| Emergency lighting is an expression of responsibility towards people  The international Zumtobel premium brand provides integral lighting solutions involving high-quality luminaires and lighting management systems in numerous areas of application of professional interior lighting. Zumtobel's products combine excellent design and trend-setting technology in a harmonious way, triggering innovative impulses, with a focus on the brand's philosophy to create worlds of experience with light. The ONLITE product range is proof of Zumtobel's extensive expertise in the sphere of emergency lighting, which is an integral component of each lighting solution.ONLITE Product Manager Bernhard Klocker: - The potential turnover is considerable, since about 15-20 percent of the lighting budget are typically allocated to emergency lighting. Zumtobel has been able to increase its turnover with emergency lighting systems by as much as 150% since 2006. This impressive development is not only proof of the high innovative and practical quality of our ONLITE products, but also shows that investors, architects and designers acknowledge our extensive expertise in this field. By implementing emergency lighting as an integral component of every lighting solution, we also meet the core claim of the Zumtobel brand: to create maximum value for our customers by providing integral solutions. - LED technology plays an important role also in the ONLITE portfolio, since all ONLITE emergency luminaires are fitted with advanced LED modules. But to us, technology means much more. It means using innovative materials, highly advanced optics and high-precision light distribution systems, as well as dealing with questions of installation, fixing and maintenance. However, technology and creation of value also means to us to support our customers in terms of supplying systems, design details and services offered for commissioning and maintenance. The integral approach is deeply rooted in all of Zumtobel's application areas. - Design is an essential aspect in our luminaire development. In the field of emergency lighting we collaborate with renowned architects and designers, such as Matteo Thun or EOOS. It is very important to us that our luminaires can be integrated into a variety of buildings with varying spatial and structural conditions, without being dominating in terms of design. They must fulfil their task to a T in emergencies, while being highly unobtrusive during day-to-day operation. - Basically, we cover all areas of professional emergency lighting. However, it is important to know that, in addition to the special ONLITE range, each Zumtobel luminaire is also optionally available as an emergency luminaire. Thus, there is no better way to integrate emergency luminaires into the general lighting system. All luminaires are characterised by minimum energy consumption, both in normal operation and during emergency operation. Moreover, we also supply luminaires for harsh environmental conditions. - For Zumtobel it is a matter of course to be represented in national standardisation bodies to keep up to date at all times. Over the years, our knowledge of standards has greatly increased, which is also reflected in the standards brochures on the topic of emergency lighting, which have even become standard reference sources for electricians and lighting designers in a number of countries. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
