Lighting in Design

33 / 40

BEKA Schréder has launched the Zela post top lumi-
naire. Designed and manufactured in South Africa,
it offers a cost-effective, contemporary design that
uses state-of-the-art LED technology.
The Zela is characterised by its distinct flat, coni-
cal diffuser, with carefully designed cooling fins that
add elegance by continuing the flow of the line of
the pole.
The versatile luminaire is suitable for Group B
road lighting, general area lighting, parks and gar-
dens, and security lighting. It is designed to replace
HID post top luminaires (up to 100W HPS) with an
energy saving of up to 70%.
The luminaire emits a pleasant, glare-free light
owing to the indirect lighting and the highly efficient
white reflector (symmetrical light distribution). It is
also available in an asymmetrical version for effec-
tive street lighting applications, or where lighting
control and low glare are important. The correlated
colour temperature (CCT) of the LEDs is neutral
white (3000 K or 4000 K). The Zela is designed for
LED light sources between 19 W and 55 W at an
ambient temperature of up to 35 ºC.
The complete luminaire is sealed to IP 66 for long
lasting performance. A daylight switch is available
as an option.

Osram’s Lightify system brings smartphone-con-
trolled lamps and luminaires into homes and offices.
The system is suitable for end users and profession-
als and for indoor and outdoor applications. It can
be connected to products from other manufacturers
thanks to open interfaces. “Lightify lets consumers
exploit the wide-ranging possibilities of light – com-
bining safety, well-being and fun,” saysTimon Rupp,
who is responsible for Lightify at Osram.
The starter package enables customers to begin
with a system that consists of a single lamp and
a gateway. The gateway serves as the control unit
for all connected Lightify devices and, in contrast
to other products available on the market, merely
requires a WLAN connection but no cabling to the
internet. The light itself is controlled via an app for
smartphones, downloaded free of charge from
various app stores. Millions of possible colours are
available and several light sources can be combined
and commonly controlled.
In addition to the Lightify version for private
users, a Pro version is available for professionals,
with the gateway enabling 100 light sources to be
integrated into the system. A push-button coupler
allows existing light switches in buildings to be used
– simply remove the switch, install the push-button
coupler and attach the switch again.
Connection to the DALI standard is especially
interesting for professional users. This standard,
common in Europe, can be complicated to set up
and, until now, has not been controllable by end
users via smartphones. Lightify Pro changes this.
An app is available for the installer and another for
the user, enabling DALI networks to be intuitively
set up and operated.
Lightify supports the ZigBee standard and all
products in the portfolio are ZigBee Light Link
certified, meaning that products can be combined
with products from other manufacturers, to make
them future proof and comprehensively connect-
able. A partnership has been established with
the Qivicon system from Deutsche Telekom.
