Acrospire supports LED retrofit for lanterns in Bath
Acrospire has worked with Bath & North East Somerset Council to refurbish a series of historic wall-mounted lanterns on Milsom Street – one of Bath’s most celebrated Georgian streets. Milsom Street is one of Bath’s most iconic Georgian thoroughfares, and a location steeped in architectural and literary history. Built in the 1760s, the street is known for its elegant façades, Grade II and II* listed buildings, and fashionable boutiques. Today, it remains a vibrant pedestrian-friendly destination at the heart of Bath’s shopping and cultural quarter. Lighting on Milsom Street plays an important role in enhancing its visual appeal and ensuring public safety after dark, while preserving the area’s distinct heritage look. As part of an ongoing programme to modernise the city’s lighting assets, Bath & North East Somerset Council appointed Acrospire to retrofit the existing wall-mounted lanterns with a more sustainable LED solution. Acrospire refurbished the wall-mounted lanterns in place, reusing the original housings to retain the aesthetic character of the streetscape. New 2400K LED modules were carefully integrated to provide a warm, heritage-style glow that echoes the visual tone of the traditional lamp types previously used. The retrofit also supports Bath & North East Somerset Council’s sustainability goals. By upgrading and reusing existing assets, rather than replacing them, the project reduces waste and contributes to circular economy principles, delivering carbon savings with minimal visual impact. As with previous projects such as North Parade Bridge, Acrospire’s team worked closely with the council to ensure that all elements of the solution, from optics and colour temperature to mounting and control, were suited to the sensitive setting and future operational needs. The finished installation maintains the character and integrity of one of Bath’s most historically significant streets, while significantly reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs. The upgrade also supports the council’s wider goals for public realm enhancement and sustainable infrastructure investment across the city. The project forms part of the city’s wider strategy to modernise public lighting infrastructure across the World Heritage Site, balancing energy efficiency, improved lighting quality, and respect for historic character.

MAGDUO: The two-wire fire alarm system from ESP
Security products supplier ESP’s MAGDUO two-wire fire alarm system has been designed with small-to-medium sized contractors in mind, providing a flexible and adaptable solution that helps reduce installation time and overall project costs. Two-wire fire alarm systems are based on conventional system technology but offer a more streamlined wiring approach. Unlike traditional four-wire conventional systems - where detectors, call points, and alarm devices for each zone are wired on separate circuits - MAGDUO uses intelligent two-wire technology. This allows all devices to be connected via the same two-core zone cable back to the control panel. By enabling a single circuit per zone for both detection and sounder operation, the system significantly reduces the amount of cabling required on site, helping installers save both time and material costs while maintaining reliable fire detection performance. Product range details The MAGDUO range currently comprises 25 products, including two-, four-, and eight-zone fire alarm control panels available in either grey or black finishes. Matching repeater panels are also available, with the four- and eight-zone panels capable of supporting up to eight repeaters. A key feature of the system is the FlexiPoint detector, which can be programmed into seven different operating modes, including smoke and heat detection. The range is further supported by a selection of sounders, strobes, and manual call points, allowing installers to configure systems to suit a wide range of applications. With its adaptability, fast installation, and cost-effective design, MAGDUO is ideally suited to small-to-medium sized projects including restaurants, retail premises, schools, offices, apartments, and hotels. ESP is also offering comprehensive training on the MAGDUO system for wholesalers and installers. For more from ESP, click here.

