Product innovation
At CLAREO, we are fully aware of the revolution in LED lighting and wish to be able to respond to all our customers' needs, even the most innovative ones. CLAREO has thus created a structure dedicated to the reflection and development of innovative products: the CLAREO Innovation Center.
To help you better understand the work of this Cell, here are some examples of innovations present on CLAREO products:
Disruptive innovation
Radically transforming an existing market, disruptive innovation is possible by introducing a completely new solution or product. At CLAREO, this innovation has resulted in the implementation of a new innovative Smart Lighting offer called SENSOR.
SENSOR is a complete range of products meeting all these expectations, allowing for quick energy savings of 45% (or more) (compared to a conventional LED lighting system).
Thus, depending on the technical needs and scope of your project, 2 Smart Lighting solutions are available to you:
Incremental innovation
Based on the continuous improvement of features, performance, price, or even accessories, incremental innovations allow us to expand our ranges according to the evolving demands of our customers.
Here's an example of incremental innovation on CLAREO HighBays from the ADVANCE range:
HighBay ADVANCE 1
Efficiency: 125 lm/W
HighBay ADVANCE 2
Efficiency: 130 lm/W
HighBay ADVANCE 3
Efficiency: 160 lm/W
Detector: screw-on
HighBay ADVANCE 4
Efficiency: 200 lm/W
Detector: Screw-on Zhaga
Converter: DALI
Advanced control: via Bluetooth terminal
Sustainable innovation (CSR)
Sustainable innovation involves, in particular, the constant search for optimizations of our product packaging to minimize their carbon footprint.
Here are some examples of sustainable innovations implemented on CLAREO products:
The packaging of our products is now made of raw cardboard, with information written in black ink, resulting in an 8-fold reduction in ink used.
We have replaced the essential plastic packaging of our products with non-woven textiles or kraft paper, recyclable and reusable materials.
In order to reduce the volume of our packaging, we stack our products ingeniously, thus allowing a 50% reduction in the volume of some of our product packaging.
Improvement innovation
Another type of innovation consists of differentiating our products through various improvements that make our customers' experience with CLAREO products better.
Here are some examples of improvement innovations implemented on CLAREO products:
• Easy-to-install products:
Our EverParks ADVANCE 3 have cable glands with fins that allow for easier unscrewing without forcing.
Most of our DomeLEDs have a drilling template directly drawn on their packaging for quick and easy installation.
Our MiniRays EasyClip have an innovative mechanism that allows for quick installation without pinching.
• Modular product ranges:
Some of our products are equipped with interchangeable reflectors that can help you modify either their appearance or one of their technical characteristics.
Because your installation needs may vary from one project to another, some of our accessories can be used in multiple ways. For example, our FloodPark can be installed vertically or horizontally.
Thanks to the CTT Switch present on some of our products, there's no need to stock 2 or even 3 color temperatures or power levels: you can directly choose them at the time of installation.
Technological innovation
In order to offer you products with increasingly competitive technical characteristics and prices, we are constantly working on innovative technological innovations.
This is, for example, the case with our Panels which used Edgelight technology before 2019 and are now offered to you in Backlight technology.
Our Panels have thus gone from a thickness of 9 mm with LEDs placed on the sides, to a thickness of 33 mm with LEDs placed on the back plate of the Panel.
This innovation allows us to offer you products that illuminate just as well, but with fewer components and therefore more competitive prices.
Regulatory innovation
Some of our products are also innovative in their compliance with new standards and regulations:
Because light pollution can harm ecosystems and human health, our FloodParks comply with the CIE No. 3 standard (flux code: 98.99%) and with the decree of December 27, 2018 on light pollution.
Since January 1, 2022, housing must comply with the RT 2020 standard by having an energy balance greater than zero: they must therefore produce more energy than they consume. This is, for example, the case with our MiniRays RT 2020.
The Energy Savings Certificates scheme is one of the main instruments of energy transition policy. That's why we offer you many CEE-certified products.
