Since September 2017, Smart+ has been the name for LEDVANCE’s entire new generation of smart lighting products for end users. These replace the products, which LEDVANCE had previously marketed under the name of Lightify. At Light + Building, the leading LED lighting company will showcase the latest members of its intelligent Smart+ product family. LEDVANCE will introduce both a greatly extended, dedicated ZigBee portfolio – using the Zigbee 3.0 wireless standard – and also innovations specifically for Apple HomeKit. Assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri allow easy control of the products via voice commands – and in the case of Apple and Amazon without the need for additional gateways.

The global number two in general lighting is presenting its new face at Light + Building in Frankfurt from March 18 to 23, 2018.In less than two years, LEDVANCE has transformed from a manufacturer predominantly of traditional lamps to an independent, dynamic and globally active lighting company with one of the most comprehensive LED portfolios for general lighting. Take LED luminaires, for example. What started less than two years ago with a basic portfolio has now blossomed into a wide-ranging assortment for lighting professionals and end users. In record time LEDVANCE has broken into the top ten luminaire providers in Europe and now has the leading positions in this global growth market firmly in its sights. The driving forces for this targeted growth are the continual expansion of the portfolio, unerring focus on user-friendliness, and high-quality product design. In addition to the many new products in the LED luminaire, LED lamp and smart home segments, LEDVANCE will be unveiling its newly developed “SCALE” luminaire design in public for the first time at Light + Building. For its partners in the retail and wholesale sectors this means that LEDVANCE is a one-stop shop for high-quality LED products in a modern design coupled with first-class customer service.

From March 18 to 23, more than 2,600 companies will be showcasing their latest products and services in Frankfurt at Light + Building, the world's largest trade fair for lighting and building systems. At its booth B10 in Hall 2.0, LEDVANCE, one of the world’s leading lighting providers, will focus on the latest generation of integrated LED luminaires for a broad spectrum of applications for both commercial and residential customers. It will also be featuring its greatly expanded portfolio of smart lighting solutions and modern LED lamps.

  One of the biggest government contracts for Ledvance in almost 100 years of being in the general lighting business. Deal is a collaboration project with MLS Co. Ltd, one of the new owners of Ledvance. Annual energy savings through the 25 million lamps are estimated to compare to the energy output produced by a medium-sized coal-fired power plant.   Ledvance has successfully delivered 25 million energy-efficient LED lamps to Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), the Indian government agency in charge of executing India’s UJALA (Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All) initiative. The deal, which Ledvance won in a public tender in March 2017, is one of the largest government contracts of all-time for the company. The on time conclusion of the project in December 2017 is the result of a close collaboration with MLS Co. Ltd, which is part of the investment consortium that acquired Ledvance from Osram GmbH back in March 2017.

  Tarn to accelerate company transformation toward becoming an industry-leading, innovation-driven full LED lighting company He brings vast management experience in the LED lighting industry to his new role   The Supervisory Board of LEDVANCE GmbH (LEDVANCE) has appointed Jacob C. Tarn, Ph.D., a well-known LED Lighting industry veteran, as the new Chairman of the Management Board and new CEO of LEDVANCE. Assuming his position on February 1, 2018, Dr. Tarn will focus on accelerating the company’s transformation from a traditional lamps manufacturer to an industry-leading, innovation-driven full LED lighting company. Dr. Tarn will manage the company out of its global headquarters in Garching, Germany.

Ledvance will be adding an attractive and varied portfolio of outdoor luminaires to its range of modern LED luminaires for professional users. These Ledvance branded products will be available via wholesale as of January 2018. The decorative luminaires are well-suited for hotel projects, chic office parks and especially the residential sector – in fact anywhere, where coherent design makes a difference.

The new LED luminaire members of the Damp Proof and High Bay families are ideally suited for production halls and warehouses. When designing the luminaires Ledvance focused on three key needs of professional users: simple installation, excellent efficiency and long nominal service live. The new luminaires will go on sale in electrical wholesale in December under the Ledvance brand name.

  LED solutions are replacing traditional lighting products at a much faster rate than expected Deep cuts in manufacturing and personnel needed Production in Germany will be concentrated in Eichstätt and Wipperfürth Focus on developing high-growth business segments   LEDVANCE GmbH (LEDVANCE), one of the world's leading general lighting providers for professional users and end consumers, is continuing its transformation and thereby intends to reduce its headcount. The location specific details of the headcount reduction will be developed in the coming months and will be closely coordinated with the employee representatives.

Ledvance is extending its portfolio for electrical wholesalers with the third wave of ready-to-use LED luminaires for professional users, including extremely flat versions for walls and ceilings.The Downlight Slim family, for example, is intended above all for narrow spaces such as suspended ceilings. It also offers particularly simple and flexible installation and excellent energy efficiency. That applies also to the narrow and especially robust Surface Compact IK10 luminaire for surface mounting which is ideal for heavily frequented stairwells and public buildings. The luminaires go on sale using the Ledvance brand.

The bathroom mirror is a classic place to use the new mirrored LED lamps from Ledvance thanks to the indirect light they produce. With their chic silver domes and eye-catching filaments, the Osram-branded lamps are also the right choice for use outside the bathroom. And they help save energy in the process.
