    Let there be light!
    In spite of a slightly higher initial outlay when compared with fluorescent tubing, LED-powered trough lighting systems offer longer-term operational and environmental benefits to end users that more than compensate for the investment.

    The new IP65-rated Stryder Troughlight system from Ashby Trade Signs uses LEDs that produce a cool 6000K of white light, while the custom-designed, curved and ribbed lens provides excellent light distribution with no spotting. The system comprises a customised slim-line extrusion that is available in a single-piece length of up to six metres (longer, multi-section lighting is accomplished with joining brackets) and with a diameter less than 55mm. It features a single strip of powerful 24v LED modules that provide 1200 lumens of light per metre and comes with fully customisable fixing brackets.

    Ashby Keep Cool

    The nine currently available fixing brackets, all of which are made from extruded aluminium, enable the trough light to be sited on virtually any surface and at any angle or projection. The range includes an adjustable bracket that has been designed for use where the level of lighting must be varied or where the exact angle cannot be determined before installation. The length of the brackets can also be varied as well as extended to accommodate light panels of up to two metres in depth.

    The Stryder Troughlight is can be purchased assembled from stock finishes in black, white or anodised silver. Powder-coated units with a choice of over 100 RAL colours, but on a slightly longer lead-time, are also available . This system can be purchased directly through our Component Shop as assembled units or as components for sign makers with manufacturing capabilities.
