Light that adapts – perfectly attuned to seasonal highlights

Thanks to the flexible TECTON continuous-row lighting system with tunable white technology, light colours and atmospheres can be adjusted seamlessly aligning with the shifting colour palettes of each season. High-quality LED luminaires don't just offer optimal colour rendering, but also protect sensitive plants by emitting IR- and UV-free light.

Design and functionality combined – integrating acoustics and safety.

TECTON integrates general lighting, emergency lighting, and acoustics into a cohesive system. The seamless integration of loudspeakers, sockets, and safety lighting ensures maximum functionality and safety. Custom special solutions - such as individually painted fixtures - emphasise the aesthetic vision of the garden centre.

Energy-efficient lighting for a sustainable future in the garden centre

In addition to top-tier light quality, the garden centre prioritises efficiency and eco-friendliness. Energy-saving LED technology, water-resistant features, and flexible control systems contribute to sustainable building utilisation. The collaborative partnership between Zumtobel and the lighting designers facilitated a bespoke, client-focused implementation.

"It was very important to us not to use the light for the sake of it. Instead, it should remain in the background to allow flowers, plants, and accessories to take centre stage."
Roger Krüsi, Member of the Executive Board at Projekt AG