"The tester everyone is talking about"
Kewtech, a leading manufacturer of professional electrical test equipment, presents your guide to the ultimate MFT and explains why it is fast becoming the industry favourite. Every electrical contractor knows that testing isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about confidence. Confidence that your readings are accurate, your results are defensible, and your equipment won’t let you down when you’re under pressure on site. That’s why Kewtech has spent decades designing test instruments with one clear philosophy in mind: make electrical testing faster, simpler and safer for the UK electrician. The KT66DL multifunction tester is a perfect example of that approach. Rather than chasing gimmicks or unnecessary complexity, it focuses on solving real-world testing problems – noisy environments, sensitive RCDs, EV circuits, tight timescales and demanding clients, all the while remaining intuitive and easy to use. This is a tester designed by people who understand how electricians actually work. Loop test accuracy: because everything depends on it At the heart of safe electrical installations is accurate loop impedance testing. If your loop values are wrong, disconnection times may not be met and protective devices may not operate as intended. That’s why loop accuracy has always been a cornerstone of Kewtech design. The KT66DL delivers highly accurate and, importantly, repeatable loop values, time after time, even in challenging conditions. This accuracy gives contractors confidence that what they’re recording is genuinely representative of the installation, not distorted by noise, uplift or unstable supply conditions. When certification, liability and reputation are on the line, that confidence matters. 2-Wire low current no-trip loop testing One of the biggest frustrations during testing is nuisance RCD tripping. It slows the job down, disrupts occupants, and can lead to unnecessary call-backs. The KT66DL’s 2-wire low-current no-trip loop test is designed to remove that problem entirely. It allows you to carry out loop testing quickly and safely at light fittings and light switches where a high-current two-wire test would trip the RCD. Fewer interruptions mean faster inspections and a smoother experience for both contractor and client. High-current loop testing where precision really counts Not all loop testing is equal. When you’re testing close to a supply transformer, loop values can be extremely low – and many testers simply don’t have the resolution to cope. The KT66DL includes two high-current loop test settings: a 6A test and a 25A test with 0.001Ω resolution. That level of precision makes it ideal for testing near the origin of the supply, where accuracy is critical. The 25A test enables a genuine 50kA PFC range, giving contractors confidence that prospective fault current readings are accurate even in demanding commercial and industrial installations. This removes guesswork and ensures protective devices are correctly rated. Reliable results in noisy environments Real sites are rarely electrically “clean”. Machinery, inverters and other connected equipment introduce noise that can cause unstable readings. The KT66DL automatically detects this and activates its noise handling feature, extending the test and measuring at different frequencies to deliver a stable, usable result. Combined with Kewtech’s renowned resistance to RCD uplift, this ensures that readings remain reliable even in hostile environments. The benefit is simple: less frustration, fewer failed tests, and more confidence in the numbers you’re recording. Designed for real installations, not ideal ones Oxidised terminations and aged connections are a fact of life, especially on older or industrial installations. The KT66DL’s PULSE function applies a short burst of high current to clean the contact point and remove surface oxidation. This produces more stable and repeatable readings, saving time and avoiding misleading results. Again, it’s a practical feature that exists because Kewtech designs testers for the conditions electricians actually face. Extra-low current loop testing for EV installations EV charge points bring new challenges, particularly with over-sensitive RCD protection that can trip during conventional loop testing. The KT66DL includes a specialist extra-low current loop test specifically for EV circuits, allowing testing to be carried out without nuisance tripping. As EV installations continue to grow, this feature ensures contractors can test confidently without workarounds or compromises. Coupled with the KEWEVSE or KEWEVA adaptors, the KT66DL will carry out a full auto EVSE RCD test covering both the internal EV DC and AC protective devices but also the external EV circuit RCD / RCBO. It’s a clear demonstration of Kewtech future-proofing of its products for modern electrical work. Insulation/continuity testing with built-in protection Mistakes happen – especially on busy sites. Connecting an insulation/continuity tester to a live circuit can be costly if the instrument isn’t protected. The KT66DL warns you if it detects a live circuit, and even if the test button is locked, internal protection prevents damage to the PCB. This protects both the tester and your investment, helping ensure long-term reliability. Kewtech builds longevity into its MFTs, which is why many contractors continue using them for years rather than replacing them every upgrade cycle. No touch screen… which Kewtech is proud of There is no touch screen on Kewtech MFTs… and that’s to your benefit, the company says. Kewtech’s dot matrix screen provides clear, reliable visibility in all site conditions and can be operated easily with gloves, wet hands or in cold weather while also offering significantly lower repair costs should the unthinkable happen. This all helps to reduce downtime and long-term ownership costs. In contrast, touch screens tend to be more fragile, costly to replace and often uneconomical if damaged. All on one screen The KT66DL displays all key test results simultaneously on a single screen, eliminating the need to scroll through menus or repeat tests. RCD results, PSC/PFC and even simultaneous TRMS display of L-PE, L-N and N-PE are all there to provide you with a complete, instant overview of circuit conditions, speeds up fault current assessment, and make testing