Enable new markets for connected and serviceable lighting through interoperability. See more
What is Circularity Lighting?
Durable, repairable and upgradeable LED luminaires are key elements contributing to sustainable lighting. Zhaga is developing and standardizing interface specifications for components of serviceable luminaires, to help facilitate a new market framework called “Circularity Lighting”.
Zhaga is creating a series
of specifications, known as
Books. Each Book defines
the interface of one or more
components of an LED
luminaire. Such components
include LED light engines,
LED modules, LED drivers,
LED arrays, holders, and
connectivity fit systems.
Zhaga Certification is an easy way to future-proof your luminaire by ensuring it will be able to host next generation Zhaga-D4i nodes.
