The successfull Durable Technologies ltd, DLC100 Light Control Module with Daylight Harvesting is to debut in Melbourne, Australia at 'All Energy Australia 2009', billed as the Low Carbon/No Carbon Energy Exhibition and Conference for Australia.

Hosted at the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre DKSH will be demonstrating the DLC100 Light Control Module with Daylight harvesting on Stand B2 showing just how simple energy saving lighting control can be. For further information contact Simon Shepherd at DKSH on telephone +61 3 9554 6666 or email simon.shepherd@dksh.com or better ask for him on stand B2

Development is nearly finished and we will reveal all but rest assured we are not cutting corners on quality or life expectency. Our new low cost Light Control Module is going to be one of the best at the most competitive price. Perfect for the current economy.It will be first anounced here in this blog as quick as next week. Be sure to check back and see what all the fuss is about.

It was a night for us to remember, after being shortlisted just a few weeks before it was off to the Borough Hall for the evening along with Hartlepools best. The wine flowed (courtesy of UK Steel), the food was excellent (thanks to Cleveland Caterers). An interesting after dinner talk by Colonel Bob Stewart DSO recalling his experiences of the Bosnia conflict.

The life expectancy of any electronic component can be difficult to calculate. HF ballasts in commercial light control installations are no exception. The lifetime is determined by all of the components used and the amount of stress (voltage, current and temperature) on each of these components. It can also be safely assumed that the first point of failure equals the ballast failure.
