Efficiency and aesthetics at their finest
In luxury furniture design, combining functionality, aesthetics, and efficiency is essential to capture the attention of major brands and maximize the return on leased space in premium locations such as airports and shopping malls. In these environments, high space costs and energy restrictions pose unique challenges that must be solved with innovative technology and intelligent design.
Technical innovation to highlight design and protect products
Luxury furniture must not only stand out visually but also meet specific technical requirements. This includes lighting and wiring solutions that occupy minimal space, allowing the furniture to double as efficient storage for products such as creams, fragrances, and makeup. Additionally, the LED technology used should generate minimal heat to avoid damaging the organic components of creams, altering fragrances, or melting cosmetics.
“LED lighting, besides being energy-efficient, must emit minimal heat to prevent damage to these sensitive products.”
At Actilum, we design innovative LED systems that save up to 40% of energy compared to conventional LED products, perfectly adapting to the stringent energy consumption regulations per square meter commonly found in airports and shopping malls.
Ventilation: Key to performance and durability
Proper ventilation is essential in commercial furniture. Durable, low-maintenance 230V ball-bearing fans should be placed at the top in extraction mode, while air intakes should be positioned at the bottom to ensure efficient and constant airflow. Additionally, it is important to use circuit breakers rated at 6A, 10A, or 16A and current meters to easily monitor electrical consumption during inspections.
Power supplies for efficiency and compact design
Appropriate power supplies are crucial for luxury furniture design. Metal RS or LRS-type power supplies should be avoided due to their low efficiency, electrical contact risks, and non-compliance with wood furniture regulations. Instead, (Osram OT Slim LED drivers 24V) constant voltage) are ideal for their compact size, while Actilum’s X6 LED drivers provide high performance for constant current (CC) systems, combining efficiency and robustness.
High-efficiency solutions for functional luxury
Our systems, such as Frontline M8 CC, S12 CC, Line Ledexpert 112 CC, and Luxpanel CC, are designed to provide up to 40% more illumination than competitors while minimizing energy consumption and heat emissions:
Frontline M8 CC: Ideal for logos and top graphics, with a 5,000 K color temperature offering professional and balanced lighting.
Line Ledexpert 112 CC: Perfect for storage shelves, consuming only 6.75 W per profile and saving 42% compared to traditional systems.
S12 CC: Features an efficient design that ensures optimized energy consumption, achieving a 33% savings compared to conventional systems.
Luxpanel CC: Maximizes luminous efficiency with an advanced design, enabling a 40% energy savings over standard alternatives.
How to optimize space and energy efficiency
Minimalist design is key to maximizing high-cost spaces in commercial venues. This is achieved through:
Discrete and efficient wiring: Concealed tracks for LED profiles and decorative systems, ensuring order and functionality.
Low-temperature illuminated shelves: Ideal for storing and displaying sensitive products like cosmetics and fragrances.
Actilum CC technology: Delivers superior lighting even within the energy restrictions imposed by shopping mall policies.
Sustainability: The new luxury
Sustainability is a key differentiator. Actilum’s high-efficiency CC LED systems not only reduce energy consumption but also extend the furniture’s lifespan, reducing environmental impact.
Success stories: Luxury and efficiency in harmony
One notable example is our collaboration with a luxury brand in Barcelona, where we installed Line Ledexpert and Luxpanel CC systems for a central piece in their flagship store.
Achievements:
- Products illuminated with uniform, precise light and high CRI.
- A 35% reduction in energy consumption, aligning with the brand’s sustainability goals.
