Since its launch, Smart Socket has become one of the standard products used on internally wired lighting bars used primarily in theatre, TV, architectural and retail installations where multiple power outlets for lighting are required.
Technical director, Julian Baycock explained that 16A outlets are more often being specified as an alternative to the conventional 15A round pin 'stage lighting standard'. This is to accommodate moving head lighting fixtures, which are often fitted with 16A connectors, or for outdoor installations where higher IP ratings are essential. In response, Robolights added the 16A version to its Smart Socket range that already includes products for standard 15A or 13A connectors as well as a blank version, which can be customised to accept a wide range of power, data or signal connectors.
