Light + Building 2024: LEDVANCE presents new era of sustainable light
From March 3 to 8, 2024 more than 2,000 exhibitors will be presenting their innovations in lighting and building technology at Light + Building in Frankfurt am Main. Under the motto of “POWER THROUGH LIGHT”, world-leading lighting provider LEDVANCE will be showing its intelligent and efficient lighting and energy solutions at booth D10 in Hall 3.0 for anyone who wants to use the power of light – for a greener planet and a better life. LEDVANCE customers can discover the full potential of light not only in professional LED solutions for a wide range of applications or in the pioneering VIVARES light management systems – with a completely new photovoltaic range, the company is now expanding its services to include renewable energies. And LEDVANCE uses the EVERLOOP and NATURELOOP product lines geared toward an effective circular economy to position itself as a pioneer for sustainable, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly LED luminaires and lamps.
True to the new brand positioning of “POWER THROUGH LIGHT” the lighting specialist’s presence at the fair heralds a new era of innovative possibilities to fully use light, as a means of illumination and for power generation. By offering intelligent energy solutions, solar technologies and modern lighting systems for better working and living environments, LEDVANCE enables its customers to achieve significant savings in energy costs and reduce CO2 emissions and waste through sustainable products, solutions and processes while pursuing a clear objective: to contribute to a better quality of life on a greener planet.
“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 increase 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 makes them truly circular.”
Professional solutions in all areas: LED innovations from LEDVANCE
The new era of LED lighting is reflected in innovative solutions in LEDVANCE’s core applications – office, industry, logistics, street and sports. Regardless of their use, all LED products are designed to meet clear requirements. They have to be sustainable and energy-saving, user-friendly and easy to install, handle and maintain, highly efficient and customizable. The high quality of light and low glare of the PANEL and LINEAR INDIVILED luminaires meet the expectations of modern office lighting. To satisfy demands in the industrial sector, LEDVANCE offers robust and durable luminaires with high IP/IK protection. In addition to the HIGHBAY luminaires, this includes the new high-performance LED tubes for particularly challenging areas. Outdoor conditions require 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. And in sports venue lighting, LEDVANCE offers versatile LOWBAY FLEX luminaires with optional ball-proof covers and LED solutions that are tailored to the customer’s requirements as part of the SPECIFY program, such as the FLOODLIGHT ARENA stadium floodlight.
Light management is VIVARES – versatile and powerful
In times of high energy prices, efficient and demand-oriented lighting control is important. With VIVARES, LEDVANCE presents a wide range of DALI and Zigbee-based light management systems that are easy to install and operate, and provide energy and CO2 savings of as much as 80%[1]. LEDVANCE offers VIVARES for single room solutions (up to 200 m2) as an individually designed light management system or for floor solutions (up to 1,000 m²) 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. LEDVANCE offers control units, luminaires, lamps and sensors from a single source, simple configuration and commissioning, individual support from lighting planning to on-site instruction, as well as comprehensive after-sales service.
The full potential of light – photovoltaic solutions from LEDVANCE
In LEDVANCE Renewables, the company is presenting a product range beyond classic lighting for the first time, positioning itself as an innovative one-stop shop for photovoltaic systems. The photovoltaic solutions are designed for private and commercial applications, with all the individual components perfectly matched to one another. The photovoltaic panels come as bifacial or monofacial modules, with power levels from 405 to 660 W and in various designs. The robust, highly efficient and intelligent string or hybrid inverters are compatible with all system components and are easy to install and operate. The various low-voltage and high-voltage batteries provide optimal performance and energy storage that can be expanded at any time using modules. And the LEDVANCE Renewables app allows users to monitor and control the system from any location at any time. LEDVANCE’s technical support helps customers to get the most out of the system – from initial consultation, delivery and installation to power and energy monitoring.
From line to loop – new ways into a sustainable future
Under the new umbrella brand of LEDVANCE LOOP, LEDVANCE is consolidating all the new developments and actions for greater sustainability, pushing forward the transition from linear to circular processes. The results of this strategic realignment are the two new product lines EVERLOOP and NATURELOOP. EVERLOOP is the name for luminaires with easily replaceable LED light sources and drivers. Replacing individual components maximizes the luminaire’s life and promotes a functioning circular economy. LINEAR INDIVILED, DAMP PROOF and SURFACE FLAT are the first luminaires in the EVERLOOP series. The NATURELOOP label stands for lamps and products that are manufactured and packaged using recycled materials. Each LEDVANCE lamp with a NATURELOOP label contains at least 40% recycled plastic (based on the plastic content of the product)[2]. What’s more, NATURELOOP packaging is fully recyclable. Awards such as ECOVADIS Silver and a broad set of environmental product declarations acc. to PEP underline this commitment.
