TRILUX and OTTO FUCHS Win Double Award for Innovative Aluminium Recycling Project
The joint recycling project between lighting company TRILUX and metal processor OTTO FUCHS, called "Louvres in the Loop," won two awards at the Build Back Better Awards 2026 in London: Platinum and Green. The jury recognized their process for converting aluminium from old luminaire louvres into new luminaire profiles without remelting. The awards, presented during the Circular Lighting Live 2026 conference on 8 October, highlight innovation and sustainability in the built environment. TRILUX has begun producing recycled-aluminium luminaire profiles (RCY variants) in silver, gold, and black, and initial pilot projects with customers are already underway.

IEC 60598-2-24:2026 published — updated requirements for limited-surface-temperature luminaires
The new edition of IEC 60598-2-24:2026 has been officially published. It specifies essential safety requirements for luminaires intended for use where combustible dust or flammable materials are present, necessitating strict control of enclosure surface temperatures to prevent fire or ignition. The revision aligns test methods and construction requirements with recent developments in industrial and specialist lighting and with the latest edition of the general standard CEI EN 60598-1:2024. Publication of the EN and subsequent CEI standard will follow as formal steps, after unanimous positive votes. ASSIL members can contact the Technical Area for clarification.
