                 The   Retrova moisture-proof luminaire series   has undergone a continuous evolution. Already at its launch in 2017, the first Retrova generation was considered a revolutionary product: equipped with 125 lm/W and a Power Select driver that allowed flexible adjustment of the output power from 40–54 W. Another key feature was the particularly simple and intuitive installation of this batten luminaire. Since then, the series has received numerous upgrades and continuous improvements. 
 With the introduction of  Retrova Select &amp;nbsp;in 2020, additional color temperature options became available: 4000 K, 5000 K or 6000 K. At the same time, efficiency increased to 135–140 lumens per watt. The selectable power range was expanded to 35–60 W, complemented by a 5-pole terminal block for even greater installation convenience. 
 With the launch of   Retrova Extreme  , we are further strengthening our market position. With an efficiency of up to 185 lumens per watt, this generation ranks among the top performers in the moisture-proof luminaire segment. The adjustment range of the mounting clips has been further extended, allowing existing drill holes to continue to be used. A 5-core through-wiring system is now included as standard, significantly simplifying loop-through wiring of the power supply. High-quality branded drivers ensure long service life, while ENEC certification guarantees the highest safety standards for this luminaire series.

 Some people think they&#039;ve seen a UFO in the sky at night. Our new   ORI surface-mounted light   comes pretty close to the classic image of a flying saucer. 
 Okay, it‘s not suitable for flying, but it‘s brilliantly bright. The  dome-shaped diffuser  emits light evenly. The cover can be opened without tools; underneath is a compact LED module, a terminal block that can also be used for through-wiring, and an electronic ballast, also known as an LED driver. Using two integrated switches, the user can choose their favorite light color from warm white to daylight (3000, 4000, 5000 Kelvin) and adjust the output power  to their needs  in three output levels. 
 For clever savers, we recommend the version with an  integrated microwave radar sensor , which allows the operating time to be set between one and ten minutes. In daylight conditions below 25 lux, the light automatically switches to sensor mode. 
 The ORI is  ideal for use  in stairwells, hallways, storage rooms, bathrooms, sales areas, changing rooms, garages, restrooms, or basements. Due to IP64 rating, the light can also be used outdoors. For example, at the entrance door or at the patio. 
 The best part is, it‘s only because of the  ridiculously low price  that E.T. even landed on our planet. 
 &amp;nbsp;

 flexible, compact, stylish, universal, adaptive, unique.... 
 The new Lunara Smart LED floodlights adapt to your needs at the touch of a button. 
 Using the supplied remote control, you can  adjust the light colour from 2400 Kelvin  (historic warm white)  over 3000 Kelvin  (warm white)  to 4000 Kelvin  (neutral white)  at any time and vary the light output in 3 steps : 50%, 75%, 100%. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
       
 &amp;nbsp; 
    
 A 50-watt floodlight therefore has a power consumption of between 25-50 watts and the 100 watt version from 50-100 watts.  These 2 models therefore adapt perfectly to your requirements and the area to be illuminated.  The housing is made of attractive, robust aluminium. In addition to a pressure compensation valve, the floodlight has a sensor interface. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
   
  An inexpensive Plug’n’Play sensor can be installed at any time.  The infrared sensor has a compact design and can be adjusted in terms of alignment and detection range. The maximum detection range within a radius of 120° is 8 metres. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  A special feature is the residual light function!  Using the remote control, the sensor can not only be switched on and off, but a distinction can also be made between  three operating modes . 
  Mode 1:  100% light when motion is detected and permanently off at the end of the adjustable hold time (10 seconds to 15 minutes) until the next detection 
  Mode 2:  100% light when motion is detected and 10% permanent residual light (orientation light) at the end of the hold time until dusk 
  Mode 3:  as Mode 2 but with 20% permanent residual light (orientation light) 
  Permanent ambient lighting deters thieves and supports your surveillance cameras in the dark and ensures improved video recordings.  
     
