Blumenbecker uses Rittal system lights
New lights facilitate assembly
The high-performance, energy-efficient LED
technology of Rittal’s new LED system lights
optimises illumination in housings and enclosures.
As well as maintenance engineers, the new
development also benefits control system and
switchgear manufacturers. With user-friendly
connection and assembly options, the lights
facilitate everyday workshop production. This makes
using the new LED system lights a no-brainer for
Blumenbecker Automatisierungstechnik, a leading
control system and switchgear manufacturer based
in Beckum.
Herborn, 10 May 2017 – “That’s exactly what we want,”
says Heinz-Josef Schmitz from Blumenbecker
Automatisierungstechnik GmbH. Intelligent enclosure
components that are easy to install like Rittal’s LED
system lights are a great help to the senior executive
responsible for switchgear production. “In our production
processes with a large proportion of manual operations,
it’s vital to find ways of achieving substantial time savings
by making assembly easier,” he says, adding that
Blumenbecker is benefiting from the lights’ fast, tool-free
assembly and wiring. “Wherever we want to locate a
system light at the end of the enclosure configuration
process, it’s not fixed in a set position but can be
installed flexibly in line with our requirements and fits
anywhere in the enclosure frame,” underlines Schmitz.
The new LED system lights from Rittal have been
specifically developed for use in enclosure systems,
where they ensure ideal illumination of the entire
enclosure. With a luminous intensity of 1200 and 900
lumens, even large enclosures up to 1200 mm wide and

2,200 high are perfectly illuminated with the Rittal LED
system lights. Should they require a lower light output in
smaller enclosures, lights with 600 and 400 lumens are
now also available for control and switchgear
manufacturers. The version with 600 lumens of light
output meets the standard requirements for the large TS
8 enclosure, for instance, while the 400-lumen lights
meet those for wall-mounted enclosures such as the
Rittal AE compact enclosure series.
An optical cover made of transparent plastic, in which a
Fresnel structure is integrated, serves to optimally
illuminate the enclosure. It focuses the light so that the
entire enclosure is illuminated in a targeted way, even at
the bottom. This means the light reaches exactly those
places where it is needed – without being scattered into
the outer areas. In addition, all the lights have been
designed for a wide range of AC voltages (100 – 240 V
AC) or DC voltage (24 V DC) and can therefore be used
all over the world, so Rittal offers a light that is suitable
for every market. This cuts storage costs and reduces
complexity when selecting products.
The lights can be adapted to any type of installation, i.e.
they can be fitted either vertically or horizontally in the
enclosure section. They can be mounted quickly and
easily simply by clamping them into the TS 8 enclosure
section. They can also be screwed into the section. The
use of a universal bracket aids rapid assembly in AE
compact enclosures. Rittal also offers suitable
accessories for all the LED system lights, such as dooroperated switches and through-wiring for bayed suites.
