Case Study: CBC – Lighting Built for Harsh Environments

 

Coughtrie products come with a guarantee: that they can withstand almost anything. Time, environment, or situation: Coughtrie fittings illuminate for decades.

In environments where failure is not an option, every second of illumination counts. Whether for safety, operational continuity, or emergency readiness, customers need to ensure that their lighting options stand the test of time.

Nothing proves this more than one of our most consistent clients. Order after order of CBCs come in regularly, used mainly to light backup generators. Generators themselves need to be sturdy to be of use in environments that frequently experience power cuts, so it only makes sense to illuminate them with equally sturdy light fittings.

In a high-stakes environment, these CBCs must survive situations that take a lot of extreme elements. A Coughtrie fitting is able to withstand high or low temperatures, moisture and humidity, corrosive environments, vibrations from machinery, and so on.

This is due to the CBC having a die-cast aluminium base, allowing for a strong but lightweight product. The base is also pretreated and powder coated in order to improve durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance even in harsh environments.

The diffuser comes in U.V. stabilised opal polycarbonate to ensure the clarity lasts. It’s also fire retardant, maintaining its structural integrity under heat, but also improving safety for commercial, industrial or residential installations.

The CBC is a great example of how robust our fittings are. Requested for use in tunnels, railway sidings, maintenance areas, and more. Our clients use CBCs to illuminate backup generators, placing importance on the function of the lights. In situations where it is paramount to keep things going, such as hospitals and public transport.

With Dusk to Dawn and emergency options available, the CBC is ideal for situations that call for energy efficiency, convenience and robustness as a factor.

A fitting that can withstand the elements makes for a product that can save cost. Coughtrie knows that in an environmentally compliant industry, it’s important to carefully select products that will do their job efficiently for as long as possible.

From its die-cast aluminium base to its U.V.-stabilised diffuser, the CBC embodies Coughtrie’s long-standing commitment to durability and dependability. Built for environments where lighting is essential, it continues to perform year after year. Whether illuminating a generator, tunnel, or maintenance area, the CBC proves that Coughtrie fittings are made to last no matter the conditions.