 &amp;nbsp; 
  2400 Kelvin is a very insect-friendly light colour  and ideal for illuminating historic buildings and brick façades. 3000 Kelvin works well in rural areas and has a cosy effect. 4000 Kelvin is the perfect light colour for modern buildings with bright facades.&amp;nbsp; 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Unrivalled application possibilities at the touch of a button 
 Using an example, we would like to briefly explain the possibilities offered by the innovative concept of Lunara Smart floodlights. Your floodlights usually run on the light colour 4000 Kelvin and serve as a deterrent for thieves with a residual brightness of 10% during the night. The motion sensor is activated and switches to full brightness when a person approaches the house. At the weekend you are having a garden party with friends, and you prefer a cosy atmosphere. You take the infrared remote control and change your set-up from the comfortable from the floor in just a few steps. Step 1: Deactivate the motion sensor and switch the light on permanently. Lower the light level to 50% and select a light colour of 2400 Kelvin, for example. Done.&amp;nbsp;Nach der Party einfach wieder die regulären Einstellungen aktivieren. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  All these features make the Lunara Smart series a highlight of the Litegear® Round &amp;amp; Square series.&amp;nbsp;

 flexible, compact, élégant, universel, adaptable, unique.... 
 Les nouveaux projecteurs LED Lunara Smart s&#039;adaptent à vos besoins sur simple pression d&#039;un bouton. 
 Grâce à la  télécommande fournie , vous pouvez à tout moment effectuer  réglage la couleur de la lumière  de 2400 kelvins (blanc chaud-Architectural) à 4000 kelvins (blanc neutre) en passant par 3000 kelvins (blanc chaud). Cette commande permet  variation de puissance  lumineuse en 3 étapes : 50%, 75%, 100%. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
       
 &amp;nbsp; 
    
 Un projecteur de 50 watts a donc une consommation comprise entre 25 et 50 watts et la version de 100 watts entre 50 et 100 watts. &amp;nbsp; Ces 2 modèles s&#039;adaptent donc parfaitement à vos besoins et à la zone à éclairer. Le boîtier est en aluminium robuste et esthétique. En plus d&#039;une soupape de compensation de pression, le projecteur est équipé d&#039;une  entrée pour accessoire de détection . 
 &amp;nbsp; 
   
 Un capteur  Plug&#039;n&#039;Play  peu coûteux peut être installé à tout moment. Le capteur infrarouge est compact et peut être réglé en termes d&#039;orientation et de portée de détection. La portée de détection maximale dans un rayon de 120° est de 8 mètres.    
 La fonction de  Scénario  est une caractéristique particulière ! La télécommande permet non seulement d&#039;allumer et d&#039;éteindre le détecteur, mais aussi de distinguer trois modes de fonctionnement.    
  Mode 1: &amp;nbsp;100 % de lumière lors de la détection d&#039;un mouvement et extinction permanente à la fin du temps de maintien réglable (10 secondes à 15 minutes) jusqu&#039;à la détection suivante 
  Mode 2: &amp;nbsp;100 % de lumière en cas de détection de mouvement et 10 % de lumière résiduelle permanente (lumière d&#039;orientation) à la fin du temps de maintien jusqu&#039;à la tombée de la nuit. 
  Mode 3: &amp;nbsp;comme le mode 2 mais avec 20% de lumière résiduelle permanente (lumière d&#039;orientation) 
  L&#039;éclairage ambiant permanent dissuade les voleurs et soutient vos caméras de surveillance dans l&#039;obscurité, tout en garantissant de meilleurs enregistrements vidéo.  
     
