Three factors behind the success of continuous-row lighting systems
“TECTON has grown with the requirements placed on it”, says Klaus Vamberszky. The Vice President of Central Product Lifecycle Management & R&D at Zumtobel notes that the “continuous row” product category has also grown significantly over the last few years. Vamberszky sees three key reasons for this success:
- Strong growth in application areas: There is significant demand for continuous rows from the logistics sector and from data centres, retailers and supermarkets in particular.
- Increasing competition: The market is dynamic, and major customers in particular need continuous rows in order to be successful. This has motivated the sector to update and expand their portfolios.
- Sustainability as a mega-trend: With its integrated 11-terminal current-conducting section, the TECTON track offers a large number of interfaces for future applications. The flexibility to replace the luminaires while retaining the same track saves resources and reduces carbon emissions. “The infrastructure, i.e. the track, can remain in use for years or even decades”, says Klaus Vamberszky. “There is no other lighting solution that supports flexible changes, adaptation and new possibilities as well as a continuous-row lighting system.”
From manufacturing plants to offices and supermarkets
TECTON’s versatility comes into play in a wide range of industries. In retail, TECTON continuous-row lighting systems transform shopping into an experience: beacons in the lighting infrastructure transmit location and motion data, making applications such as indoor navigation or personalised offers possible. Shop managers benefit from information about customer movements, allowing them to optimise their store layout.
An increasing number of office buildings also rely on TECTON: in New Work environments or open-plan offices in particular, customers benefit from the excellent flexibility of this continuous-row lighting system. When the office changes, the lighting changes: power tapping along the entire length of the track means that luminaires can be easily removed and then reinstalled in any position. With the help of presence detectors, businesses can identify which desks are occupied – and thus use the available space as efficiently as possible.
10 exciting TECTON projects over more than 20 years
“In the past, we used to talk about trunking, whereas we now talk about a comprehensive infrastructure solution”, explains Bernd Walser, Head of R&D Indoor at Zumtobel. “This is a completely new, holistic approach.” The versatile ways in which TECTON can be used beyond its classic industrial applications are demonstrated by 10 selected projects, which span from office and education settings to art and culture, and from retail to healthcare.
