This is why we choose to work exclusively with European suppliers and all our products are assembled in Belgium.

Sustainable & innovative investment in the future

The Easy Switch upgrade has specifically been created to help venues make the transition to a.o. LED technology. Because of the huge sector demand an innovative adaptation has been developed for existing dimmer installations.  

Innovative

Our local governments are committed to making cultural infrastructure more energy efficient. Including the Easy Switch in a project supported by the Cultural Infrastructure Fund of the Flemish Government helps to quickly achieve climate objectives.

Sustainable

Several venues have already integrated the Pino Solutions Easy Switch to save on energy consumption and to invest in the future. Read more about some of these achievements in our 'Focus on File' series where every case is discussed in detail. Select a venue on our references page to read all about their experience with the Easy Switch dimmer upgrade.

Your venue probable has a dimming infrastructure they may already have been in service for several years. It has always worked well and still does to this day. However, because a switch to LED technology is being made and devices are increasingly being connected that cannot be powered via dimming a channel (such as moving lights, LEDpars, boosters, beamers, active speakers etc. ) the mayority of dimmers are not suitable for powering fixtures that need real fixed power. After all, your existing dimmers were developed before the arrival of new technologies in devices such as switched power supplies.

But with the Easy Switch upgrade you can switch easily and safely by means of a swith on a touch screen to convert the dimmer channel into fixed power (and back) where needed. Nothing needs to be changed to the existing infrastructure, namely the outgoing cabling or connections.

Due to the new standards regarding fire and environmental safety hazards, when installing a new dimmer/power supply with built-in relay, the cabling must also be replaced. With the Easy Switch this is not necessary. It is a sustainable and inexpensive solution to extend the life of properly functioning dimmers, avoid having to use new raw materials and avoid drastic structural works. This reduces the mountain of waste and money better spent elsewhere.

Conducting a sustainable policy with regard to infrastructure and energy consumption: it goes without saying. It is not just tackling the insulation shell and heating installation of the building that play an important role in this. The high energy consumption inherent in the cultural sector should also be reviewed. In time, all incandescent and gas discharge lamps will be phased out by European regulations That is why many venues have been investing for several years in lighting fixtures with a LED source. But is the infrastructure in the room to which they are connected suitable for this?
