The new CUBESIGN II LED safety luminaire by Zumtobel, an Austrian lighting company specialising in professional indoor and outdoor lighting, has been designed with the aim to mark escape routes with maximum visibility in different surroundings. The rectangular luminaire has an aspect ratio of 1:2 and can display a range of pictograms.
Whether in supermarkets, large DIY retailers, production halls, or airports, CUBESIGN II seeks to ensure emergency exits are easy to find for increased safety in public spaces. It is available in two sizes with different recognition distances: 30 metres for medium-sized rooms and 60 metres for larger halls. Protection class IP54 should mean that CUBESIGN II is protected against the ingress of dust and splashes of water, such as for use in harsh industrial environments. It has an extended temperature range of up to 55°C, which should also mean it can withstand higher ambient temperatures, such as those found in large data centres.
Depending on individual room requirements, users can choose between installation directly in the ceiling, a chain attachment with four eyelets, a wall bracket in white sheet steel, and three different pre-wired pendant variants in lengths of 30, 50, or 100cm. The LED safety luminaires can also be integrated into existing TECTON and TECTON II track systems.
In terms of power supply, CUBESIGN II users can choose between connection-free variants with an integrated battery (E1D, E3D, E1BC, E3BC) and variants for connection to an external power source (ECD, ECP, ECC or ELP). The company claims that the connection-free versions of the safety luminaires have a long service life due to lithium iron phosphate batteries, and that the higher energy density of this battery type means the battery packs themselves are more compact, which in turn reduces power consumption and weight and extends the permissible temperature range.
The self-contained versions can be connected to the Bluetooth Casambi wireless lighting control system, while the ELP version with a central battery can be connected to Zumtobel’s nBox group battery system.
