Transforming the future of lighting
LEDVANCE EVERLOOP sustainable luminaires EVERLOOP from LEDVANCE is a new product series which features luminaires with conveniently replaceable LED light sources and drivers. Rather than disposing of luminaires in their entirety, the product lifecycle of EVERLOOP luminaires supports various individual changes of light sources and drivers, as well as software upgrades, thus maximising their lifespan and reducing waste. This makes EVERLOOP a sustainable and convenient choice for industrial and office applications, as well as public buildings. Benefits include extended lifetime, reduced waste and cost savings. An added advantage is that the same looks in architectural settings can be maintained as luminaires’ components can be replaced.

“EVERLOOP is our answer to the challenge of going from a linear to a circular product lifecycle for luminaires, contributing to the EU’s plan to reduce electronic waste,” says Stevie Young, Sales & Projects Manager, LEDVANCE in Ireland. “The key feature of EVERLOOP luminaires is that critical components, such as the light sources and drivers, are conveniently upgradeable or replaceable, with available spare parts. That makes the luminaire ever-lasting. In the future, we intend to integrate this feature into more and more of our luminaire series to save material and minimise waste.” EVERLOOP products are not only a sustainable choice but also a convenient one for installers. The first model available in the series is the LEDVANCE Linear IndiviLED Gen 2. It comes in direct and indirect versions with on/off or DALI options respectively. The IndiviLED range will be expanded in Spring 2024 with further types in the colour black, along with a range of accessories, to create a complete lighting system.
The IndiviLED models will soon be followed by additional EVERLOOP models throughout 2024, including LEDVANCE Panel IndiviLED Gen 2 and LEDVANCE Damp Proof G2 among others. The concept behind the LEDVANCE LOOP brand is a big step for the company and is expected to transform the future of the lighting industry: “We invested millions into research and development so that we can contribute to a more sustainable industry,” says Gareth Jackson, Chief Operating Officer at LEDVANCE. “In this era of transformation at LEDVANCE, sustainability is not a destination but a continuous journey. It is about a lot more than just being environmentally conscious, it is about reshaping our practices, reducing our carbon footprint, creating collaborative spaces, and promoting ethical business conduct.” The LEDVANCE LOOP is not limited to new products. As part of the initiative, LEDVANCE will relocate its headquarters and reduce the size of its office space in order to operate more efficiently, and to demonstrate the company’s total commitment to sustainability in everyday operations.
