Schréder joined the Department of Science
and Technology (DST) to hand over a computer
research lab to Moipone Academy Science Centre
(MASC) in Tembisa.
The lack of information and exposure available
for school learners motivated Joseph Taetsane to
campaign for a science and information centre in
the township of Tembisa and, on 29 November,
BEKA Schréder handed over an after-school
computer research lab and became the first private
entity to invest in the only science centre in the East
Rand. The lab will assist with access to information
for school learners and much needed computer
skills for unemployed youth in the community.
BEKA Schréder general manager, Wimpie Ludwick
stressed the need for access to network and
connectivity and pledged extra support for MASC’s
connectivity, a ‘second phase’ to the existing project.
MASC will use the computer lab for after-school
programmes for computer literacy and in-house
activity programmes, such as Robotics, using CAD
(Computer Aided Drafting) to design car models
for the Jaguar Primary School competition. School
teachers will be taught modern ways of imparting
knowledge, soft skills in office suite programs, and
creating data sheets and presentations.
“BEKA Schréder has been honoured to be
part of this initiative. It is not only in line with our
people values but also one of the ways in which
we are giving back to the local community and the
economy” concluded BEKA’s Sibusiso Skosana.

ecurity lighting has changed drastically in
recent years, from twisty bulbs to efficient
LED fittings. Major Tech has introduced a
new economical range of LED floodlights, which
incorporate high power LED chips capable of
producing a high lumen output and that have been
designed as a replacement for traditional floodlights.
The choice of LED floodlights over traditional
floodlights means energy savings and overall better
lighting. Major Tech’s LFB LED floodlight range is
designed to ensure low heat emissions,a long lifespan
(around 25 000 hours) and improved visibility.
The LFB LED floodlight range is a slimline,
compact design and is designed as a replacement
for traditional floodlights. The glass cover is 4 mm
strengthened clear glass that is waterproof and
resistant to all environmental factors such as
humidity. The lighting source is made up of high
power SMD LEDs that are directly connected to the
aluminium shell, which ensures low heat emission
and a longer lifespan.
These quality corrosion-
resistant
IP65
LED
floodlights are available in
10 W and 20 W. Features
include
a
120°
beam angle; >0.9
power factor; and
4 000 K daylight colour
temperature.
