Glamox has unveiled a luminaire for warehouses that consumes 20 per cent less electricity than its first-generation LED predecessor but also uses recycled materials in its construction and packaging.
The second-generation i10 G2 is a family of durable luminaires designed with sustainability and circular economy principles in mind, says Glamox.
It uses 26 per cent less material than the first generation and features 100 per cent post-recycled plastics in its end caps and 20 per cent recycled steel in its body.
It has a lighter, slimmer profile that doubles the number of pieces loadable onto a pallet, thereby halving CO₂ emissions during transportation. This lighter, slimmer profile also makes it easier to mount.
The i10 G2 is made from unpainted aluminium-zinc-coated steel and comes in different lumen packages (3,000 – 20,000 lumens with CRI 80/90) and types of optics. It is available with emergency lighting, various types of sensors, as well as DALI and wireless communication options. The luminaire is highly energy-efficient at 189 lm/W.
‘Making a luminaire that’s more energy efficient than its predecessor is not enough,’ Knut Rusten, chief sales and commercial officer for Glamox’s Professional Building Solutions division, told the Circular Lighting Report.
‘We examined the entire life cycle of the product, from raw materials to manufacturing and transportation, and from its usage phase through to its end of life and recycling.
‘Improvements at various stages have significantly reduced its carbon footprint. That’s something we’re proud of.
‘Sustainability is not a fluffy nice-to-have; it is core to our business strategy.’
The i10 G2 luminaire features a replaceable LED module and driver to prolong its life and is highly recyclable, resulting in a further 3.1 kg CO₂ reduction due to the recyclability of its materials.
Like most of Glamox’s products, the i10 G2 includes an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), an independently verified document that reports the product’s quantifiable environmental impacts throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life. It also uses recycled cardboard for its packaging.
Glamox plans to achieve net-zero operations by 2030, and last year the Science Based Targets Initiative approved our plans to be a net-zero company by 2045.