more efficient. SPD testing The KT66DL makes SPD (Surge Protection Device) testing quick and straightforward, allowing contractors to verify that SPDs are functioning correctly without damaging the life of the SPD. By quickly identifying faulty or degraded surge protection, the tester helps protect sensitive equipment, ensures compliance, and gives electricians confidence that the installation is safe and reliable – saving time and preventing costly damage for clients. One tester, multiple capabilities The KT66DL provides a range of additional features, including: Phase rotation testing Earth electrode testing (2-wire and 3-wire) PAT testing with the optional adapter Help at your fingertips – no manual required With such a feature-rich tester, you would be forgiven for thinking that with such capabilities must come a level of complexity that you would rather avoid. But rest assured that it’s intuitive, user-friendly operation means this simply isn’t the case… we bet you won’t even have to consult the manual to start testing straight away. Just a single rotary dial, clear all-in-one result screens, logical menu structure and dedicated help buttons providing on-screen guidance, all help to reduce training time, speed up testing, and ensure new to Kewtech users can hit the ground running. Accuracy starts with the test leads A tester is only as good as the test leads that are connecting it to the installation. That’s why Kewtech prides itself on its G7 Precision test leads, designed with unrivalled accuracy and durability. Kewtech universal test leads are put through a rigorous seven-step testing procedure to ensure that they stand up to the demands of the everyday contractor, providing reliable contact, consistent readings and long service life. Support you can rely on Kewtech MFTs are known for their longevity. Contractors buy them knowing they’re investing in their future and in equipment that will last. Just as importantly, Kewtech is proud of the feedback it receives on its excellent customer service. Real technical support is always on hand, offering advice, guidance and reassurance when needed. Kewtech understands that this level of backup matters when your tester is central to your livelihood, and the company is genuine in its approach to after-sales care. Kewtech is with you every step of the way – just ask one of the thousands of trusting Kewtech users across the UK. A tester designed around the electrician The KT66DL isn’t just a multifunction tester; it’s a reflection of Kewtech’s design philosophy. Every feature is there to make testing faster, simpler and safer, all the while excelling in accuracy and repeatability of results.

TESP publishes insights into apprentice charge-out rates
Research exploring employers’ different approaches to charge-out rates for electrical apprentices was recently published by The Electrotechnical Skills Partnership (TESP), a UK not-for-profit partnership promoting skills development and training standards in the electrotechnical industry. This latest piece of work was carried out to enhance the apprentice Return on Investment (ROI) calculations that TESP conducted in 2025, which found that businesses still can realise a positive ROI, albeit at a lower return than found in 2019 calculations. With the rate at which an apprentice is charged out being a key element in determining the ROI of apprentices, the results showed that most interviewed businesses (76%) work on a fixed price basis - this was slightly higher for medium/large (85%) than micro/small businesses (67%). When determining apprentice charge out rates, many businesses (78%) apply an hourly rate for their apprentice when pricing work. Most (65%) have a formal process in place for this, taking into account associated costs such as apprentice wages, supervision, equipment, administration, and travel. Several (30%) increase charge-out rates in line with wages, while some (24%) apply a charge-out rate as a proportion of the cost of a fully qualified electrician (which may vary depending on the ability/experience of the apprentice). Of those with no formal process for determining charge out rates, most said they simply assess and price a job based on the overall cost of the labour and materials. Key findings The research also explored views on apprentices’ roles and recruitment, with the following findings: • Employers broadly agreed that Year 1 apprentices largely shadowed qualified electricians and helped with preparation of tools, materials, and site preparation; in Year 2 they undertake wiring and cabling (etc.) under supervision, before being more proficient and capable of most tasks by Year 4. • Collaboration with colleges was widely valued for candidate vetting and apprentice support, though some employers cited communication issues and tutor shortages affecting quality. • Many employers assess candidates through trial periods or temporary contracts, alongside pre-apprenticeship roles and internal training schemes. • Suggested improvements included greater emphasis on practical skills and onsite collaboration, earlier health and safety training, and improved consistency in college staffing to reduce tutor and assessor shortages. Other recommendations made in the report include developing a best practice toolkit to help employers with apprentice recruitment with guidance on trial periods, candidate assessment and retention, and setting up an apprentice loan scheme between businesses to help learners gain exposure to all the skills they need to become a qualified electrician. In addition to the research, TESP has also published summary guidance giving practical advice and considerations to help businesses set rates that are fair, competitive, and reflect the true value apprentices bring as they grow in skill and confidence. TESP Chair Ruth Devine MBE says, “Given the diminished ROI that our earlier research highlighted, the importance and significance of the apprentice charge-out rate should not be underestimated, and we hope this additional piece of work and guidance supports businesses in this respect. "Many employers maintain a commitment to recruiting and training apprentices, but growing business and cost pressures mean the quality of candidates and training delivery is ever more important.” To view the full report and guidance document, you can visit TESP's website by clicking here.

