WE-EF LEUCHTEN LUX URBIUM®

URBAN LIGHTING

2016

WE-EF is a global manufacturer of high-performance exterior luminaires renowned for

outstanding engineering design and innovative optical systems. Established in 1950 in

Germany, WE-EF is recognised worldwide as a leading exterior lighting specialist that

provides professional lighting solutions for various applications, ranging from urban

spaces to architectural projects.

As a pioneer and innovator of a wide range of application-specific modular LED lens

technologies, WE-EF develops optical systems that deliver photometric efficiency

together with high visual comfort.

WE-EF is dedicated to the philosophy of combining form and function, resulting in

striking and timeless product designs.

Precision in the design process, careful consideration of material selection and high-

quality manufacturing processes; ensures that WE-EF luminaires are considered to

be a benchmark of product performance, reliability and longevity; as well as ease of

installation.

Responsible resource management is practiced across all areas of operation, from

product life-cycle assessments to sustainable business procedures.

Design and Engineering

The most important element in the design process is the development of luminaires

that encompass timeless design; in other words, design that best reflects their enduring

qualities.

In addition, state-of-the-art engineering brings with it the highest standards with regard

to environmentally-friendly materials and processes, i.e., high IP ratings, excellent ther-

mal management and innovative optical systems. The development of high-end, efficient

reflectors and lenses is one of the core competencies of WE-EF. This means compliance

with international lighting and safety norms, while meeting the criteria of such organi-

sations as the Dark Sky Society. Continual investment in research and development is

the basic condition for meeting these requirements. WE-EF innovations, such as IOS®

Innovative Optical Systems, CTA® Cool Touch Adaptor, ASC Anti Slip Coating and OLC®

One LED Concept, are just some examples of the company’s continuing investment in

technology.

Production

'Made by WE-EF' is more than just an expression. Through continual investment in

tooling, production processes and the ongoing education of our employees, we are able

to achieve the highest standards of quality. In exterior lighting, the corrosion resistance

qualities of a product are important for their reliability and longevity. A durable and

reliable corrosion protection can only be achieved when Product Development and the

Production Processes are considered together. Years of research, development and

practical testing and experience in some of the harshest climates on earth has resulted

in WE-EF’s unique 5CE corrosion protection system. It encompasses five critical

elements; Material, Conversion Coating, Powder Coating, PCS Polymer Coated Stainless

Hardware and Process Control. Only complete systems such as 5CE can provide

reliability and longevity in exterior environments.

Application

Real and sustainable cost and energy savings can only be achieved through professional

project planning, including the application of the latest optical systems and light sources.

In streetlighting applications, for example, this means minimising the number of

luminaires required by optimising the efficiency of the optical system, while at the same

time limiting glare in line with international standards. In short, reduced installation and

maintenance costs, less CO2 and improved quality of light.

Recycling

More than 90 per cent of a WE-EF luminaire can be recycled. The main component,

a marine-grade aluminium substrate, is refined from recycled aluminium. This recycled

aluminium is also an 'energy storer'. Only 5 per cent of the original energy needed to

process bauxite into aluminium is required for recycling. In other words, 95 per cent of

the original energy input is also recycled.

Light for Seeing

A wide selection of recessed and surface mounted wall luminaires in

numerous shapes and sizes, guarantees customized solutions. WE-EF

luminaires are suitable for private residencies as well as building

facades and shopping centres.

Light for Public Spaces

WE-EF Inground luminaires feature a sturdy watertight stainless steel

housing. They are designed to withstand pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

Versatile engineering, in addition to a host of accessories solves even

the most ambitious lighting projects. An elegant and discreet solution

for the unobtrusive illumination of landscapes, buildings, architectural

features and sculptures.

Light for Long Nights

Subtle and discreet, perfect for enjoying transitional spaces. WE-EF

downlights can extend a spaces use and enjoyment, highlighting walls

or features, or simply illuminating the area below.

Light for People

Low level luminaires are designed to provide orientation and guidance.

WE-EF bollards made of corrosion resistant die-cast aluminium and

LED lenses, direct light down and away from the viewer.

Light for Promenades

Light can reinterpret the architectural landscape. It can alter how we

see and experience our surroundings. WE-EF light columns are chosen

to illuminate public spaces and promenades.

Light for Summer Nights

Create emotive scenes and enjoy the moment. WE-EF post top luminaires

can provide sensitive, distinctive responses to special locations. The LED

luminaire accentuates without glare, allowing for light to be choreographed

in an unobtrusive manner.

Light for City Nights

Effective street and area lighting plays an important role in safety.

WE-EF's street and area lighting technology IOS® ensures that all DIN

or other relevant standards are met whilst remaining as economically

and ecologically friendly as possible.

Light for Performances

Illuminating a facade requires extensive creative and technical expertise.

In order to produce a dramatic effect, precise control of the light is a

pre-requisite. WE-EF engineers can help develop lighting design solutions

to suit a project’s unique challenges.
