Read moreWhy Hi-Line Lighting Takes a Different Approach to Warranties
When it comes to warranties in the lighting industry, not all promises are created equal. You may have seen other suppliers advertising “5 years” or even “10 years” as standard, without ever asking about how their products will be installed, who will be installing them, or whether the design has been carried out correctly. At Hi-Line, we take a very different approach.

Read moreLED Lighting in Shower Niches: Why IP68 Strips Are the Safer Choice
Shower niches are always exposed to water and condensation. Profiles like HL-ALU009-2M can be used, but they are not sealed and require silicone to make them waterproof. Over time, condensation can still collect inside, causing discolouration or mould. A better approach is to install an IP68 LED strip directly onto a clean tiled surface, with access for future replacement.

Read moreInrush Current in LED Lighting – Why It Happens and How to Control It
When LED lights or drivers are switched on, they can draw a very high inrush current for a split second. This surge often trips breakers, stresses dimmers, and shortens the life of drivers and lamps. Even if the total load is within limits, several drivers switching on together can create a combined inrush strong enough to cut the power instantly. The HL-S1-SX surge current suppressor solves this problem. It sits in series with the mains supply, reducing the inrush at startup and then switching to full power. This protects dimmers, prevents nuisance MCB tripping, and extends the life of LED systems. It can be used with GU10s, other dimmable lamps, triac dimmable LED drivers, and even non-dimmable drivers when installed in multiples. Compact, easy to wire, and highly effective, the HL-S1-SX is a simple answer to one of the biggest hidden issues in LED lighting: inrush current.
