Sleek design

LED luminaires are increasingly found in living areas. Ledvance presented its new models on the occasion of the Light + Building 2018 in Frankfurt.
The trend is going toward so-called panel luminaires. In this product family with names like "Planon", Ledvance especially uses the extremely flat design which is made possible by the use of LEDs. In 2018 the Planon family will be extended by a series called "Frameless" in which the entire base serves as the light-emitting surface. The new luminaires are available as simple on/off models, in versions with adjustable colour temperature and as flagship model with RGB colours and tunable white.
Under the name of "Transparent", Ledvance also offers another new series of Planon products with a particularly decorative concept. "The main light source here is enclosed by a semi-transparent shield. While the main light source is the same size in almost all the models, the shields have different shapes and sizes from model to model," says Marc Gerster, Head of Retail West Europe. In addition, these are illuminated by further light sources inside in different white tones or RGB colours. All the Planon models can be surface mounted, some can also be used as pendant luminaires.
The new LED Spot Kits are another highlight with their mounting depth of only three centimetres and which can be dimmed from any standard light: double-clicking the switch will start the luminaire dimming; double-clicking again will stop the process.

Under the description "Panan", LED luminaires by Ledvance are now also available for tables. In addition to a wide range of designs and colours, they also provide various technical configurations: thanks to the built-in rechargeable batteries, some models can provide off-grid light for several hours. Some can be switched on and off and dimmed via a touch sensor. Most models rest on a pedestal and some are available with a table clamp.
The "Panan Speaker" model has a built-in speaker that can be operated via Bluetooth or a jack plug. The "Panan Alu USB" will certainly be of interest to frequent phone users or table gamers because of its USB-A power socket at the back.
In terms of lighting for the outdoor sector, the provider is extending its Endura Style range. The focus here is on the models…
