CRS adds Philips Dynalite controls to data and communications portfolio

Philips Dynalite has appointed CRS as its Value Added Partner (VAP). The founder and CEO of CRS, Brendan Dessent, believes the addition of integrated lighting control and energy management systems is a logical extension of the company’s already expansive product portfolio. 

The Philips Dynalite range is extensive and comprises load controllers, user interfaces and integration devices to provide fully customised lighting control, energy management and building automation solutions across a range of applications - from greenfield sites and new-build projects through to commercial fitouts. 

“Our customers know us for our superior ICT infrastructure solutions, which include racking, security data caging, computer room hot and cold aisle containment, network connectivity, UPS systems, power monitoring and intelligent networked power distribution. We are now able to provide complementary control products that deliver the most energ-efficient installation possible,” said Dessent. 

Access to the Philips Dynalite range is bolstered by the appointment of a number of key personnel from the former Dynalite family - Laurence Coote, general manager (previously a partner and sales director at Dynalite); Terry Bonham, technical manager (previously a partner and engineering services director at Dynalite); Grant Thomson, NSW state manager, who has over 14 years’ experience in the controls space, including eight years in strategic sales management roles at Dynalite; Larry Nicholas, NSW senior business development manager (joined CRS after more than half a decade with Philips Lighting); Philip Gouveia, NSW sales support engineer (spent over seven years designing and supporting the Philips Dynalite portfolio). 

The new additions round out the established national CRS team, whose combined expertise delivers on every aspect of a project - from in-house technical design and R&D through to post-installation follow-up.