 &amp;nbsp; 
  2400 Kelvin est une couleur de lumière très peu attractive pour les insectes et idéale pour éclairer les bâtiments historiques et les façades en briques. 
 3000 Kelvin convient bien aux zones rurales et a un effet chaleureux. 
 4000 Kelvin est la couleur de lumière parfaite pour les bâtiments modernes aux façades lumineuses. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Unrivalled application possibilities at the touch of a button 
 Par l&#039;exemple ci-après, nous souhaitons expliquer brièvement les possibilités offertes par le concept innovant des projecteurs Lunara Smart. Vos projecteurs fonctionnent habituellement avec une couleur de lumière de 4000 Kelvin et servent à dissuader les Voleurs/Rodeurs avec une luminosité résiduelle de 10 % pendant la nuit. Le capteur de mouvement est activé et passe en pleine luminosité lorsqu&#039;une personne s&#039;approche de la maison. Le week-end, vous organisez une garden-party avec des amis et vous préférez une ambiance chaleureuse. Grâce à la télécommande infrarouge et vous passez du mode automatique à un allumage permanent en quelques étapes. 
 Étape 1 : Désactivez le capteur de mouvement et allumez la lumière en permanence. Etape 2 : Baissez le niveau d&#039;éclairage à 50 % et sélectionnez une couleur de lumière de 2 400 kelvins, par exemple. C&#039;est fait. 
 Après la fête, les réglages réguliers peuvent être réactivés. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  Toutes ces caractéristiques font de la série Lunara Smart un point fort de la série Litegear® Round &amp;amp; Square.&amp;nbsp;

                <![CDATA[
                 Due to the EU ban on continuing to produce gas discharge lamps, numerous commercial users are facing new challenges. 
 The direct contact is often the electrician you trust or the electrical wholesaler, unfortunately they are often overwhelmed with the question &quot;what does my customer need and what should I recommend to him?&quot; Which regulations are there for his application or for the requirements of suitable industrial lighting? Which light color does my customer need? Should I use a LED retrofit lamp, am I liable if I convert the old luminaire? Which beam angle is the right one? Does it need daylight dimming or presence detection to save even more electricity? Should we install a Dali network or should we use 0-10V dimming sensors or, better yet, radio control.  Questions over questions....   The Litegear team has set itself the task of creating an uncomplicated basis for this.   The answer is  JUPITA &quot;OneFitAll&quot; indoor spotlights !   The slogan &quot;OneFitAll&quot; has almost become synonymous with universal, flexible lighting solutions from Litegear. LED lighting solutions developed in Germany  
 Jupita is unique 
  A LED Highbay that meets all the requirements of an efficient, modern commercial LED light!  
   
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Users can choose between three switchable light colors: 
 
  3000 Kelvin  for exhibition halls, sports studios, furniture stores or sales areas 
  4000 Kelvin  for warehouses, production, loading zones, self-service areas, supermarkets, petrol stations, car dealerships 
  5700 Kelvin  Daylight for industry, steel construction, warehouses, logistics, workshops, production without a high proportion of direct daylight 
 
 Adjustable output power: 
 
  100W  - Replacement for indoor spotlights with 250W HQI or HQL lamps 
  150W  - Replacement for indoor spotlights with 400W HQI or HQL lamps 
  200W  - Replacement for indoor spotlights with 700/1000W HQL lamps 
 
   
 Selectable beam angle using Fresnel multi-lens: 
 From spot to area illumination: By turning the lens, a suitable beam angle of 60°, 90° or 105° can be selected. For example, I achieve more brightness on a workbench through concentrated light beams without increasing the output.  Protection class IP65 protects against the ingress of dust and moisture!  Limited surface temperature and therefore suitable for environments with highly flammable dusts, &quot;D&quot; mark.  Enormous light output thanks to high system efficiency up to 155 lumens/watt, max. 31000 lumens luminous flux.  Controllable using 1-10V dimming and optional individual sensors, which can be easily added to the Jupita. The 12V supply voltage is generated by the LED driver, an additional power supply unit is not required. Optionally, we offer suitable weatherproof Dali converters that are connected to the 1-10V interface. The industrial spotlights can be automatically adjusted to the daylight conditions by means of dimming, thus reducing power consumption by a further 15 to 30%. This enables a faster ROI and higher overall cost and power savings. Motion detection only turns the light up when there are people or vehicles in the defined area, otherwise the lighting level is permanently reduced to 10-20% or switched off using the corridor function. With such a versatile LED light, you would probably expect a higher price - on the contrary, you will be pleasantly surprised at the low purchase price.  Litegear is known for reliable, multifunctional and affordable LED solutions.  
 Extensive accessories: 
 
