Decorative electrical wiring accessories specialist and audio and lighting control systems manufacturer, Hamilton Litestat, will be returning to the Interiors show in January 2013. New on the 2013 stand will be samples of Hamilton’s new bronze effect finishes, including Richmond, a sophisticated deep, even bronze; Antique, which has a lightly grained texture; and Connaught, which emulates a natural weathered effect – all designed to reflect the growing trend for bronze accessories in luxury properties.

Also new for this year’s show will be an extension to Hamilton’s Eurofix range, which offers complete flexibility for British and European overseas projects where a range of international appliances may be used, such as hotels. Eurofix plates contain European style apertures into which the various inserts can be clipped, yet are fitted in the usual way into British Standard wall boxes. New inserts for 2013 include universal, USA (NEMA) and European (schuko) sockets, and a USB charging point, which join the existing range of AV, data, TV, satellite and hotel card switch inserts. The Eurofix range is available across most of Hamilton’s stylish plate designs, making it suitable for all types of interior from contemporary to traditional.

As well as showing its comprehensive range of switches and sockets, Hamilton will be demonstrating its newly re-designed Mercury® Lighting Control System, which utilises the latest technologies and components to ensure compatibility with a wide range of LED fittings, meaning that the user can reap the energy saving benefits of the control system and the LEDs. The Mercury® system offers a comprehensive, easy-to-use solution for controlling basic day-to-day lighting scenarios from simple dimming through to scene-setting programmes. The easily programmable system is also available with DMX control for more complex LED colour washing effects and can be integrated with other products including the Mercury® Multi-room Audio system for an entire lighting and sound package. Add-on options are available, such as window blind controls. Controls include switch plates in a variety of designs that match Hamilton’s other accessory ranges, infra-red remote control and wireless control via iPad and iPhone using the downloadable app.

The Mercury® system is now available in an easy-to-install starter kit, the DK1, containing a 4-channel pack, a wall-mounted button controller and a hand held remote control. Extra packs can be easily integrated for bigger projects.

As well as its comprehensive range of accessories and controls, Hamilton also provides a bespoke product design service that produces unique electrical wiring accessory solutions to meet specific requirements. Visitors interested in this bespoke service will be able to chat to the team about their requirements at the show.
