According to a Trendforce report published in March 2024, 5.8 billion LED luminaires globally (installed between 2014-16) will be coming to the end of their lifespan in 2024.
This is set to trigger a wave of secondary fitting replacements that will be driven by commercial buyers in sectors such as retail. manufacturing and commercial offices.
Whilst this was predictable even a decade ago, the global circumstances today certainly were not – with inflation and spiralling energy costs that have resulted in a profound “cost-of-doing-business crisis”.
The extent of the problem is such that over ¾ of UK business leaders believed their energy costs to be the biggest threat to their business (according to a survey by npower).
This context creates a particular dilemma for buyers of commercial lighting. Not only are many faced with the prospect of replacing LEDs at the end of their life. Now, their choice of LED lighting solution will have a significantly greater impact on their energy bills.
It’s at this critical moment that RA PRO has bet on OSRAM Professional General Lighting Luminaires, through an official partnership with Traxon EQ that will facilitate the re-entry of this trusted brand into the UK market.
The partnership, which has been built on the brands’ joint commitment to exceptional performance, sustainability and customer service, is responding directly to this pressing need for cost-saving, energy-efficient lighting in the commercial market.
To this end, the RA PRO + OSRAM Professional General Lighting Luminaire catalogue has launched with one of the most comprehensive professional LED lighting offers on the market, featuring over 50 luminaires ranging from downlights to battens, high-bays and arena-grade spotlights.
Making cost-saving LED lighting available to businesses of all sizes starts with embedding energy-efficiency into the luminaires they will need the most. This is why the standout products of the range include the LEDTouch Cylinder Downlight (a 90lm/W fitting which uses 50% less energy than traditional metal halide downlights) and the Simplitz LEDCOMFO Panel V3, a slimline panel with an effective 10-year lifespan (50,000 lumen hours).
Backed by extensive stock, responsive customer service, and with many products falling under RA PRO’s industry-leading warranty, the OSRAM + RA PRO partnership is launching to reassure those under urgent pressure to cut costs that they can purchase a reliable supply of high-performing luminaires that will reduce their bills in the short term, and futureproof their businesses in the long-term the transition to net zero.
The full suite of commercial LED luminaires, as well as information about the partnership, is available in the aforementioned catalogue, which can be accessed here
