The PREMIUM TALEXXdriver series has been designed to keep pace with rapid developments in LED technology and offers an extremely high degree of flexibility. It features the new digital “ready2mains” interface which uses the existing mains cable for data transfer. Different casing versions and output classes with application-optimised operating ranges make the LED Drivers ideal for a wide range of professional LED solutions. 

LED light sources open up new possibilities in lighting design. Not only are they highly durable, they are extremely energy efficient.  But switching to LED technology is an option not only when planning a new lighting system. With the new accessory set for TALEXXmodules LLE from Tridonic, existing linear luminaires equipped with T5 or T8 fluorescent lamps can be quickly and easily upgraded to state-of-the-art LED technology.

Tridonic unveils connecDIM, an easy-to-integrate light management system solution for industry and commerce. The system, comprising connecDIM Gateway and connecDIM Cloud, combines cost efficiency and user-friendly design with decentralised light monitoring and control options from anywhere in the world. Small applications with only a few DALI devices can benefit just as much as complex lighting systems in large properties.

Tridonic is concentrating its competence in pioneering LED and OLED light sources at its Jennersdorf site in Burgenland, Austria. Tridonic will be integrating successively its OLED activities, which up to now have been located in Dresden, Germany in the LED Competence Centre in Jennersdorf. 

Tridonic recently launched a new laser LED module. The new compact TALEXXengine STARK NEW DLE modules are 80 percent more efficient than their predecessors. A larger light emission surface also leads to a lower luminance and better glare reduction options for downlights. 

The TALEXXconverter TOP series rounds off Tridonic's new converter portfolio. In all the models in this series the current range can be adjusted in small steps between 350 milliamps (mA) and 1750 mA, depending on the wattage, to provide the perfect conditions for the particular application. Comfort and protection functions such as precise setting of the output current, temperature management and integrated temperature monitoring ensure reliable luminaire operation throughout its life.

From now on, Tridonic will be providing an energy index for all LED light sources. This means that Tridonic is already meeting the requirements of implementation measure 874/2012 which will come into force in September and which requires all luminaires and light sources to have appropriate energy labeling. From September 1, 2013 all light sources must carry an energy label, and from March 1, 2014 all luminaires.   In the case of luminaires, the energy label does not relate to the energy efficiency of the luminaire but to the efficiency of the lamps or LED modules tha...

Tridonic’s Dornbirn site obtained ISO 50001 certification in July. The international standard for energy management systems (EMS) has been audited in the site for the first time. This factory is therefore the first in the Zumtobel Group to be certified under this standard. ISO 50001 is firmly anchored in the sustainability objectives of all the brands in the Zumtobel Group. Tridonic’s objective is to increase energy efficiency in the company and to minimise energy costs, energy consumption and CO2 emissions. All energy usage is analysed, evaluated and the...

Alongside its ongoing activities in the area of LED, the Zumtobel Group is investing in the technology of the future, OLED. To this end, the lighting group yesterday signed an agreement to acquire all the shares from its partners in the joint venture LEDON OLED Lighting GmbH & Co KG. The Zumtobel Group set up this company jointly with the Fraunhofer research organisation and a number of Fraunhofer employees in 2009. The former joint venture LEDON OLED, which specialises in the development and manufacture of high-efficiency OLED lighting m...

Not long ago, Tridonic announced that it is preparing to introduce a new line of LED drivers, and it will end the magnetics business supporting legacy light sources at the end of 2013. As the pace of the transition to LED-based solid-state lighting (SSL) is hastening, many companies with a long lighting history are affected, Tridonic is no exception. To some extent, the decision that Tridonic refocuses on LED and intends to end its legacy business is in preparation of changes caused by the legislation to regulate low-efficiency magnetic products beginning in 2017 formula...

 Tridonic is launching a new portfolio of LED control gear in the form of the TEC series which covers all relevant customer requirements at an attractive price/performance ratio. The control gear is initially available in 20 W, 35 W and 65 W versions.  All three wattages can be supplied as built-in or surface-mount versions, all with the same product characteristics. In addition to ENEC and CE approval, they offer excellent EMC behaviour. The high-quality cable clamps on the surface-mount versions make installation quick and simple without the need for tools. The TEC series therefore combines impressive Tridonic quality with an attractive entry price.

At the beginning of the new year Tridonic landed a big breakthrough with OLED modules for professional lighting. Available in series, the new lighting module from the OLEDmodule LUREON REP product range for the first time achieves a luminous flux of more than 100 lumens, at dimensions of 99 x 99 mm². In addition, LUREON REP achieves a system efficiency of over 50 lm/W in neutral white, which is much higher than that achieved by comparable products on the market.

LED light engine: Ergonomics meets freedom of design, TALEXXengine STARK INDI for direct and indirect light Tridonic is launching TALEXXengine STARK INDI, an LED system that produces uniform light for both direct and indirect illumination. The light is directed downwards and upwards in a ratio of 80% to 20%, or vice versa. With its slim low-profile form the LED system gives designers enormous freedom and can be used as a replacement for T5 and TCL lamps. Its main applications include offices and educational establishments. TALEXXeng...

The Swedish company of Wennerström Ljuskontroll has for many years acted as Tridonic’s sales partner in Sweden, Finland and the Baltic States.

Tridonic is launching LED systems for a wide range of downlight and spotlight solutions. TALEXXengine STARK DLE and STARK SLE are each available in three versions and offer excellent colour rendering and colour stability. The SLE and DLE modules have a constant colour location across the entire temperature range so the colour temperature does not change as the ambient temperature changes. What’s more, the colour location remains constant throughout the entire life of the module. In developing the products, LED specialists at Tridonic based t...

Due to the trend in 2011, the new generation of LED light equipment requires better light quality control systems and higher energy efficiency. With the solidification of industry specifications and standards, what will unfold in the future of LED lighting? LEDinside conducted an interview with Roland W. Koch, Ph.D., industry expert and the Global Sales Manager of Tridonic. With abundant experience in the American, European, and Asian markets under his belt, he was able to shed some light on both the development of driver ICs and LED controllers and pressing issues regarding LED control system and LED light product criteria.