R-Range has been designed to simplify servicing and reduce time spent on site. The luminaire includes tool-free access to the internal components. The optical assembly, containing the LED optics, can be replaced as a complete unit without removing the main housing. This allows quicker replacement and helps reduce disruption during maintenance work. At the rear of the fitting, the driver is mounted on a removable steel plate secured by two captive fasteners. This arrangement allows the driver to be replaced independently of the optical chamber. Safety retention mechanisms are also included to secure the door during servicing. Construction for harsh environments R-Range is built with a 316L stainless steel body to provide C5M corrosion resistance in environments exposed to moisture, pollution, and temperature changes. The luminaire has an IP66 ingress protection rating and IK08 impact resistance, helping to protect against dust, water jets, and physical impact. It is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +40°C. The fitting complies with the BS EN IEC 60598 standards for luminaires. R-Range can also be integrated with TRT Lighting’s Lumi-LinQ wireless lighting control system, enabling functions such as adaptive dimming, remote monitoring, and energy performance management. DALI dimming options are available for projects that require additional control flexibility. The luminaire is available in multiple wattages, producing outputs of up to 3,314 lumens, and has a rated lifespan of 100,000 hours (L90/B10). Designed as a replacement for existing tunnel luminaires, the fitting uses common fixing centres and twin cable glands compatible with three-core 16mm² SWA cable to support retrofit projects.

ECS provides dynamic lighting controls to Teeside University
Teesside University in Middlesbrough has introduced a dynamic lighting control system as part of a new installation, with commissioning carried out by Elite Control Services (ECS), a UK specialist in architectural lighting control systems. ECS was appointed by Park Lighting Design to support the project, working alongside contractor SES and lighting technology provider Traxon e:cue. The installation uses Pixel Ribbon GO RGBW HB lighting and e:cue control technology to create programmable RGBW lighting effects across the scheme. ECS was responsible for configuring and commissioning the control system to ensure it operated reliably and could be easily managed by the on-site team. The commissioning process included testing and verifying control addresses so that each Pixel Ribbon run responded correctly within the system. ECS also carried out detailed mapping to align the control configuration with the lighting design and intended scenes. Control system designed for resilience As part of the project, ECS set up a master–slave control arrangement using e:cue controllers. This configuration allows the system to continue operating if the primary controller becomes unavailable. If the slave controller detects that the master controller is no longer communicating on the network, it automatically takes over control. The arrangement is intended to minimise disruption and maintain lighting performance for students, staff, and visitors. After commissioning, ECS delivered on-site training for the university team, demonstrating how to programme and adjust the lighting system for different events and operational requirements. Adam Hardy, Director at ECS, comments, “We were asked to come in alongside Park Lighting Design and Traxon e:cue to make sure the controls were set up properly and would keep the lighting running smoothly. "We handled everything from testing addresses and mapping through to configuring the master and slave controllers and delivering training so the university team can programme the system themselves. "By building in that resilience, we are proud to have helped Teesside University get a reliable, flexible lighting solution with minimal risk of downtime.” For more from ECS, click here.

LIA launches TM65.2 carbon reporting schemes
The Lighting Industry Association (LIA), a UK trade body for lighting manufacturers and suppliers, has launched the TM65.2 Assured Product and Company Schemes, aimed at strengthening confidence in embodied carbon reporting across the lighting sector. The schemes provide a framework for assessing the embodied carbon of lighting products through independently verified reporting. They have been introduced as sustainability expectations increase across the built environment and infrastructure sectors, where organisations are under pressure to demonstrate greater transparency in environmental reporting. According to the LIA, the schemes are intended to encourage consistency in carbon reporting, increase confidence in verified products and organisations, and reduce the risk of misleading environmental claims. Unlike self-declared reporting, the schemes use a third-party assessment process carried out by the LIA Laboratory. Independent verification of lighting products Assessments include product disassembly and a detailed review of components, materials, and weights, alongside manufacturing locations, energy consumption, and the tonnage of produced goods. The verification process follows the TM65.2 methodology and is designed to reflect how lighting products are designed and manufactured. Ali Kay, Sustainability Manager at the LIA, comments, “The industry has made significant progress in understanding embodied carbon, but consistency and credibility are critical if reporting is to drive meaningful change. "TM65.2 Assured provides an evidence-based, independently verified framework that supports transparency and reduces the risk of greenwashing. By applying a lighting-specific approach, we are ensuring that calculations are robust, comparable, and aligned with the realities of our sector.” The schemes will be delivered through the LIA Laboratory, which is ISO 17065 accredited. The laboratory also holds UKAS and IECEE accreditations. Kieran Merrills, Certification Manager at the LIA Laboratory, adds, “Certification must be rigorous, impartial, and technically sound. TM65.2 Assured has been built around structured third-party verification, detailed technical assessment, and clear governance. "Our ISO 17065 certification ensures that every decision is made objectively and consistently, giving the market confidence that assured products and companies have met a defined and independently validated standard.” For more from the LIA, click here.

