Degree of protection or IP
In 2019 we have upgraded our range of professional lighting systems and started using connectors with IP67 protection. Due to the higher degree of protection, the connectors of the Easy FIX system are designed slightly differently than the original IP44 ones, so they cannot be interconnected. However, both series are fully adapted for outdoor use. If you already have some of our Easy FIX light chains or stalactites at home and need to purchase additional pieces to complete your decoration, you have nothing to worry about. We have reducers in our range for interconnecting connectors with different IP.
A reducer is actually a short black or white cable with an IP44 connector on one side and an IP67 connector on the other. To choose the right reducer, you should always follow the direction of the current, i.e. from the source.
Examples of using a reducer
If we need to connect a newly purchased IP67 chain to an existing IP44 system, we use an IP44 to IP67 reduction.
On the other hand, if we want to connect a newly purchased IP67 source cable to an IP44 EasyFIX light system that we have had at home for some time, we use the IP67 to IP44 reduction.
ECO FIX
Another of our range of professional lighting systems is the Eco FIX. This product range is suitable for outdoor and indoor use and there is a strong emphasis on aesthetics. The cables are transparent and smaller and larger crystals are used in some light strings, which, due to the refraction of the light, look beautiful even during the day when the decoration is not lit. Most often, these light elements are used to produce 2D or 3D light decorations.
The connector connection of the individual segments is the same as in the Easy FIX series, the connectors match the colour and size of the cable.
The Eco FIX system is low voltage, it requires a transformer to operate, which converts 230V from the socket to 24V or 36V depending on the product type. The transformer box has a connector on one side for connecting the light segment, and a connector on the other side for connecting the source cable, which plugs into the mains.
HOBBY LINE
Hobby Line is a range of lighting elements suitable for domestic use, both outdoors and indoors. A thin transparent or dark green cable and tiny LEDs are the main features of this system. Thanks to the light weight, the installation of the lights is easy and does not require the use of anchoring elements, usually just plastic pull-tabs or various eyelets or hooks.
The connector connection of the individual segments is the same as in the Easy FIX series, the connectors match the colour and size of the cable.
The Hobby Line system is low voltage, it needs a transformer to operate, which converts 230V to low voltage. The transformer is part of the power supply in this series and you can choose from several types. 6V for basic wiring and 12V for larger installations, with or without animation. The transformer without animation simply plugs into a socket and the light system connected to it lights up. For the transformer with animation, you can choose from several preset functions at the touch of a button, such as dimming, different types of flashing, gradual lighting, etc.
In addition to light chains suitable for Christmas trees, this range also includes stalactites, light curtains and curtains ideal for illuminating windows.
