The lighting experts from LEDVANCE launch a new product series, EVERLOOP, featuring luminaires with conveniently replaceable LED light sources and drivers. Rather than disposing of luminaires in their entirety, the product lifecycle of EVERLOOP luminaires supports various individual changes of light sources and drivers as well as software upgrades and thus maximize their lifespan and reduce waste. EVERLOOP products are not only a sustainable choice but also a convenient one for installers. The first model of the series to be available is the LEDVANCE Linear IndiviLED Gen 2 in December 2023 as direct and indirect versions with On/Off or DALI options respectively.
With EVERLOOP, LEDVANCE promotes a circular economy by maximizing the lifespan of their luminaires. Rather than having to replace luminaires in their entirety individual light sources and drivers can be conveniently replaced. This makes EVERLOOP a sustainable and convenient choice for installers, planners, and facility managers, among others for sustainable efficiency of industrial and office applications as well as public buildings. Benefits include an extended lifetime and reduced waste, as well as cost savings, and maintaining the same looks in architectural settings as luminaires’ components can be replaced.
“EVERLOOP is our answer to the challenge of going from a linear to a circular product lifecycle for luminaires, contributing to the EU’s plan to reduce electronic waste,” said Nuno Paiva, Head of Professional Portfolio Management at LEDVANCE. “The key feature of EVERLOOP luminaires is that critical components, such as the light sources and drivers, are conveniently upgradeable or replaceable, with available spare parts. That makes the luminaire EVER-lasting. In the future, we intend to integrate this feature into more and more of our luminaire series to save material and minimize waste.”
The IndiviLED models will be followed by additional EVERLOOP models in 2024 including LEDVANCE Panel IndiviLED Gen 2 and LEDVANCE Damp Proof G2 among others.
“From line to loop”: LEDVANCE LOOP brand bundles the lighting experts’ sustainability endeavors

The concept behind the LEDVANCE LOOP brand is a big step for the company and is expected to transform the future of the lighting industry: “We invested millions of dollars into research and development so that we can contribute to a more sustainable industry,” says Gareth Jackson, Chief Operating Officer at LEDVANCE. “In this era of transformation at LEDVANCE, sustainability is not a destination but a continuous journey. It's about more than just being environmentally conscious; it's about reshaping our practices, reducing our carbon footprint, creating collaborative spaces, and promoting ethical business conduct. As we evolve, we're not only enhancing our competitiveness but also nurturing a sustainable future for our business, the environment, and our people. It's our pledge to do better today than we did yesterday and to inspire others to join us on this path. This is what LEDVANCE LOOP stands for.”
