DC lighting solutions for the industry of tomorrow

Renewable energies are increasingly being generated in a decentralised manner - for example, through solar panels on rooftops or wind power in close proximity. The direct use of direct current opens up entirely new possibilities for the industry: more efficient, more sustainable, more economical. DC lighting solutions not only significantly reduce energy costs, but also enhance overall efficiency – a true advancement for modern production environments.

Light for sustainable infrastructures

Investing in direct current infrastructure pays off quicker than many might expect. By eliminating conversion losses, the energy efficiency of individual devices can be increased by up to six percent. Combined with in-house energy generation and battery storage, the external power demand is minimised. Additional savings potential arises from recuperation in robots, conveyor belts, and installations - a future-proof overall system.

Sustainable modernisation of existing installations

With TECTON DC, you can retrofit existing lighting easily and sustainably, without replacing the entire infrastructure. The existing trunking system will be retained; only the power supply units and luminaires will be replaced. This saves costs, reduces installation effort, and enables energy-efficient lighting over a length of more than 50 metres.

Direct current advances climate-neutral production

DC systems promote a climate-friendly industry as they utilise renewable energies directly and with minimal losses. This measurably reduces CO₂ emissions. As an active member of the Open Direct Current Alliance, Zumtobel is dedicated to ensuring a future-proof and sustainable use of direct current, establishing the infrastructure for the industry of tomorrow.

TECTON DC – A BREAKTHROUGH FOR SUSTAINABLE LIGHTING

Zumtobel was the first luminaire manufacturer to develop a DC lighting system that fully complies with ODCA (Open Direct Current Alliance) recommendations. TECTON DC saves up to six percent energy compared to AC solutions, utilises on-site generated electricity, and integrates seamlessly into DC building infrastructure. A solution that is ecologically convincing – and more resilient to crises than conventional systems.
