ACCESSMOUNT LLC
INTRODUCES REVOLUTIONARY NEW 'LADDERLESS' FIXTURE MOUNTING SYSTEM
AT LIGHTFAIR INTERNATIONAL 2002
SAN FRANCISCO (June
3, 2002)
- Building maintenance personnel can now safely remove stairway-based
light fixtures for relamping and replacing without a ladder by
using the new Accessmount™ Removable Fixture Mounting System*.
Accessmount LLC's Removable
Fixture Mounting System is a new concept in fixture removability.
It significantly reduces the potential for fall injuries by eliminating
the need for ladders, and increases the likelihood of safety lighting
maintenance by reducing the time and effort required. A specially
designed pole-mountable removal tool is used to couple and de-couple
the system while the user stands firmly on the floor.
The Accessmount™
System* consists of a two-piece set of disks, with one permanently
attached and wired to the overhead J-box and the other wired to
the light fixture. When coupled, electrical current flows through
the disks and supplies power to the fixture.
Fixture maintenance
in high-traffic or access-sensitive areas can be completed quickly.
Additionally, it increases building maintenance personnel productivity
as the time required to mount, remove and relamp hard-to-reach
fixtures is sharply reduced.
The ideal location
for a stairway light is directly over the steps, where it will
cast the maximum amount of light while generating the fewest shadows.
This location is also the most difficult for installation and
maintenance because there is no flat surface available on which
to place a ladder. A fall from the ladder to the ground during
maintenance might be less than six feet, but falling down the
flight of stairs could add an additional 10-12 feet to the fall.
The combination of
reduced risk from ladder falls and the increased productivity
of building maintenance personnel will generate significant savings
to building operating budgets and the Removable Fixture Mount
System can pay for itself.
Accessmount LLC is
a start-up company that manufactures and licenses proprietary
fixture mounting systems. These systems allow ground-based removal
and replacement for enhanced safety and cost savings.