 mounting bracket 
 transparent acrylic reflector 
 Microwave sensor and matching remote control 
 Dali adapter 
 External Dali sensors and app controls 
 
    
 &amp;nbsp; 
  Advantages for dealers and electricians:    They only stock one Highbay light that always fits. High availability with low capital commitment = fast movers   
   Jupita  is not just a luminaire - It is a concept that sets a new standard!

                                            Next year, new EU regulations will come into force that ban the production of fluorescent lamps. Plan your switch to future-proof LED solutions now.
                                        ]]>
            </summary>
            <content type="html">
                <![CDATA[
                 By amending the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, the EU Commission has stipulated that fluorescent lamps containing mercury may no longer be produced from August 25, 2023 at the latest. This also affects the T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes that are still widely used. 
     
 The luminaires already produced may still be used and sold, which means that they will probably be available on the market for another 1-2 years. Nevertheless, negative consequences for the use of these luminaires can already be expected in the short term: 
 
 The prices for the lamps will presumably increase steadily 
 Spare parts such as magnetic ballasts and electronic ballasts will be discontinued and will no longer be produced in the future. 
 Fluorescent material will inevitably disappear from the market 
 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  That&#039;s why you should already plan the switch to sustainable LED lighting now!  
 1st alternative: LED retrofit solutions 
 The fastest and easiest solution is certainly the 1-to-1 replacement of existing lighting with LED lamps. 
   
 For example, you can replace a 58W T8 fluorescent tube with a high-quality LED tube with 20 to 30W. In addition to the favorable price, currently available LED tubes offer electricity savings of 55 to 75% compared to conventional lamps and a much longer service life of up to 70,000 hours. Moreover, if the luminaire is operated with a magnetic ballast, the replacement is very easy to carry out. Only the lamp and the starter need to be replaced. 
 For luminaires with electronic ballasts (ECGs), there are special LED tubes that are compatible with the pulsed voltage supply of the ECGs, but this solution involves a financial risk for the user. Since the luminaires are often more than 8 years old and the service life of the electrical ballasts is limited to 30,000 to 50,000 operating hours, the EBs may experience frequent failures in the short term after conversion to LED tubes. Since these special LED tubes can only be operated with a pulsed power supply, you will inevitably have to gradually replace all the ballasts. This is often associated with high costs and a great deal of effort. Furthermore, such LED tubes often have incompatibility with some EBs and are also significantly more inefficient than standard LED tubes for conventional ballasts. 
 Alternatively, one can opt for a conversion solution. In this case, an existing luminaire is converted for use with conventional LED tubes for magnetic ballasts by a specialist company, for example a master electrician, by means of rewiring. The installer of this &quot;new luminaire&quot; thereby becomes the manufacturer and must submit a new CE declaration and mark the luminaire accordingly as an installer. Many electricians shy away from this effort for liability reasons and lack of expertise, making it difficult to find a reputable supplier. 
 In addition, you must ensure that the same illuminance is achieved with the new LED lamp in order to comply with the workplace directive. Otherwise, the manager will be liable in case of accidents. Inferior LED tubes often have only a low light output. Such a LED tube of 1.5m length and a luminous flux of 2400 lumen can never replace a T8 fluorescent tube of the same length with 58W input power and a luminous flux of 5200 lumen!&amp;nbsp; 
 2nd alternative: light renovation 
 A more sustainable alternative is to completely refurbish the lighting with specially adapted lighting solutions. Depending on the application, various LED luminaire types such as panels, diffuser luminaires or linear light systems may be considered here. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
       
