Hamilton confirms a busy schedule of UK trade shows for Autumn and Winter 2021. After a pandemic-induced pause to events, the Hamilton sales team is excited for the opportunity to meet with customers face-to-face again and showcase new products and finish additions to its vast range of decorative wiring solutions, suitable for both commercial and residential project requirements.

Hamilton’s 2021 show schedule:

22-25 September – Design London, Magazine London
4-5 October – Independent Hotel Show, Olympia London
10-13 October – Decorex, Olympia London
4-5 November – ELEX Sandown, Esher, Surrey
9-10 December – ELEX Exeter, Westpoint Arena, Devon

New, new, new!

Hamilton will unveil two new plate finishes at Design London – Basalt Gray and Anthra Gray. Expanding the British manufacturer’s metallic finish offering, and inspired by Italian design trends, Basalt provides a teasing refractive aesthetic. A grey base with a neutral cast and subtle bronze hue provides a warm, nature-inspired finish to Hamilton’s wiring accessories and is the perfect accompaniment to many earthy colours, including Brave Ground™ – Dulux Colour of the Year 2021.

Anthra Gray has a subtle granular finish that oozes volcanic strength and natural sophistication. Free samples of both new finishes will be available on the stand. Additionally, a new insert finish has also been added to Hamilton’s popular Hartland collection and will be on display. Alongside Black and White inserts, new Quartz Grey has been added to Hamilton’s range.

A bright move with a new 250W dimmer

Towards the end of the year at ELEX Sandown and ELEX Exeter, Hamilton will debut its new 250W LED Dimmer, the LEDIT-B250. Expanding the LEDIT-B Dimmer range, this 250W ‘big brother’ to the LEDIT-B100 enables dimming from two switches on a circuit with a combined multi-lamp load of 250W, making it suitable for large rooms with two entrances/exits, or applications such as stairway lighting.

It comes pre-set to ‘Trailing-Edge’ as standard, with a manual setting to ‘Leading-Edge’. Its Soft Start’ feature helps extend lamp life, while Hamilton’s proven LEDstat intelligent dimmer technology overcomes the common issue of compatibility between branded LED lamps and conventional dimmers.

Wide Rocker – same fixing, same quality

A contemporary twist on a standard design, Hamilton's new Wide Rocker Switches feature the same standard back box fixing as their dependable exceptional quality but in a design influenced by Asian trends. Available across five Linea CFX collections, as well as Hartland CFX and Sheer CFX, they come in 1, 2 and 3-gang switch configurations, 1-gang Push-To-Make (PTM), Double Pole and Intermediate Wide Rockers.

The Wide Rocker Switches are becoming increasingly popular in Europe for both residential and commercial properties, with hotels catering for international travellers leading the way in terms of demand.

Perception CFX – avoid distraction

As the trend for bold wallpaper designs and striking murals continues, Hamilton will show its Perception CFX collection – a clear plate that enables the wiring accessory to dissolve into the wallcovering, allowing the wall design to really stand out.

The transparent plate has concealed fixings and a clear snap-on front plate that houses an insert of the chosen wall covering, making the switch plates and sockets almost imperceptible when fitted. To learn more about Perception CFX, how to fit and insert a wall covering, eFIXX has developed a detailed tutorial video, which you can watch here.

Paintables – hassle-free colour matching

Whether switches and sockets need to blend in or stand out, Hamilton has the solution courtesy of its Paintable service. With the ability to match any RAL, British Standards or Natural Colour System reference, Hamilton can powder coat accessories to replicate wall colours, soft furnishings, or any element of the design scheme.

Alternatively, it can also supply primed plates ready for painting on site. Hamilton has increased its production capacity of this popular service at its Bristol headquarters, even for low volume project requirements. See how easy and hassle-free the Paintable service is at any of Hamilton’s 2021 shows.
