’s searchlight comes with a 5 year warranty.

Application
Handheld search lights are vital tools for night sailing and landing manoeuvres. They can also be used for anti-collision protection when placed on the sails for visibility, and can illuminate odd items in the water or most importantly an overboard crew member. It is mandatory to have a handheld searchlight ready in a cockpit when at sea. A handheld light can fix on someone in the sea while the vessel is pitching and rolling – something which is almost impossible to do with a mounted searchlight.

Maritime requirements
The Bremen LED is designed for use on motor and sailing vessels under extreme environmental conditions. It is used by coastguards and military staff all around the world. The rubber black housing gives it a solid grip, and it is designed with an extended front edge for protecting the lens. The whole housing is impact and shock resistant, non-corrosive and non-magnetic. An ingress protection of IP68 is a requirement when at sea, and it protects the light from dust and is suitable for continuous immersion in water.

The 12 Watt LED module is covered by a clear fresnel lens. As a certified LED searchlight, it is tested for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It is usable with 12-24 Volts.

Mounting
The Bremen LED is manufactured for hand held use, but a clamp bracket for side mounting and a slip-on bracket for deck mounting is available. This search light requires a waterproof deck plug & socket (or cigarette lighter plug & socket) in order to be installed.

Glamox sets a new standard for reduced cost of ownership with-in the oil & gas industry with TX60 LED for Ex zone 1 applications. Its design is perfect for use in harsh areas, with an impressive temperature range down to -50°C up to +55°C.

Replacement 
TX60 LED can be used as a direct replacement for the T8 fluorescent fitting. No new lighting calculations are needed. The mounting fixings can easily replace most T8 hazardous fittings on the market due to the flexible design.

Technology 
The advanced IC driver technology is class leading and offer 100 000 hrs at +45C with no system lifetime limitations. The fixture has an impressive temperature range from as low as -50C up to +55C.
TX60 LED will ensure a safe and high visual working environment for personnel due to its high quality colour rendering.

In order to prevent condensation problems, we recommend using the WISKA VentGLAND. The higher the IP value of a device, the more condensation problems arise, since due to pressure differences (e.g. due to daytime/nighttime temperature differences) inside and outside the device, humid air will penetrate into the device and condense. Using a VentGLAND which compensates these pressure differences resolves this problem.

The VentGLAND can be supplied in brass or plastic and in a range of versions. A VentPlug with the same functionality also forms part of the delivery programme.

More information about how the “Venting” principle works and the products on http://www.wiska.com/en/Products/cat/313/Venting/

In order to safely increase the number of reefer containers on board, WISKA has developed a mobile splitter. The unit is equipped with 2 sockets, each protected with a 20A automatic fuse. The sockets are of the PushIn type, so that the plug is always inserted or pulled out voltage-free. This is a requirement under IEC 60309. The units are also approved by DNV GL.

The mobile splitter is delivered complete with 32A plug, 2 metre cable and suspension hooks.

More and more ship owners and shipping companies have been convinced by the many advantages of LED lighting aboard their ships. A positive “Return on Investment” is at least as important as the more technical advantages (see news item with user experiences).

Glamox Aqua Signal has developed a calculation tool that estimates the payback period compared to conventional lighting.

You can use this tool via this link or contact  Luc Baeyens, product manager at Ysebaert, for support or explanation. We also have models of most LED lighting on display in our showroom. Ask Luc for a demonstration.

In an earlier news item, we already reported to you about the new LED TL60 luminaires, and now we’d like to share two user experiences with you. The first from Hoëgh Autoliners, which equipped their 6 most recent ships entirely with LED lighting. The second user experience is from the Atlantic Viking, a “factory trawler”.

 The primary reasons the owners chose LED lighting from Glamox Aqua Signal were:

• Energy savings of 50% on lighting
• Savings on maintenance costs (changing lamps)
• Better light, thus better working conditions for the crew
• 5-year guarantee
• Quality of the products
• Environmentally-friendly (less emissions)

The FX60 floodlight manufactured by Glamox Aqua Signal comes with the most up-to-date LED technology. It is suitable for use in hazardous areas (hazard zones 1 and 2). By comparison with conventional floodlights it needs no maintenance, has a longer service life and it is also more efficient.

As the control units are often the weakest element in LED lighting solutions, we have equipped the new FX60 with an innovative driver technology. This facilitates the optimum system efficiency it promises and makes it possible to operate the floodlight in extreme temperatures ranging from minus 50 degrees to plus 55 degrees Celsius.

Comprehensive tests have moreover demonstrated that the maintenance intervals required for the FX60 – when used on offshore facilities, for example – are at least five times as long as those of conventional floodlights. As floodlights are frequently installed in areas that are difficult to access without scaffolding or the help of industrial climbers, the extended maintenance intervals of the FX60 floodlight will reduce operating costs enormously.

More information is provided by this datasheet and the product section of our website.

The TL60 LED is an innovative watertight LED luminaire. The special designed housing for LED application, optimal heat management and long life time, makes the TL60 a "one of a kind" solution for demanding applications.

Thanks to substantial energy savings, this luminaire has a short payback time on investment compared to a conventional luminaire.
