New Gradeo luminaire from Sylvania: The ideal solution for lighting school buildings

This also applies to teachers and all staff whose comfort and well-being depend on it. However, the majority of existing facilities in France are outdated.

To help local authorities meet the dual challenge of providing a quality environment while controlling the costs associated with buildings and their operation, Sylvania Group is launching Gradeo, a new range of LED ceiling lights for the service sector, particularly for educational premises.

Optimal visual comfort for improved learning capacity

To help significantly improve occupant well-being while reducing visual fatigue, Sylvania's new Gradeo range of ceiling lights features a highly efficient prismatic diffuser.

This specific optic offers a wide beam angle and delivers homogeneous lighting in all office environments while ensuring low glare (UGR ≤ 19). This is a significant factor for students who spend more than 8.000 cumulative hours in the classroom, which is above the OECD and European Union averages (see Statista, a global data and business intelligence platform).

Performance and versatility at the rendezvous

Available in a white finish, the Gradeo luminaire from Sylvania measures 205 mm wide and 53 mm thick. It is available in two sizes: 1280 mm for a luminous flux of 3900 lm and 1580 mm for 4600 lm.

In addition to a luminous efficacy of up to 144 lm/W, it has three color temperatures (3000K, 3500K and 4000K) selectable on the driver and is available in multi-power three-position versions (19W, 23W, 27W for the 1280 mm ceiling light / 23W, 27W, 32W for the 1580 mm one) non-dimmable or DALI compatible push button, thus offering maximum flexibility.

To enhance the functionality of the lighting fixtures in the range, Sylvania offers easy-to-install plug & play kits that come pre-equipped with quick-connectors. These kits include sensors:

• microwave (MW) for presence and light detection, compatible with the multi-power version, with adjustable time delay and trigger level that guarantee high detection sensitivity,
• SylSmart Connected to add, to Gradeo DALI only, the intelligent lighting management solution.

This will lead to significant energy savings!

Powered from the top, in the center of the light fixture, or from the sides, Gradeo by Sylvania can be mounted either surface-mounted or suspended, thanks to dedicated accessories.

Boasting a lifespan of 98.000 hours with 80% of the initial light output maintained and a 5-year warranty, Sylvania's Gradeo has everything to convince local authorities to upgrade the lighting in their schools: the energy efficiency of LED technology, combined with intelligent light management systems for a real reduction in consumption, simplified maintenance, and maximum visual comfort for all!
