Lighting and general electrical materials
The long tail of a project. Fittings, accessories, lighting and the general electrical goods that never appear on a headline bill of quantities but stop work when they run out.

Overview
This category exists for a practical reason. If you are already buying a transformer, cable and switchgear from us, there is no sense raising a second order elsewhere for lighting and accessories and paying a second delivery. One order, one delivery, one invoice.
We supply lighting materials, fittings, accessories and general electrical goods in trade and project quantities. Stock in this category turns over quickly and varies by branch, so it is worth a phone call rather than an assumption.
For contractors running several sites, we can hold an agreed list against your account so repeat items are always available rather than reordered each time. Ask us about it if that is how you work.

Lighting materials
These are lightning protection devices, also commonly called lightning rods / lightning arresters / air terminals. They are installed at the highest points of buildings, factories, towers, substations, and other structures to help intercept lightning strikes and safely conduct the electrical current to the grounding/earthing system.
The picture shows several types, including Prevectron 2 ESE lightning terminals, ABB OPR lightning terminals, and copper multi-point lightning rods.
They are normally used together with down conductors, copper tape/cable, clamps, earth rods, and an earthing system to provide complete lightning protection.
Accessories and fittings
These are earthing and grounding materials used for electrical installations, substations, transformers, buildings, and lightning protection systems.
The picture includes copper-bonded earth rods, copper earth tape/strip, copper conductor coils, copper earth plates, green/yellow earth cable, and other metallic grounding strips.
Their purpose is to provide a low-resistance path to ground, helping safely discharge fault current and lightning energy into the earth and protecting electrical equipment and personnel.
General electrical goods
These are electrical earthing/grounding and lightning protection accessories used for substations, buildings, industrial installations, and electrical panels.
The set includes items such as earth inspection pit, copper earth bars/busbars, copper-bonded earth rods, brass clamps and connectors, test links, earth rod couplers, cable lugs, insulators, and lightning protection fittings.
They are used to create a safe earthing system, helping carry fault current and lightning current safely into the ground while protecting equipment and people.