 &amp;nbsp; 
 The advantages of this alternative are obvious: 
 
 long-lasting sophisticated technology 
 often dimmable 
 additional savings potential due to sensor technology 
 directional beam pattern possible; consequently better illumination for the type of application 
 
 Although the initial expense for the conversion is higher, there is a higher savings potential in the long run. LED luminaires often have a service life of up to 100,000 operating hours, and in addition to the 60-70% savings from switching to LED technology, sensor technology and dimming can save another 10-20% in electricity costs. 
 If particularly efficient LED luminaires with luminous efficacies exceeding 120 lumens per watt (140 lm/W for continuous row systems) are used, a BAFA grant is also available in Germany under the &quot;Federal Promotion for Efficient Buildings&quot; in the amount of 15% of the investment. This subsidy is not available for retrofit solutions. 
  We will be happy to advise you on the various options and suitable products from our range.  We look forward to hearing from you.

                  Art ea: one platform, numerous variants - one clever system 
 The  Art ea family of lights is based on  a modular platform  with numerous expansion options. 
  Art ea offers  real added value in terms of innovations and clever solutions . We offer this surface-mounted luminaire in  5 different versions . Regardless of whether as a light with a  built-in motion sensor, with a battery emergency light function  or as a standard light, they can all be controlled with a  master/slave function  and without a complex control signal. 
      Each system luminaire has a modular,  service-friendly structure . The light  color can be switched between 3000 Kelvin (warm white) and 4000 Kelvin (neutral white)  using an internal switch. The output power can also be adapted to your needs via  power select  DIP switches  10W, 15W and 23W  (1100 to 2300 lumens). The housing is made of impact-resistant plastic with the highest protection class  IK10  and is protected against ingress of dust and splash water in accordance with protection class  IP44 .  Art ea can therefore not only be used inside buildings in corridors, entrance hall, sanitary facilities and stairwells, but also outdoors. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
       
 The lights interact with each other via an additional switching line. For example,  sensor lights  can switch on additional passive lights when motion is detected. If the ambient light level is sufficient, the lighting group remains off when entering the room. In the dark, you can choose an  orientation light  function that provides a basic level of brightness all night and switches to full brightness when motion is detected.  This creates security  and at the same time  reduces operating costs to a minimum . Equipped with an additional  self-contained emergency light function , the  Art ea lights reliably show the way out of a building in the event of a power failure or a malfunction in the public power grid. Equipped with an  automatic self-test , the surface-mounted lights always show their battery status and functionality. The LED lights  automatically perform a function test  every month and  a long-term test once a year . The battery maintenance with a luminous flux of a maximum of  260 lumens is sufficient for 3 hours  and with a  special version  (LG31242 E8) for accommodation facilities even for  8 hours . Due to the service-friendly structure, the  long-life LiFePo4 batteries  can be changed quickly and easily during maintenance. The luminaires can be easily  wired in series  using up to 6 different cable entries; all that is required is a 3 to 5-core cable.  Art ea impresses not only with its  good efficiency   and technical values , but also with its timeless,  elegant design  which is optimally integrated into the environment. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  Applications:  
 As a wall or ceiling luminaire with a homogeneous, wide beam angle for stairwells, hallways, sanitary areas, storage rooms, ancillary rooms, basements, on protected facades and canopies in the outdoor area

                <![CDATA[
                  Alwetra  is the first weatherproof LED linear light system from Litegear®. The system has a fully modular structure and consists of luminaire modules, blind modules, sensor modules and battery-based emergency light modules. The individual modules can be connected to each other electrically and mechanically by &quot;plug and play&quot; solution. In addition, a metal clip is attached to ensure a secure and stable junction. Thanks to the simple installation, a complex linear lighting system can be set up in a short time. 
     
