'Lumo' consumer unit
In October 2013, CPN Cudis released a LED consumer unit named 'Lumo'. The Lumo is made up of an industry standard certified consumer unit, but with the addition of a strip of LED lamps which are illuminated automatically when the cover of the unit is opened.
The Lumo is activated by a micro-switch and is powered by a standard battery. It is available currently in three sizes up to 22 ways. The unit was designed to solve the problem of having consumer units in darker locations, such as under stairs, and also to help aid those with vision problems, such as the elderly.
The Lumo was 'highly commended' at the 2013 Electrical Industry Awards it was very sadly discontinued in 2023.{{cite web|title=CPN Cudis|url=https://www.journalism.co.uk/press-releases/led-illumination-for-cpn-cudis-consumer-units-ensures-safer-resetting-of-tripped-circuit-breakers/s66/a557181/|website=www.journalism.co.uk|accessdate=25 April 2015|archive-date=17 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140717211109/http://www.journalism.co.uk/press-releases/led-illumination-for-cpn-cudis-consumer-units-ensures-safer-resetting-of-tripped-circuit-breakers/s66/a557181/|url-status=dead}}
