OECHSLER is constantly working on more sustainable products and has therefore redesigned professional track spotlights. Building on our polymer expertise and high quality standards in automotive and healthcare, we have replaced a relevant aluminum content in high lumen output spotlights with heavy duty plastics. e³ is designed to minimize eco-footprint and maximize efficiency, while maximizing light quality. We thus offer innovative thermal management and significantly reduce the eco-footprint both during manufacture and over the entire lifetime. Thanks to its minimalist and modular design, it allows e³ to be integrated into any architectural space and is ideal for shop/retail applications.
As a polymer specialist, OECHSLER has pursued a sustainable product approach from the very beginning. e³ has an injection-molded housing made of recycled plastic, which significantly reduces the amount of aluminum required. The plastic, which is also used in automotive applications, also does not require any environmentally harmful painting or powder coating. This results in much more environmentally friendly manufacturing, significantly easier recyclability, and a more than 60 percent reduction in carbon emissions during production compared to commercial power track spotlights made of powder-coated aluminum.
e³ is one of the most powerful, compact and lightweight track spotlights in its performance class for future-proof lighting solutions. e³ uses smart thermal management, a new high-efficiency OECHSLER Hybrid Optic (OHO) based on high-performance polymers, and the latest high-efficiency LED COBs from leading manufacturers.
The e³ housing becomes only lukewarm during operation and e³ can thus be easily aligned without protective gloves, for optimum illumination at all times. The highly efficient OECHSLER Hybrid Optics (OHO) consists of a special plastic lens and a lens housing made of highly reflective white plastic. With the same lumen output, the core light has up to 70% higher illuminance on the target object compared to the reflector spotlight, giving it a more vivid and sharper appearance. Depending on the power track spotlight previously used, e³ can save up to 50% or more in energy costs. e³ can be configured for almost any application and has a very high range of lumen output from 1,000 to 3,700 lm and is compatible with standard three-phase power track systems on the market.
As an established supplier to the automotive and healthcare industries and by producing in Germany, we ensure the highest product quality, fulfill the best possible environmental protection that meets all relevant standards, and local component sourcing for a minimal product carbon footprint and reduced transport emissions.
In addition to DIN EN ISO 9001, our three German sites are all certified to DIN EN ISO 14001 (environmental management), DIN EN ISO 50001 (energy management) and IATF16949 (automotive quality management). e³ has been tested and certified by independent test institutes such as VDE and DIAL and has the internationally renowned ENEC certification. CE conformity has additionally been confirmed to us by the VDE.
What our customers say:
"The focus on energy efficiency and carbon footprint exactly meets the pulse of the times."
e³ - sustainable lighting is your luminous solution for reducing carbon emissions in production and due to energy saving over livetime.
The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) is calculated according to the global standard of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) and is already standard in some industries. The GHG Protocol is a private transnational set of standards for greenhouse gas emissions accounting and reporting for companies. With e³, we want to contribute to establishing this value, which is so important for the environment, in the lighting industry as well. We therefore state our confirmed PCF in the data sheets.
Thanks to OECHSLER's plastics expertise, high-performance plastics were used in the development of the power track spotlights. Engineering thermoplastics enable efficient thermal management and excellent optical properties. Furthermore, unlike aluminum, which requires energy-intensive manufacturing and forming, there is no need for painting or powder coating of housing components. We use recycled or recyclable plastics for a closed-loop system.
This approach has enabled us to reduce CO2 emissions during production by more than 60% (so-called grade to gate consideration). In addition, plastic also offers the advantage that it does not have to be painted or even powder coated. This protects the environment during the production of the housing parts and also makes recycling at the end of the service life much easier, since the paint/powder coating does not have to be removed first, which is harmful to the environment.
The light from our OECHSLER Hybrid Optics is more focused. The core light has up to 70% higher illuminance on the target object with the same lumen output compared to the reflector spotlight, making it look more vivid and sharp. The CRI value is always greater than 90, so that the products are naturally illuminated. The light distribution is very homogeneous with focused illuminance in the core light. The transition from the core light to the edge area and the dark area is soft, without a hard edge. Alternatively, one can use the higher illuminance in the core light to further reduce the power consumption of the lighting system, or at least partially. With the reflector spotlight, there is a relatively hard shadow edge - a "flashlight effect". With the lens, the light distribution is much more harmonious.
The e3 power track spotlight Made-in-Germany combines sustainable design, smart technology and unparalleled illuminance. For our customers, this results in a high-performance product with a harmonious light pattern, where energy can be saved significantly. With its leading expertise in polymer solutions, OECHSLER offers the highest product quality, a reduced CO2 footprint in manufacturing and resilient supply chains within Europe.