 &amp;nbsp; 
     
 The through-wiring is done via 7-wire connectors with 5 x 2.5mm² and 2 x 1.5mm² cabling for dimming via an analog 0-10V signal. A protected phase selector switch is located in the luminaire module, which can be used to select the pickup of one of the three current phases present. 
 The output power of the electronic ballast can be adjusted from 30 Watts to 47 Watts using small DIP switches under a protective cover. In this way users can adapt the light output to their personal demands even without using the dimming function.&amp;nbsp; 
     
 Alwetra is classified according to the IP65 standard and thus completely protected against the ingress of dust and water jets. It also withstands massive impacts up to 20 joules according to the IK10 standard.&amp;nbsp; 
  Applications:  
 Parking garage, cold storage, warehouse, carpentry, production, waste sorting, food production, under canopies, loading zones, green house and plant area in hardware stores. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 Each LED module can be dimmed via the integrated 0-10V interface. For example, via daylight sensors that monitor a desired light level and adjust the light level of the luminaires according to changing daylight conditions. This saves valuable energy and CO 2  on bright days. 
 Alwetra can also be switched on and off and dimmed using sensors. For example, shelf lighting with the desired permanent brightness of 10-30% can easily be realized. Alwetra is the perfect solution for cold stores or small parts warehouses. 
 Optionally, the Alwetra series can be expanded to include suitable single-battery lights that automatically provide escape route lighting for 3 hours in the event of a power failure. In this application way the L1 phase serves as a monitoring and charging current line for the battery modules. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
     
 The sensor modules and emergency light modules have a length of 50cm. In combination with 100cm blank modules, they result again in a system length of 150cm like the general modules. 
 We generally offer this lighting system in the light color 4000 Kelvin (neutral white). Optionally, we can also produce LED modules in alternative light colors such as warm white or daylight on a project basis. The luminaires are available from stock with a beam angle of 120° as a wide flood variant or with reflectors with a beam angle of 90°. On request, we also offer other beam angles for larger installation heights in 45° or 60° as well as more powerful versions up to 75W and a luminous flux up to 10500 lumens.

                 The new address for good steaks in Aachen. 
 In the autumn of 2017, a new tip for meat connoisseurs opened in the Schillerstraße near the Hangeweiher. Fine dining is served in an exclusive setting. Not only different meat variations, also selected wines are served to the guests. 
 The interior design is master craftsmanship. You can find wood crafts, blacksmithing and lighting design that harmoniously combine exclusivity and coziness. Art smith Hans Lothmann (he designed the artful figure of the &quot;Ösch Mösch&quot;) has made a bronze figure with two bulls, which are presented as a symbol of the restaurant.(Source: AN) The tables are built from old railway tracks, which were worked up in the style of upcycling to high quality furniture. 
 The whole thing is set in scene by a sophisticated light design by Litegear®: a mixture of small spots that set accents on the table tops, illuminated wine fridges and highlights, exactly where they are needed without distracting the guest from the food. The entire lighting can be dimmed via a Live Link Dali system to create the right lighting for any occasion. 
 We are convinced that the TWENTYFIVE has a golden future. 
 More pictures and links to the used products can be found  in our applications section .

                 After redesigning some parts of the car dealer at the Professor-Oehler-Straße in Düsseldorf-Benrath, the exhibition area for jeep and the vehicle delivery area now received a new lighting. The target of the conversion was to use a more efficient energy supply with a uniform illumination. 
 Power-consuming HQI spotlights have been replaced by a current rail system with economical LED tracklights. These allow flexible illumination of the exhibited vehicles and highlight areas. A lightline system of the latest generation ensures a uniform illumination of the vehicle delivery. State-of-the-art technology ensures a perfectly illuminated area for all vehicle types, which will be handed over to their new owners. In this area cars are often at different positions so that a flat soft illumination is necessary, with no dark spots. The total electricity savings of the retrofitted areas are more than 70% due to modern LED technology.
