Using LED's makes sense – but which solution
is a long term efficient one? Tests and developments
of the R&D department help to find
the right one.
Since 2009 we offer energy saving and cost
optimizing LED lamps for escalators, moving
walks and elevators as a replacement for
conventional lamps like fluorescent lightings
(high voltage or fluorescent lamps). Ever
since not only LED technology has been
under development. Our R&D department
was not staying inactive: Actually we offer to
our customers an all new GFT development
consisting of a LED replacement package.
So we were able to further enhance the
saving potentials and fast amortizing of the
respective solutions.

Thanks to a long-term cooperation to
well-known suppliers high-quality and
standardized components become
cheaper. The life time could be further
extended. We use for it highly durable
high-end quality made in Germany. Cabling
is not visible any-more and it is therefore safe
to touch. White light can be selected in
several different warm tones – colour of light
and design solutions allow even more
creative use. With a built-in diffusor disruptive
spot light can be distributed more evenly.
The new screwed mounting supports
enhance the safety and reduce the time
needed for installation. According to safety
standards a minimum illuminance of 50 Lux is
required for any visible part of the step band
of an escalator. The GFT solution optimizes
the required operation safety for a long
period of time.
Illuminating escalators and elevators with fluorescent lamps is a
thing of the past. Retrofitting and converting of lighting systems
for escalators and elevators with LED's has become a standard
and is not useful to discuss about it. Nevertheless the R&D
department is working on further components and solutions –
Why?
Because it pays off! Through cooperation with suppliers of
high-quality "Made-in-Germany" industrial components and
the use of latest technology life time and efficiency of the LED
modules could be enhanced significantly. Furthermore – with
similar time of amortization – the installation effort is reduced
again.
And something more is true again: Cheap does not mean
there is a good value for your money! We prefer sustainable
solutions and profitable investments.
