Nominated: Fluorescent-to-LED retrofit unit The Resus fluorescent-to-LED retrofit fixture from The Regen Initiative has been nominated for a Build Back Better Award in the lighting category.  It offers a simple fluorescent-to-LED retrofit option for upgrading luminaires. Designed to fit the majority of existing T5 and T8 fluorescent fittings, its design allows it to pick up on existing fluorescent lamp holders, using them only as a mechanical fix.  All electronics are remote by the way of a remote driver allowing the product to be controls agnostic. Resus is designed to operate within any space where a fluorescent lamp once occupied.  It’s controls agnostic, meaning Resus can work within any building management system and will operate with any fixed output, DALI or wireless drivers, and will, as standard, operate with key switch, self-test and DALI monitored addressable emergency systems.  Resus features 3D-printed end caps which can be changed to suit T5, T8 and PLL lamp holders.  In an upgrade, the existing fluorescent lamp and driver are removed but that the original fitting remains in situ thus negating the need for the product to be placed through the e-waste stream and retaining all its embodied carbon.  The materials used in Resus contain a significant percentage of post-consumer recyclate and, other than cutting to length to suit the lamp dimensions, requires no post-finishing.  Self-assessment to TM66 scores the product at 3.1. The product is also assembled without the use of adhesives, resulting in the product being able to be repurposed and ultimately easily recycled at end of life, in line with circular economy principles. • The Build Back Better Awards celebrates innovation, creativity, social purpose and environmental leadership in the build environment. The 2024 lighting category is currently open for entries. The closing date is Friday 6 September 2024. Link in the comments.
