EXPERIENCE IN ROAD TUNNEL LIGHTING DESIGN AND SUPPLY

Thorlux have been the major road tunnel lighting

supplier to Hong Kong since 1996. This has involved
lighting design, product development and
extensive factory testing to meet
demanding project specifications.

Thorlux is now supplying luminaires

and systems for major contracts
within the U.K.

Main structural sections are nominally 3.0mm thick on the body
and 2.0mm thick on the frame.

CORROSION PROTECTION - Body and frame are pre-treated using

latest conversion coating technology and finished full polyester
powder black as standard.

GLASS COVER - Is 5mm thick toughened/safety glass to BS3193.

GASKETS/SEALING - Body/glass sealing is provided by a reliable

Grade 316S16 stainless steel body/frame toggle catches are
attached to the body avoiding metal to metal contact between
any component.
Toggle catches are PTFE coated to further avoid electrolytic
corrosion.
A floating glazing frame hinge allows the toggle catches to apply
equal gasket pressure on all sides of the body for reliable ingress
protection.
A deflection lip designed into the frame gives added gasket
protection during water-jet cleaning (see top illustration above).