'Stop using your multimeter for proving dead!'
In test equipment manufacturer Kewtech's previous article, ‘Is your equipment GS38 compliant?’, the company looked at what it means to be HSE GS38 compliant and why it is important to select measuring equipment that is suitable and rated for the prospective fault current when carrying out safe isolation. For a recap, GS38 is the UK Health & Safety Executive’s safety requirements for electrical test equipment for use on low-voltage systems. Testing equipment and accessories that meet these standards are designed to minimise the risk of electric shock, arcing, and injury when working on low-voltage electrical systems (up to 1000 V AC / 1500 V DC). Your checklist for using the correct equipment includes: • Ideally, 2mm exposed tips (and Kewtech doesn’t recommend removable tips) and not more than 4mm exposed • Finger guards • Use of high-integrity insulated leads (check for insulation damage before use) • Appropriate CAT rating for the environment • Properly maintained equipment • Conforming to British Standards Why are multimeters discouraged? Unfortunately, it is the case that many multimeters out there are not manufactured to British Standards, with inappropriate test leads to carry out safe isolation, putting the user and others around them at risk of injury and death. Furthermore, most multimeters are designed for working on electronic equipment and are not rated for the prospective fault current that is found on low-voltage installations. This aside, however, there is even a common misconception and misuse of products when it comes to Digital Multimeters (DMMs) for safe isolation. The defining feature of a multimeter is that it requires the user to select the function and range required for testing through a rotary switch or buttons. Contrastingly, GS38 emphasises that test equipment used for proving dead must not be prone to incorrect settings or dependent on user-selected ranges. The reasoning for this is one which seeks to remove the potential for human error. Should the user select the wrong function (e.g. continuity instead of voltage), the meter can give a false reading, fail to detect live voltage or, in some cases, be damaged or fail dangerously. What to look out for? • Any product which uses a rotary dial or a user selection function without auto-select • GS38 specifically discourages multifunction instruments such as traditional multimeters unless they can safely detect voltage regardless of the setting. Kewtech’s KT5 with auto-function select The KT5 from Kewtech is a sophisticated, all-in-one open-jaw current and voltage indicator with multimeter functionality. There is, however, a subtle yet distinguishing feature to the KT5 when compared to some similar products on the market. The KT5 is built with an automatic function selection which removes the ambiguity from readings and prevents false negatives through user error, making it an ideal tool for safe isolation. This means that, should you be on the wrong setting when seeking to prove dead, the KT5 will still provide you with a potentially lifesaving indication. Furthermore, unlike some two-pole testers, the KT5 does not need to detect a potential difference between probes to provide an indication of a dangerous voltage; it will detect a dangerous voltage with a single probe. Using a two-pole tester that needs to see a potential difference between the probes will not detect a dangerous voltage where an earth, neutral, or a separate phase is not present, but a single line voltage is present. The bottom line Safe isolation is not an area where compromise or convenience should ever outweigh safety. While digital multimeters have their place, they are often unsuitable for proving dead due to their often-inappropriate test leads/probes as well as their reliance on correct function selection by the user and inadequate fault current rating. By choosing equipment that is purpose-built for safe isolation, compliant with British Standards, and capable of detecting voltage regardless of user settings, electricians can significantly reduce the risk of false readings and potentially fatal accidents. Investing in the right test equipment isn’t just about compliance; it’s about protecting lives, including your own. Remember: Test Before You Touch! For more from Kewtech, click here.
