Schneider Electric and
Tridonic recently announced a strategic partnership. The corporate partnership represents collaboration around projects business, and will see the companies work together to promote energy efficient lighting control solutions to customers.
Schneider Electric operates in more than 100 countries and, through its diverse product and business portfolio, specialises in the design and implementation of lighting control systems. Tridonic, headquartered in Austria and part of the Zumtobel Group, enables customers around the world to develop innovative applications and solutions, through lighting components, lighting management systems, connection technology and LED solutions. Within the partnership there is a project with LEDON, a sister company of Tridonic, which develops and markets hi-tech LED retrofit lamps for private consumers.
The strategic partnership between the businesses will combine the product innovation and market pedigree from the companies to develop cutting-edge, energy efficient lighting control solutions for customers globally. The solutions will meet the needs of diverse market sectors, including airports, hospitals, infrastructure and high performance green buildings. Schneider Electric benefits from Tridonic’s deep know-how in electronic control gears as well as from the innovative Tridonic products. Tridonic benefits from Schneider Electric’s excellent customer relations in the project business where Tridonic takes the role as first choice partner for lighting management. In all cases customers will stand to benefit by receiving lighting systems with synchronised components from one hand and enjoying service and safe systems.

At
Light+Building 2012,
Tridonic will be showcasing LED modules together with a range of other components and comprehensive LED system solutions, including optics, converters and lighting controllers. The focus will be on LED products and systems for general illumination applications.
Tridonic has launched two new LED systems that offer exceptional efficiency and excellent white light quality, namely TALEXXengine Stark QLE and LLE. These square (QLE) and linear (LLE) versions can be used separately or in combination. The LED systems provide luminaire designers with completely new creative possibilities but they can also be used as alternatives to T5, T8 and TCL fluorescent lamps – instantly achieving greater system efficiency. Both versions have a luminous efficacy of up to 100 lm/W.
At Light+Building you can see these modules with integrated emergency lighting functionality. In this respect, Tridonic can rely on its know-how as a market leader in emergency lighting systems.
The TALEXXengine STARK DLE TWIST is the first LED light engine in the Tridonic portfolio with an integrated converter and a holder for luminaire installation mounted on the heat sink. Like conventional light sources, this compact high-efficiency LED unit can be installed without any tools and can just as easily be dismantled.
At the heart of every LED lighting solution are the TALEXXconverters, developed and manufactured by Tridonic with all the expertise that made the company famous for its ballasts. High efficiency and low power losses are the main features. The extensive product range includes devices for indoor and outdoor applications (type of protection IP67), luminaire installation and separate mounting.
For demanding applications such as linear and square luminaires there are devices with an output of 80 W. The dimmable TALEXXconverter LCAI 80W one4all version, which is available with a constant current of 350 or 700 mA, has the versatile one4all interface. This means that LED products can be controlled via DALI, DSI or switchDIM signals and the corridorFUNCTION to minimize energy consumption. The non-dimmable TALEXXconverter LCI 80W with a constant current of 350 mA is just as impressive. Both versions for luminaire installation are housed in a space-saving low-profile enclosure measuring only 21 x 30 mm. They are suitable for emergency lighting applications in accordance with EN 50172.
The compact TALEXXconverter LCCI 16W and TALEXXconverter LCAI 16W one4all build-in units are used in downlights and spotlights. The versions with constant currents of 350, 500 and 700 mA cover all standard applications.
More and more streets, parks, paths, public squares and façades are being illuminated with LEDs. Tridonic has equipped the new TALEXXconverters LCAI 2×38 W and 2×50 W one4all with all the properties needed to provide efficient LED light in outdoor applications. They have integrated overtemperature and overload protection and automatically disconnect in the event of a short-circuit. Restarts are then also automatic. The brightness level can be controlled centrally or automatically via the chronoSTEP function.
