The straight element of the longer counter family, with an upper shelf: a 102 cm counter section, 109.5 cm high, twin 5600 mAh batteries, 25 kg. It gives you a longer counter from fewer elements. The price is shown above on this page.
LED bar counter 102 cm, with upper shelf (C181C)
This 102 cm LED bar counter is the straight element of the longer module family, with an upper storage shelf. The 102 cm counter section is 12 cm more than in the 90 cm family — which means the same counter length takes fewer elements, fewer joins and fewer trips. 109.5 cm high, 25 kg, with twin 5600 mAh batteries.

Technical specifications
How much counter you get from fewer elements
Three elements give 306 cm of counter, four give 408 cm. The same from the 90 cm family is 270 and 360 cm — so you gain 12 cm per element. On a 4-metre counter that is one element fewer: less money, less carrying, fewer join lines. With the 70 × 70 cm corner element an L shape is built, with arms of 70 + 102 = 172 cm. Two corners and three straight elements make a U shape, with a counter island of roughly 274 × 172 cm.
The upper shelf at the working position
The upper shelf is for fast-moving stock: glasses, syrups, tools, ice. The bartender reaches it in half a second — but the guest can see it too, so it has to be kept tidy, and the less attractive items should not be left on it until closing. A typical arrangement: the working position has the upper shelf, while the end element has side storage (C181A) for the reserve stock. If you are buying only one element, the one with the upper shelf is the more practical, because it gives more storage within easy reach.
Twin 5600 mAh: the largest capacity in the range
Two 5600 mAh cells work in this element, the largest capacity in the range. The manufacturer's lighting time is 6–8 hours depending on the colour — so an evening of bar service is comfortably covered, and charging can be done during the day before opening. The seven colours switch by remote control, on every element at once. A four-element counter therefore lights in a single, uniform colour, and can be switched over towards closing time in one movement.
Loading, cleaning
25 kg and 102 × 70 cm: plan for two people per piece. In the vehicle, four elements stand in one layer on a 1.7 × 3 metre floor, so a three-element, 306 cm counter fits into a van. The body is IP54 water-resistant, UV-resistant polyethylene. The counter top can be wiped down with a damp cloth, and there is no join line for syrup to stick in — after closing, the whole counter takes ten minutes. No chemicals are needed, which makes for a simpler routine in an outdoor, food-handling environment.
When to choose the shorter counter family instead
If your bar zone is tight, or you are building a counter shorter than 3 metres, the 90 cm family is better: the length can be stepped in finer 12 cm increments, and the 80 × 80 cm corner element costs less too. On a 180 cm counter, for instance, two elements of the 90 cm family give exactly that length, while the 102 cm family would give 204 cm. This family wins when you are building a long, continuous counter: above 4 metres the 12 cm gained per element saves you a whole element — which is a full element's price, one trip and one join line.
Typical applications
LED bar counter 102 cm, with upper shelf (C181C) — frequently asked questions
How much longer a counter does it give than the 90 cm family?
12 cm per element. Three elements give 306 cm, four give 408 cm — on a 4-metre counter that is one element fewer.
Which corner element goes with it?
The 70 × 70 cm corner, 109.5 cm high. With it you build an L shape with arms of 70 + 102 = 172 cm, and a U shape with an island of roughly 274 × 172 cm.
What is its running time?
The manufacturer states 6–8 hours, depending on the colour. Two 5600 mAh cells work in this element, the largest capacity in the range.
How many people are needed to set it up?
Two. At 25 kg and with a 102 × 70 cm body, that is one element per trip.
Does it need a cleaning agent?
Not necessarily, a damp cloth is enough. The polyethylene counter top has no join line for syrup to stick in — after closing, the whole counter takes ten minutes.
