| New HCX system for emergency pathway illumination
Dual-Lite has introduced HCX emergency lighting system, a viable solution to cost effectively extending indoor/outdoor pathway illumination. The heart of the new system is the HCX-RC12 remote capacity combination emergency lighting unit/LED exit sign. The emergency lighting portion of the HCX-RC12 features high output MR16 lamps that are fully adjustable for easy lamp aiming mounted on a low profile exit sign housing. Lamp heads are easily reconfigurable from one head on each side of the unit housing to both heads on one side to accommodate versatile mounting installations.
The HCX-R12, Energy Star and EPAct 2005 compliant and UL 924 listed, assures 90 minute run time under emergency conditions, works in conjunction with Dual-Lite's new CPR and OCR remote lighting heads, and provides a cost effective system solution to indoor and outdoor pathway illumination.

Logging Your Every Driving Moment
Did you know that the airbag control module in your car could be logging a whole lot of factors about your driving - including your speed? If the proliferation of speed cameras, redlight cameras and radars isn’t enough to make you drive carefully, perhaps that piece of news just might! Think about it. If in a moment of inattention you collide with the back of another car, you won’t be able to say that you were braking hard – not if the electronic record shows that in fact you never even started to slow until the time of impact. Convicted by your car? – it’s more than just a possibility, with one such case having already occurred in the US. There a driver involved in a double fatality claimed he had been travelling at about 100 km/h. But the electronic record showed that in fact the speed of the car five seconds before impact was 184 km/h...
Falkirk raise a glass to the spirit of 1957 cup heroes
IT'S an achievement which offers Dunfermline hope as they attempt to cope with the twin objectives of league survival and Scottish Cup glory. Their old rivals from Falkirk managed both during a momentous season when they were asked to play three times in the five days after lifting the cup. And even that success came after a replay against the hot favourites Kilmarnock, who were defeated 2-1. After extra-time, naturally. This feat of physical endurance is being toasted tomorrow as over 200 guests gather in a Falkirk hotel on the 50th anniversary of a fabled cup win. Not that the Scottish Cup final marked the end of the season, as it does now. Falkirk still had to secure their First Division status, and were ordered to play a match two days after the Wednesday cup win. .
