GANCHUFO: the socket for lighting points

WHAT is Ganchufo?

Ganchufo is a socket for lighting points with ceiling hook incorporated.
A spanish patent marketed by Ganchufo SL.
It´s a constructive improvement for a safe, esthetic, and confortable solution, from a unsolved problem.
Normally, the construction came with loose wires or bad topped in the lighting circuit terminations. The point of light is planned and executed only to the switch, leaving unfinished the light spot, properly speaking.
Aware of this problem, this new product has been created, giving joint response to all the inconveniences caused by this lack constructive.

WHY ganchufo?

The ganchufo is a constructive improvement with six major advantages that make it very attractive application, responding to many inconvenient jointly:

SAFETY:

With the ganchufo, all electrical installation is fully executed by skilled labor, and at no time was it possible intervention by others.
If you place a lamp holder, sooner or later, it will be replaced, and not always be made by the installation company.

ESTHETIC:

Today we have some wires hanging from a corrugated pipe that sticks through a hole in the roof. The ganchufo is a decorative piece that admits infinite solutions with different geometries, materials, colors,..
We started talking about the ceiling´s decoration (or wall) from the point of light, where we can put custom embellishers for each customer, and for each luminaire design.

COMFORT:

Place a luminaire, is a real inconvenience to anyone who buys a house or any other property of any other use. Not always call installing company and poses a risk of direct contact and a fight with the luminaire, clamps and hooks.
With ganchufo two simple gestures will suffice: hooked and plugged.

PRICE:

The increase in budget execution will be extremely low, and will not exceed a few percent of the total work. Certainly, who would win with these prices, it is the client.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY:

The optimum cable section guaranteed for installation company, influences the energy efficiency of the lamps (in its performance), in the same or greater extent than the maintenance of the luminaires can do it, an easier action with the ganchufo.

INSTALL SIMPLICITY:

Two independent perforations; one for the hook, other for electrical junction box.
The perfect grip of the hook in all roof surface is guaranteed with cleaning drilling. hook fall is not possible.

WHO is interested?

ARCHITECTS:

No technician responsible in drafting projects, may favor the indeterminacy of the lighting points. For the lighting circuit, the budget only defined the switch, and how to end points of lighting is determined by installers, who leave loose wires.
For safety, electrical installations must be designed and implemented using the necessary protective measures against electrical shock, always inside junction boxes.
They will be able to define the finished design, which can be exclusive for each client (geometry, material, color, ...). We opened a new concept in the design and decoration of the ceilings.
The ganchufo was selected by the CSCAE (SUPERIOR COUNCIL OF ARCHITECTS OF SPAIN) for the exhibition "Arquitectura en positivo" ("Positive architecture"), held at the I International Construction Exhibition Madrid. Veteco Fair, from 9 to 11 May 2012

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS:

Definitely, what people are looking for a good real estate developer is the quality of its construction, which should not only focus on the quality of their materials, but also in the quality finishing details.
Greater care in all these aspects, implies higher degree of customer satisfaction.
Ganchufo is an improvement that should not be presented as such, but simply as inseparable labor of the whole construction. It is a very economical measure, and the advantages are remarkable.

BUILDERS:

They have the same responsibility as real estate promoters, and respond to the quality of construction.
In a bidding, an improvement of this type of low economic burden, may make the award is made to who offer it.
A real case like photography, allows us to understand how a detail may call into question the whole works quality.

INSTALLERS:

They give the approval to the installation and certify if it´s ready for operation.
Aware of the danger posed by loose wiring for an inexperienced person and without jurisdiction, they leave irresponsibly the lighting points pending execution. This should not be in the conduct of a good installer.
They should be made aware that something they see as normal and not dangerous, such as loose wires, is very uncomfortable for most people, having real panic to electricity.

PARTICULAR:

Without doubt, they are the biggest beneficiaries of the new product. Everyone will enjoy the ganchufo.
It´s may also be sold to existing homes, given the high number of DIY enthusiasts.
To place a floor luminaire no need to call an installer. With the ganchufo executed, to place a ceiling luminaries, either.
The maintenance, cleaning, replacement, ...., may be made with the luminaire on the floor (off hook), without disconnecting power every time you handle.
