A new era of sustainable light for modern lighting systems

14-02-2024 | Ledvance | Industrial

LEDVANCE will introduce a new era of innovative possibilities to use light to its full potential for illumination and power generation at Light + Building 2024. Providing intelligent energy solutions, solar technologies, and modern lighting systems for better working and living environments enables its customers to attain substantial energy cost savings and reduce CO2 emissions and waste through sustainable products, solutions, and processes.

“For us, sustainability is not an afterthought but a benchmark for truly innovative products and a crucial ingredient for our corporate strategy,” explains Jean-Marc Vogel, managing director Western Europe at LEDVANCE. “This commitment is effective only, however, when applied across the entire chain. That’s why we’re providing sustained impetus throughout all areas of application – from LEDification in outdoor lighting to increased energy efficiency with new retrofit LEDs to the EVERLOOP product segment, which helps to replace light sources and control gear in LED luminaires very easily and, therefore, making them truly circular.”

The new Renewables product range delivers customers photovoltaic systems and associated services from a single, trusted source. The photovoltaic panels are designed for private and commercial applications as bifacial or monofacial modules, with power levels from 405W to 660W and in various designs. The robust, highly efficient, intelligent string or hybrid inverters are compatible with all system components and easy to install and operate. The various low-voltage and high-voltage batteries provide optimal performance and energy storage that can be expanded anytime. A Renewables app enables users to monitor and control the system from any location. Technical support helps customers get the most out of the system – from initial consultation, delivery, and installation to power and energy monitoring and management.

LEDVANCE LOOP is a new series of sustainable luminaires released to help transform the lighting industry and provide greater sustainability by pushing forward the transition from linear to circular processes. This strategic realignment results in two new product lines, EVERLOOP and NATURELOOP.

The EVERLOOP range provides easily replaceable LED light sources and drivers to maximise the lifespan of luminaires, avoid the disposal of complete luminaires, and reduce the number of electrical products going into the waste stream, thereby promoting a functioning circular economy. The NATURELOOP label stands for lamps and products manufactured and packaged using recycled materials. Each product with a NATURELOOP label contains at least 40% recycled plastic (based on the plastic content of the product). The packaging is also fully recyclable.

The high quality of light and low glare of the PANEL and LINEAR INDIVILED luminaires fulfil the expectations of modern office lighting. The company offers robust and durable luminaires with high IP/IK protection to satisfy demands in the industrial sector. In addition to the HIGHBAY luminaires, this comprises the new high-performance LED tubes for particularly challenging areas.

Outdoor conditions need lighting solutions that are highly efficient, durable and standard-compliant, such as the STREETLIGHT FLEX luminaires or the varied BULKHEAD portfolio with power select and IP65 protection. For sports venue lighting, the LOWBAY FLEX luminaires with optional ball-proof covers and LED solutions are tailored to the customer’s needs as part of the SPECIFY program, such as the FLOODLIGHT ARENA stadium floodlight. For areas that need constant lighting, such as streets, parks and pedestrian zones, the economic NAV LED FILAMENT AMBER retrofit solution offers a very low proportion of blue light (1.5%), which helps to protect wildlife and residents from the potential adverse effects of blue light at nighttime.

VIVARES offers a wide range of DALI and Zigbee-based light management systems that are straightforward to install and operate and supply energy and CO2 savings of as much as 80%. The company offers the system for single-room solutions (up to 200m2) as an individually designed light management system or for floor solutions (up to 1,000m²) across multiple rooms, including optional cloud embedding with a remote maintenance option. The systems work either with the established DALI-2 industry standard to operate up to 1,000 luminaires and 1,000 input devices or the Zigbee 3.0 wireless standard to communicate with up to 200 compatible devices. The company offers control units, luminaires, lamps, and sensors from a single source, simple configuration and commissioning, individual support from lighting planning to on-site instruction, and comprehensive after-sales service.
