Tridonic, a world-leading supplier of lighting technology, and NMB-Minebea-GmbH, which is part of the MinebeaMitsumi group, the major producer of machinery components and electronics devices, have signed a contract to form a strategic partnership. The partnership aims to develop intelligent outdoor lighting solutions for Smart Cities. more

The new Beijing Daxing International Airport, approximately 50 kilometres south of the Chinese capital, is already being hailed as a mega airport – and not without reason. Enormous capacity, unique architecture, rapid construction and special, customizable lighting are the hallmarks of the building. Tridonic played a major role in providing optimum lighting. The technology company supplied drivers, intelligent lighting control and light-on-demand with daylight tracking for this mega project. more

As part of the “Digital City Darmstadt” project, a street section in the Wixhausen area of Darmstadt has been equipped with adaptive lighting. Integrated PIR sensors react to movement and ambient light and control the street lamps as required. This not only makes for greater safety and saves energy but also protects the environment from light pollution. Wireless modules are used to connect the street lamps to one another and to the Internet of Things (IoT). The project is Tridonic’s first installation of innovative Smart City technology with light-on-demand functionality. more

As of 1 September 2019 Hedwig Maes will take over as CEO of Tridonic, the lighting technology company of the Zumtobel Group. In this function, he succeeds Guido van Tartwijk, who left the company at his own request at the end of last year. Hedwig Maes reports directly to Alfred Felder, CEO Zumtobel Group. more

Its beginnings date back to the 11^th century and it is a cultural asset of national importance. Therefore, anyone who carries out construction work or technical installations in the Temple de Lutry in the heart of the old town of Lutry has to meet stringent requirements. In the recent upgrade of the lighting to LED technology, the existing wiring had to be used as far as possible. Even so, a modern lighting control system could be implemented thanks to wireless technology from Tridonic. more

Tridonic and Casambi have teamed up to develop a new innovative wireless light management solution. Tridonic’s basicDIM Wireless system based on Casambi’s Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology offers an interconnected and interoperable solution for the hassle-free wireless connectivity of luminaires. more

When it comes to the presentation of goods, merchandise and works of art, the right lighting helps to create a special atmosphere and to delight viewers. However, different products, materials and colours require specific lighting moods. Tridonic offers a wide range of products for special lighting tasks, with the new LED modules in the seventh-generation SLE excite (EXC) series meeting the criteria for demanding applications in food, fashion and art. more

The fifth generation of the LLE ADV series offers an amazing improvement in efficacy and new features for modules with widths of 16 mm and 55 mm. 16 mm modules are now available in 70 mm lengths, and 55 mm modules are now fitted with holes for greater compatibility with commercially available lenses. more

For Bluetooth-based communication between luminaires Tridonic is launching two new Casambi Ready wireless modules in the basicDIM Wireless portfolio. They can be easily and flexibly integrated into existing systems and, with suitable sensors, can offer considerable potential energy savings. It is also possible for the lighting system to be individually adapted. more

Contactless data transfer using Near Field Communication (NFC) is becoming increasingly popular in luminaire production, as programming driver settings using NFC provides significant time savings. With its own NFC-compatible software package companionSUITE and LED drivers with NFC interface, Tridonic is making it easier to switch to this pioneering technology. more

With its flexible, linear constant-current LLE FLEX CC advanced modules Tridonic offers efficient LED modules from the reel which are easy to install thanks to 3M adhesive tape, and take up little space in the warehouse. AVX terminals or solder points can be used for simple wiring with no shadows. more

If an entire infrastructure project is to be buried underground then it is obvious that the lighting will be of paramount importance. This is certainly the case with London's Crossrail line (aka the Elizabeth Line) which will significantly reduce journey times across London for millions when it opens in 2019. more

Third-generation outdoor drivers from the excite (EXC) and advanced (ADV) series by Tridonic are now available, all with NFC interface. The dimmable control gear elements for the luminaire fixture are available in various wattages and also, if required, with matching LED modules. more

With a height of only 11 or 16 mm the new drivers in the premium series (PRE) from Tridonic give luminaire designers enormous freedom to create versatile luminaire designs. In addition to the usual wide dimming range and one4all interface there are versions with an NFC interface. The 16 mm versions also have an integrated DALI power supply (po4a). more

With the in-track drivers in the advanced and excite (ADV/EXC) series, Tridonic is continuing with the miniaturisation of its control gear. The drivers have an output power of 25 or 40 W and are integrated directly in the adapter for the 230 V track systems so there is no longer any need for a trackbox. more

Tridonic has now equipped its new LED drivers in the premium (PRE) series with the basicDIM Wireless module. Quick, convenient, space-saving wireless lighting control is now possible without the need for any additional cabling. more

Tridonic has further developed its emergency lighting units. The new generation EM converterLED BASIC MH/LiFePO₄ in the low-profile housing now supports not only NiMH but also LiFePO₄ batteries and operates with intelligent battery management. more
