ADVANTAGES of ELECTRONIC VOTIVE STANDS include:-
* clean walls & ceilings (no soot)
* clean stands & floor (no wax)
* totally safe (no flame)
* low running cost
* fully guaranteed
* avoids the risk of Contagion
ELECTRONIC STANDS with Candles or Lights on the stand are fully AUTOMATIC
The lights/candles on these AUTOMATIC Electronic Votive Stands are pre-set at the factory to remain lit for 1.5 hours, however, on request, they can be pre-set for any period from 10 minutes to 3 hours.
The lights/candles remain permanently in place on the Electronic Stand and light up by the action of an offering breaking the beam as it enters the money box.
For Candle Stands there is the option of 21, 33, 48 or 60 candles and for Light Stands there is the option of 21, 33, or 60 Lights.
Automatic Electronic Stands operate as follows:
When the coin/note is inserted (or card if no currency is wanted - sometimes an option preferred in schools and hospitals) a beam is broken and a candle/light is randomly selected emitting 3 warning flashes ensuring the parishioner/visitor is aware.
However when 75% of the candles/lights are lit the candles/lights turn off one at a time in their order of placement in order to guarantee potential space for new lightings up.
This feature means that each candle has a time limit determined according to how many candles/lights are lit thereby allowing longer pre-set timings thereby attracting parishioners/visitors due to the stand remaining activated with light for longer and yet allowing all new parishioners/visitors the opportunity to light a candle/light.
(In all cases this option has the Candle/Light console set on a highly attractive, robust and durable stand made of the highest quality materials with a bronzed finish and fitted with high security locks. This style of stand extends accross the whole range.)
The lights or candles are placed on the Electric Stand in a similar way to a conventional votive stand and light up simply by ‘low voltage’ contact
ELECTRONIC STANDS with Candles or Lights on the stand are fully AUTOMATIC and are inexpensive to run
Low voltage running costs with all lights lit cost a few pence per day.
A manufacturers guarantee of two years is provided on all Electronic stands.
Whilst there is always a running debate - the real flame versus the artificial light - these stands provide for absolute safety in School, Hospital, Airport, RAF or Armed Forces chapels and where insurance companies exclude the use of a naked flame. They reduce your carbon footprint, satisfy all health & safety considerations and running costs are minimal.
In these days of political correctness with the possibilities of litigation under the 'Health & Safety Acts' we shoulder severe responsibilities for 'Risk Assessment'.
The challenge of 'Risk Assessment' is not having the benefit of hindsight yet needing to be able to assess the potential hazards and the probability and severity of any occurrence.
Whilst the 'real flame' is normally viewed aesthetically as looking 'best' the only course offering a virtual zero risk is an electric or electronic equivalent.
ELECTRONIC OPTIONS HELP IN REMOVING GENERATIONS OF SOOT
Restoration to remove many years of soot often goes beyond cleaning the stonework to the renovation of the pews, new carpeting, refurbishment of the Stations of the Cross and restoration of art works.
In order to retain the many beautiful colours and the many delicate finishes and features that have been revealed steps are often taken to avoid it ever happening again.
KEY SOLUTIONS: - CLEAN - NO WAX or SOOT : SAFE - NO FLAME : COSTS - Minimal Running Costs
ADDITIONALLY - ELECTRONIC stands AVOID the risk of contagion as the stand is Automatic in the lighting up & extinguishing of the candle/light. The act of the offering being placed directly through the money box slot starts the process without need to touch the stand.
All stands are designed to keep safe the Sacristan or Priest. The key that is inserted into the Money Box/Safe keyhole is turned for the door to drop down. The door itself does not need to be touched. The inner box holds the money so as the box is extracted the Sacristan or Priest does not need to touch the money. The money can then be tipped into another container to allow a couple of days quarantine before counting the money. The inner money box can then be reinserted into the stand and the door closed shut using the key as the handle. Seamless and safe.)
