Name
Cubic Evolution
Use advice for data set The life cycle analysis of the declared products includes modules A1-A3, A4, B6, C1-C4, D („from cradle to grave with options“) according to EN 15804 and ITB PCR A.
Technical purpose of product or process Lightnet employs more than 600 people in 7 different countries, not only in Europe but also in North America. The company offers 14 families of various luminaires suitable for installation on different surfaces. The EPD‘s environmental declaration developed as part of this document covers its Cubic Evolution family, which includes 18 different types of luminaires. Cubic Evolution luminaires Cubic stands for timeless cubist architectural structures that are ahead of all trends for aesthetic and functional reasons. The design of this product is based on the idea of a cubist form that is as minimalist as possible. With its geometric shape and available colours, the Cubic family will fit perfectly into modern interiors of various types of buildings. In response to customer needs, the range includes luminaires in several versions: wall, floor, surface-mounted, recessed and pendant. The latest generation of Cubic meets the highest technological requirements, such as lateral light emission, LED technology, upward lens technology, wide light distribution. Lightnet‘s products are manufactured using the latest technologies, with the aim of maximising savings in both electrical and thermal energy during the production process. The production facilities are powered by electricity from photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. With timeless design and high quality products, the company follows the idea of a closed-loop economy by producing materials that can be dismantled and recycled. One of the materials used in production is aluminium, which the company sources from high-efficiency smelters powered by renewable energy. The pallets used by the company are made from its own recycled cardboard boxes. By constantly optimising our products, Lightnet aims to achieve the highest levels of productivity, durability and quality. Lightnet offers a 5 year warranty on all products. All additional technical information about the product is available on the manufacturer's website.
General comment on data set The data for calculating modules A1-A4 come from the audited LCI inventory data of the individual plants. The data quality has been assessed according to Annex E of EN 15804 + A2. In terms of technical representativeness, processes with a „very good“ quality level represent 99% of the values for the climate change indicators. In terms of geographical and temporal representativeness, the process was rated „very good“. The classification in this study was done according to the ITB PCR A guidelines. The production of the luminaires for which the input data was collected takes place in Lightnet‘s manufacturing facilities. The Cubic Evolution product family includes various luminaire types such as free-standing, table, recessed, surface-mounted and pendant luminaires. The luminaires differ slightly in the composition of components and mounting accessories. These impacts can be allocated on the basis of product weight. All impacts resulting from the extraction of the raw materials used for production are assigned to module A1. The manufacture of the products is based 67% on raw materials and 33% on recycled materials. 75% of the aluminium used is recycled. The impact of internal transport is reported in module A2. The consumption of electricity, gas, fuel and waste for the entire production process is part of module A3. The material, electricity, gas and fuel consumption of Lightnet‘s plants has been recorded 100%. The assessment includes all relevant parameters resulting from the recorded production data. This includes all materials used in production, electricity, gas and fuel consumption as well as direct production waste. Packaging materials were also recorded. The Lightnet luminaires are packaged in cardboard boxes and paper made from recycled paper and cardboard waste.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
