The Simes bulkhead is a fixture of great historical importance as it was the very first product that SIMES presented to the market back in 1973. More specifically the oval bulkhead Plafoniere with the protective front grill was the very first item to go into production and immediately successful on the international market allowing SIMES to take the first steps towards what it is today. 

The bulkhead Plafoniere range was developed over the years so to cover various forms and sizes. During the years the light sources were also replaced from the traditional incandescent lamps of the 70', to Mercury vapor discharge lamps, up until the 90' when the flourescent source was introduced and still present in the current catalogue. Simes has now developed a new generation of bulkheads: whilst the design remains unchanged they are fitted with the latest LED technology. (below images of the bulkhead Plafoniere range).

We didn't want to change the form, but radically change the substance: the classic lines of the bulkheads with grill and visors both round and oval shaped  are still very much appreciated today. But a new soul now beats inside the fixture that is quite revolutionary in terms of performance and energy consumption: when compared to other light sources LEDs have better performances in terms of energy saving, thermal control and a lifetime of up to 50.000 hours and therefore does not have to be substituted as frequently as traditional light sources.

The same technical upgrade has been given to our legendary Column bollard now available with LED technology. A milestone of the SIMES product range, always present in the bollard section of our SIMES general catalogue. Column is a solid and essential bollard, ideal for residential or urban applications such as parking lots or general areas of transit.
