Hamilton Air sheds light in Swalcliffe

Banbury-based electrical contractor Garrett Electrical Services has equipped the grounds of a country house in Oxfordshire with Hamilton Litestat’s wireless outdoor electrical control solution, Hamilton Air.

Located in Swalcliffe, close to the famous Tithe Barn and just six miles from Banbury, the property’s owner sought a solution to illuminate key features in newly landscaped gardens during dusky and dark evenings.

Liam Garrett, Director at Garrett Electrical Services, selected Hamilton’s Air Wireless Switching system, which enables remote control of outdoor electrical features, such as garden lighting, electric gates, and pumps for decorative water features.

The company has used the solution on several projects and has found it to be a highly adaptable and reliable system for outdoor control.

In the Swalcliffe property, the IP56-rated Hamilton Air Wireless Switching system was installed in an outbuilding, with a battery-powered wireless control wall plate fitted within the country house. Supporting four channels, with a maximum load of 1.25kW and a total load capacity of 4kW, the channels can be controlled by the remote switch plate or a button key fob from a distance of up to 250 metres. Additionally, ‘Timed’ mode delivers power to a circuit for up to four minutes, which is useful for lighting pathways.

Garrett Electrical’s Engineer, James Mendham, enabled the Hamilton Air Wireless Switching solution to control a circuit featuring eight solid copper spike lights; six of these light planted borders, while a further two illuminate fencing. A second circuit controls an in-ground walk-over light that shines on and makes a feature of a stunning cherry tree. The two remaining channels have been left open to support electrical requirements for a swimming pool and water feature at a later date.
