Using replaceable parts, Everloop products are said to maximise a luminaire’s lifespan, avoiding the need to dispose of complete luminaires and reducing the number of electrical products going into the waste stream.
The first model of the series to be available is the Ledvance Linear IndiviLED Gen 2 in December 2023, offering both direct and indirect versions with On/Off or DALI options, respectively. The range offers CRI90 and UGR<19, which makes it suitable for office applications.
With a greater lifespan, these luminaires are expected to be a sustainable choice for installers, planners, and facility managers, ensuring sustainable efficiency of industrial and office applications as well as public buildings. In addition to an extended lifetime and reduced waste, benefits include cost savings, as well as allowing buildings to maintain the same looks.
Paiva, head of professional portfolio management at Ledvance, said: “Everloop is our answer to the challenge of going from a linear to a circular product lifecycle for luminaires, contributing to the EU’s plan to reduce electronic waste. The key feature of Everloop luminaires is that critical components, such as the light sources and drivers, are conveniently upgradeable or replaceable, with available spare parts. That makes the luminaire ever-lasting. In the future, we intend to integrate this feature into more of our luminaire series to save material and minimise waste.”
The IndiviLED range will be expanded in spring 2024 with further types in the colour black and accessories to create a complete lighting system.
