Baracus Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 What does everyone think to the new florescent floodlights? Any good? the PL lamp floods are good, and I was surprised with the flossy lamp that retro fits in a standard 500w Halogen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galaxyclass Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Well with a bit of Googling I found some technical data. The system is a Menvier TS900 and according to http://www.tycoemea.com/english/pdf/datash...er/datashts.pdf which may or may not be right, here are the consumption figures Current consumption Panel 110 mA (normal) 190 mA (alarm) LCD keypad 40 mA (normal) 50 mA (alarm) On normal (standby), it all adds up to 150mA (110+40), which at 240V is 36Watts. But when alarmed it adds up to 240mA (190+50), which at 240V is 58Watts. If it's armed for 16hrs a day (ie put on at night as well as when go to work), that's an average of 50Watts, which is still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 dont confuse 'alarm' with set. in alarm means that sounders etc running. set will usually use the same power that unset. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

amateurandy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I just don't believe those numbers. Watts = heat output. The figures quoted are similar to a 40Watt or 60Watt light bulb. Imagine one of those in your panel and how hot it would get............. My keypad is stone cold and my panel vaguely tepid directly above the transformer. I reckon maybe 1 or 2 Watts at most, max 10mA. Now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
