NEW ADDITION TO
WORKING LIGHT RANGE
Festool, which develops high-quality electric, battery and
pneumatic tools for professional users, has launched a new
addition to its working light range, the SYSLITE DUO.
Featuring an angled LED configuration for all-round light
in a 180° scattering angle, it
radiates evenly across large
workspaces. An illuminating
power of 8000 lumen combined with 5000 Kelvin helps
replicate natural daylight
and provides optimal illumination of space on construction sites.
Impact protection and a polycarbonate clear cover prevent damage
being caused by falls, dust and
dirt and large cooling elements
eliminate the hazard of fire or
burning on the contact surfaces of
the light. Transporting the light is
made easy by a robust one-hand
grip and integrated cord holder,
as well as the option of using a
systainer.
Quick to assemble, sturdy and
stable, the SYSLITE DUO offers
a flexible application range by
standing alone on the floor or
on flat surfaces, or when used in
combination with the Festool ST
DUO 200 tripod which is extendible by 2m. It can be hung on
hooks using the suspension on the
rear side of the light.
Perfect for many different trades,
it assists painters in creating surfaces that are free of streaks and
true to their colour. Dark corners,
cellars, roof conversions or floor
areas that are difficult to look into
can be worked on quickly and
without tiring. Joiners, parquet
floor layers, carpenters or floor tilers will also benefit from the SYSLITE DUO as it will enable them
to produce more precise work.

ROYALE REGENTS
INVESTS IN LUMI
Lumi, the new window
system from Apeer,
has not only gained a
new recruit to its retail
network but has also
provided an introduction for the rest of the
Apeer portfolio.
Royale Regents of Leamington Spa is the first company to introduce the Apeer
range into its showroom
as a direct result of seeing
Lumi. The company’s Sukhi
Sanghera said the seamless
glazing system had transformed the showroom:
“Ever since we put the
Lumi window on display,
everyone who comes in
walks past everything else,
straight to it and just says
‘wow’. It’s so unlike every
other window we’ve seen.”
Sukhi and the team saw
Lumi’s launch in the trade
media and immediately
began investing in units for
the showroom. Now after
its consumer launch at the
Grand Designs Live events
in London and Birmingham,
they are still developing
half a dozen firm leads
from show visitors, as well
as ongoing interest from
‘everyone just
says wow’
showroom visitors. The
company has since invested in more Lumi exhibits
for the showroom and will
soon have examples of each
system on display, including
the more recently launched
Lumi bi-folds, as well as
a range of other Apeer
products.
Apeer Marketing Manager Linda Tomb said: “It’s
great to see Royale Regents
getting behind Lumi so
enthusiastically so we are
very glad we were able to
pass on some of the leads
from Grand Designs. Both
the shows worked so well
for us and we were able to
pass leads to others in our
installer network around
the country.
She added: “We are still on
the lookout for a few more
retailers for Lumi in various
parts of the country and we
will be delighted if we find
any as enthusiastic as we
have at Royale Regents.”
