Eco-designed emergency luminaires

We engineer our emergency lighting with simplified assembly and optimized component counts to make repair and reconditioning easier. Spare parts are available for all our models—including upgrade kits for older technologies—to preserve existing housings and pictograms. Our emergency lighting fixtures are designed to meet both current standards and future challenges.

Reconditioning

As a pioneer in reconditioning, we have been offering emergency lighting recovered from previous installations—such as cinemas and offices—since 2024. For example, over 400 units recovered from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games sites were reconditioned to equip two parking facilities. This work is carried out in our specialized workshop in Villeneuve-la-Garenne by our skilled technicians.

Repair

99% of our luminaires are repairable, with spare parts available for at least 10 years. Their design allows for quick and easy maintenance with minimal tools required.

Sustainable and responsible materials

We select durable materials such as steel, stainless steel, wood, and PMMA, engineered to last for several decades. Our plastics are 95% recycled and used judiciously to minimize our carbon footprint from the design stage. All our batteries are lithium-based and guarantee a minimum 10-year lifespan. Our electronic components are designed and assembled in our Bologna facility to the highest quality standards.

Packaging optimization

To minimize packaging-related carbon footprint, we have eliminated plastics—such as tape and bubble wrap—and individual packaging, replacing them with protective embossed paper. Incoming packaging is shredded and reused to avoid consuming new materials for our shipments. These choices significantly reduce both the weight and volume of our deliveries.
