  • Cost Calculator
    Cost Calculator The pressures on reducing energy, maintenance costs and operating costs will continue to increase so that climate change objectives can be met. Understanding the total cost of an installation over its whole life is becoming increasingly important as budgets become tighter and long term planning is required. The Total Cost of Ownership Tool from WRTL allows you to compare the complete cost of alternate lighting solutions alongside Stela so that you are able to make informed decisions on long term sustainability.

B-Scout

Most commonly the unit is used with fluorescent and HID lamps and gear in tunnel lighting applications. The unit will switch and dim conventional magnetic gear, and also works in conjunction with electronic gear to switch and/or dim using the 1-10V output.

The units will operate on both single and 3 phase standard and UPS supplies.

Designed primarily to operate with the i-TunneL® range of tunnel luminaires, the unit can in certain circumstances be supplied to control third party equipment.

Part of the internationally renowned i-TunneL® lighting control and monitoring system, the B-Scout unit provides reliable and precise lighting control. Refined through WRTL’s extensive experience, the B-Scout system is uniquely designed specifically for tunnel lighting applications and is generally considered as the industry standard for modern digital control. Most commonly used in fluorescent and HID lighting schemes, the B-Scout can operate with conventional and electronic gear and provide standard switching, one step dimming and 1-10V dimming control.
