February 2025 Scolmore Group Round-Up

Welcome to the February edition of Plugged In! February is the month of love, and we've had so much to fall head over heels for! ??

From exciting new products to fresh faces, we'll cover all the key highlights from Scolmore Group this month.

Starting as always with product launches, we were not shy on new installations must-haves!

Biggest news first- Elucian launched the much-anticipated Three Phase range of distribution boards and protective devices. There's far too much to mention here, so scroll further down to find out more!

Espire, a brand-new range of fire and CO alarms, was introduced under the ESP brand. Like with Three Phase, there's plenty to cover, so make sure to keep scrolling for all the details.

Let's move the spotlight over to Ovia Lighting . The Gator floodlights are a trusted favourite from Ovia, so we launched the Gator Collars to help complete the installation!

Unicrimp came in hot with conduit accessories as part of the Q-Crimp range. Help keep conduit secure with reliable, durable accessories, including Conduit Boxes, Light Gauge Saddles, Inspection Tees, Inspection Bends, and Metal Hooks.

The second instalment from Unicrimp was adding to their range of Copper Tube Terminals. The Narrow Palm Copper Lugs are designed for applications where space is limited or compact installations are required, the narrow profile of the new lugs offers a perfect solution compared to standard lugs.

The third new product from Unicrimp was an OB41 Zinc Galvanising Spray. The fast-drying film dries to be the same colour as newly galvanised metals, to help polish off the installation.

And finally, Unicrimp rolled out Heavy Duty Flooring Protection, to help installers leave jobs with clean and tidy floors.

Towards the end of the month, Click added a new addition to their wiring accessories offering, Metal Clad Pro. The toughness and reliability of traditional Metal Clad, combined with elevated style create a unique range suitable for industrial locations, and properties wanting an industrial feel.

It’s been a busy month for product launches! Now, let’s move on to other news below.

Sun, Sea, and Sparks

The last time we spoke with Fabian Maciejewski he was an apprentice competing in the SkillELECTRIC final, but now he's making waves in St Lucia!

Innovation in every connection

Elucian has gone through some changes! ?

With a shiny new website and updated look, Elucian has expanded to include Three Phase distribution boards and protective devices.

It was only in 2021 that Elucian was first launched, focusing on Single Phase consumer units for domestic and light commercial properties. Since then, Elucian has grown thanks to the electrical installers that have trusted us to provide reliable and safe equipment.

What is DALI?

DALI is an integral component in lighting controls, especially in commercial properties, but there's more to it than that! We've been putting together guides and videos to help installers understand DALI, and where it can be installed to help the user control multiple lights (up to 64 components can be on one system).

Find more answers about DALI in our FAQs.

Love is in the air

For a special Valentine's date, Unicrimp partnered with OB1 to give one lucky winner a bundle of goodies from both companies, because two is always better than one. We saw many of the entrants' passion as they left multiple comments in a bid to win the bundle, but sadly only one could take it home.

Congratulations to our winner, timi_tj221!
