Loox — Plug and play system

Innovative Plug & Play system for LED furniture lights

Versatile, flexible light switches that are ideal for the respective situation make living areas comfortable for any possible use. After all, modern living rooms are multifunctional rooms for watching television, reading, playing, relaxing with family and friends and working in the home office.

Light in furniture is an international trend, and therefore also an important topic. The furniture and interior fittings industry is hoping to use it to achieve additional sales and competitive advan-tages. However, from a global perspective, light in furniture also represents a challenge. This is because the progress of the global trend has been hampered by large numbers of national standards and regulations, different voltage and power plugs etc. This makes it more difficult to achieve rational production of furniture with light beyond national borders. Loox, the new LED light system from Häfele, provides furniture makers with problem-free certifications and connections to the entire world.

The heart of this system is the Loox driver, which has been developed by Häfele. It provides furniture manufacturers with four main advantages:

- Loox drivers can be used worldwide for power sys-tems with AC voltage of 100 to 240 Volts, and are therefore suitable for furniture in different markets. Plugs are available for any country. The motto is “Just plug it in”.

- The switching function that is integrated in the driver makes it possible to make a direct connection to all of the most frequently used switches such as push switches, sensor switches, dimmer switches and motion detectors. It couldn’t be easier.
- To go with the driver of the Loox system, Häfele has a wide range of LED lights in stock that can be combined in many different ways due to the stan-dardised plug-in connection.
- The standardised plug-in connections make it child’s play to install the lights in furniture, and they can also be retrofitted by the installer or even by the furniture buyer himself.

This LED light provides well-being in your personal refuge, the bedroom.

Future-proof with Loox from Häfele
Loox from Häfele provides reliability in production and is also extremely future-proof. At present there are different LED technologies for the different application areas on the market. On the one hand, there are LED’s that are operated at a constant current of 350/700 mA, also known as Power LED’s. Because of their outstanding light yield, they are mainly used as spotlights. On the other hand there are voltage-controlled systems for 12 or 24 Volt LED lights. Häfele supplies all three systems with a clear and unambiguous identification system. The drivers and lights for the respective LED systems are equipped with distinctive plugs and are colour and text coded. Mix-ups are therefore impossible.

Loox with Häfele engineering
Years of comprehensive development work took place in order to achieve this standardisation of the LED systems and efficiently integrate them in the manufacture of mass-produced furniture. The clear and simple modular system provides structure and achieves planning reliability. The Loox product range is guaranteed to be globally deployable by complying with high testing standards with appropriate certification.
