Loncin LC2000i Inverter Generator

Loncin LC2000i Inverter Generator was £499.00 now £475.00
They say the best things come in small packages, and this lightweight, powerful and reliable Loncin LC200i Inverter Generator is a good example. Loncin’s aim is to lower carbon emissions while using the latest technology to develop a range of highly economical and reliable products. This suitcase-style generator with its minimal footprint is ideal for providing cheap, consistent electricity for leisure use and as a back-up for use at home, providing safe ‘spike’ free power, ideal for sensitive equipment like laptops, games consoles and televisions susceptible to power variations. * The inverter is a lightweight microprocessor that replaces the traditional heavy alternator and thanks to the carefully developed inverter technology, the voltage output is isolated from the engine speed, maintaining a smooth and consistent output of power, with no fluctuations. Power cuts can and do happen and if you work from home, perhaps in a rural area this generator can offer peace of mind – enabling you to pick up and send e-mails and keep working. * Or perhaps you want to use your laptop or watch TV while camping or on a caravanning holiday. This generator is a great, cost effective power source for those times when you are away from the power grid. * It has a fuel capacity of 4.2 litres, and will produce 1.6kw (120/240V) of continuous power and reduces fuel consumption by up to 25%, making it an economical, as well as a reliable, option. Low in carbon emissions the Loncin 2000i Inverter really is a generator for the modern age, with a powerful 79cc, 148F single-cylinder, 4-stroke OHV engine. It has an eco throttle, varying the engine speed to suit the applied load, helping keep the noise down in low loads In fact, this model is remarkably quiet, at 61 dB (A) compared with many similar specified models. We can vouch for this having seen and heard it in action. It has an easy and reliable and a generous running time of around seven hours on a full tank, enough to do some uninterrupted work on your computer and still have time to watch a DVD. A carrying handle makes it easy to transport and with dimensions of just 49.9cm in length, by 28.5cm width with a height of 45.5cm, it will store comfortably in most caravans, camper vans or even the boot of the car. Low in vibration, it has an eco throttle and a DC output included for battery charging, making it a very versatile unit. NB: It is important to check the wattage requirements of the equipment you intend to power so you can buy the right generator. For your information a general laptop requirement would be under perhaps 50-70 and a modern flat-screen TV (32

Loncin LC8000D-F Petrol Powered Generator

Loncin LC8000D-F Petrol Powered Generator £699.00
If you need to drive power tools, garden tools, household items such as fridges, microwaves and even washing machines this easily stored, easily moved and easy to use, rugged and reliable top of the range generator from Loncin is the perfect solution. Powerful and sturdy enough to run larger items like hammer drills, heaters, circular saws and even cement mixers on a building site; it will withstand daily and comprehensive use. This generator is also ideal as a back-up to domestic power failure or smaller offices and business premises; as well as for leisure needs like caravan holidays, mobile homes or to power facilities in a mobile fast-food outfit. The LC8000-F Generator delivers 8 hours worth of continuous power with the large fuel tank capacity of 25 litres. It produces net power of 12HP with a rated output of 6.0 kilowatts and a maximum output of 7.5 kilowatts and has rated voltage outputs of 110/230v. The engine behind the impressive performance of this generator is a top quality commercial grade single-cylinder Loncin G420F-1, with displacement of 420cc forced air-cooling and overhead valve technology for very economic, quiet running with lower vibrations, good fuel economy and lower carbon emissions, something Loncin, as a company, cares a great deal about. Automatic voltage regulation makes sure the flow of electricity is even and smooth and there are alarm/safety systems to cope with both low oil levels and overloading. Three sockets are featured (32amp) and the generator starts very easily thanks to reliable transistorized magneto ignition. This model has a convenient, reliable and easy to use electric start, with a recoil as a back up This model’s low vibrations contribute to lower noise from this large generator, and at around 76 dB (A) the generator is quieter than a food blender or even a garden shredder, even ‘quiet’ versions of garden shredders can be outputting around 84dB(A). The Loncin 65000-F has wheels and comfort handles in kit form, easy to attach, which will fold away, reducing the size of the generator for storage. The handles mean wheeling it around from work area to work area is made easy. NB: It is always useful to know the combined wattage of the equipment you are planning to power and to remember that some machines with induction motors require more power to start up than they do to run.

Garden care: Keep pruning to a minimum, but if necessary you can lightly trim it back immediately after flowering. Apply a generous mulch in spring, which will help keep the roots cool.
