Xicato now offers unprecedented 10-year warranty on lumen and colour for the family of XCA, XTM LED light sources and XIM light engines which further supports today’s circular economy.
Xicato, the leading provider of smart building wireless controls and highest quality LED light sources, recently announced its line of LEDs with Corrected Cold Phosphor Technology®; the XCA, XTM and the XIM intelligent light module, are now backed with the industry’s only 10-year warranty on lumen and colour. Previously, Xicato offered a 5-year warranty on the XCA and XTM, and up to a 7-year warranty on the XIM. Widely recognized as the highest quality light sources for over a decade, XCA, XTM and XIM have set the standards for colour rendering, colour maintenance and reliability. The XIM, with its integrated driver, flicker-free dimming, and Bluetooth Mesh controls sets further precedence for reliability for a plug-and-play LED engine since the typical external LED driver is often the failure point in an installation long before the LED’s life span. Xicato’s extension of warranty is based on millions of these sources still in service around the world, as well as the Company’s own extensive long-term testing over the past 10 years, all with relative colour points that are virtually indistinguishable from a brand-new light even after more than a decade of use.
“We welcome the news that Xicato will make a long-term commitment to the mortality, lumen output and colour consistency of their sources with this 10-year warranty,” said Ali Kay, Director, Head of Development at Stoane Lighting. “We design our light fittings to last. Using light sources also designed to last aligns well with this long-held core ethos. Stoane Lighting pledges 25-year support for its products and is active in encouraging circular approach to manufacturing: Design it to last, design it to be repaired, and design it to be upgraded — ‘Re-New’ Not Replace! If we can do all that with fewer light source replacements, then the environmental impact of our products during their lifetime is even further reduced.”
“As the premier distributor for lighting in Europe and official distributor of Xicato modules and accessories for BeNeLux, France and DACH, we have enjoyed a long partnership with Xicato as both companies are passionate about quality lights and how it enhances our lives,” said Rob Verbeelen, Luxendi’s General Manager. “Xicato is not only the clear leader in quality lights, their commitment to their customers is unparalleled as exemplified by an outstanding lumen and colour warranty that is unique in our industry.”
