Building automation specialist Bruck Electronic’s new LED Floodlight has won the Plus X Award for the Best Product of the Year in 2014.
The B.E.G. Luxomatic FL2N-LED-230 floodlight was also recognised for four out of the seven categories including High Quality, East of Use, Functionality and Ecology in front of 350 guests at the awards ceremony night in Cologne, Germany.
Now in its 11th year, the Plus X Award is the world’s largest award that honours manufacturers of technology, sport and lifestyle products. The award distinguishes products that are innovative, viable for the future and possess the ‘X’ Factor.
The panel of judges is made up of international and independent trade journalists and industry experts from 25 industries. The Plus X Award is awarded to products that demonstrate new technologies, extraordinary design and intelligent, easy-to-use operating systems. Products also have to show advanced ergonomic and ecological features and the use of high quality material in products that are sustainable and provide long lasting value.
In addition to being decorated in four categories, the Luxomatic Floodlight claimed the ‘Best Product of The Year’ award after it received the most individual seals of approval from judges than other comparable products within its category.
The German manufacturer’s floodlight is an integrated motion detector, which uses the latest light-emitting diode (LED) technology with 60 high-power LEDs. Designed for outdoor installation, the Luxomatic is ideal for monitoring large areas such as loading-ramp or car parking areas. It includes special reflector technology, which can provide up to 80% energy savings compared to conventional floodlights with a classic halogen tube of equal brightness.
The floodlight has a 230° detection range, 360° anti-creep protection and the lamp can be swiveled on three axis. It is also possible to connect additional lights that are switched in precisely the same way as the master light and the Luxomatic is adjustable for up or down lighting. The twilight switch and activation time can also be continuously varied.
B.E.G. UK director, Paul Jones said: “Everyone at B.E.G is delighted that our new LED Floodlight has been recognised by so many of our peers at such an esteemed event as the Plus X Award. This Plus X Award also highlights Bruck Electronic’s continuing commitment to making super energy efficient products ahead of its 40th year anniversary in 2015.”
