CUBESIGN II – The Maintenance-free LED Safety Luminaire by Zumtobel

CUBESIGN II by Zumtobel, the rectangular successor of the classic CUBESIGN escape route marking cube, is now even more versatile thanks to a protection class of IP54, recognition distances of up to 60 metres and multiple installation options, from the retail sector to airports and industrial manufacturing. The durable, maintenance-free LED safety luminaires in the CUBESIGN II range allow emergency exits in rooms of different sizes to be clearly marked.

Safety has never looked so good: the new CUBESIGN II LED safety luminaire by Zumtobel for marking escape routes combines maximum visibility, reliable operation and flexible use in a range of different surroundings. Thanks to its optimised form factor, the rectangular luminaire with an aspect ratio of 1:2 blends into any room design and can display a wide range of pictograms.

Whether in supermarkets, large DIY retailers, production halls or airports, CUBESIGN II ensures emergency exits are extremely easy to find – for increased safety in public spaces. It is available in two sizes with different recognition distances: 30 metres for medium-sized rooms and 60 metres for larger halls. Protection class IP54 ensures CUBESIGN II is protected against the ingress of dust and splashes of water – meaning it is also suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. Thanks to the extended temperature range of up to 55°C, the LED safety luminaire can withstand even higher ambient temperatures, such as those found in large data centres, for example.

The Swiss army knife of safety lighting

The wide range of CUBESIGN II’s mounting accessories creates a variety of installation options. Depending on individual room requirements, users can choose between installation directly in the ceiling, a chain attachment with four eyelets, a wall bracket in white sheet steel, and three different pre-wired pendant variants in lengths of 30, 50 or 100 cm. The LED safety luminaires can also be easily integrated into existing TECTON and TECTON II track systems. This flexibility significantly reduces installation costs and also enables the resource-saving utilisation of existing infrastructures, for improved sustainability.

Maintenance-free and durable thanks to modern power supply

In terms of power supply, CUBESIGN II users can choose between connection-free variants with an integrated battery (E1D, E3D, E1BC, E3BC) and variants for connection to an external power source (ECD, ECP, ECC or ELP). The connection-free versions of the safety luminaires have a long service life thanks to innovative lithium iron phosphate batteries. The higher energy density of this battery type means the battery packs themselves are more compact, which in turn reduces power consumption and weight and extends the permissible temperature range. It also extends the luminaire’s service life and minimises the amount of maintenance required.

The self-contained versions can be connected to the Bluetooth Casambi wireless lighting control system, while the ELP version with a central battery can be connected to Zumtobel’s nBox group battery system.
