MAGNET TRILUX
LIGHTING SOLUTIONS
MAGNET has been appointed as the exclusive
distributor and supporter of the German range of
Trilux lighting solutions in South Africa.
“Trilux indoor and outdoor lighting products
– manufactured in Europe to stringent quality
and safety specifications – are designed for
use in offices, healthcare, educational facilities
and industrial installations,” says Dean Lotter,
divisional head, Magnet Energy. Intelligent lighting
solutions create suitable illumination for specific
application areas, and custom designed Trilux
solutions enable Magnet engineers to create
energy efficient lighting concepts that meet
individual requirements. For example, luminaires
and accessories, designed especially for business
locations, ensure suitable lighting for reception
areas, offices, corridors, meeting rooms, restrooms
and parking areas.
“Energy-efficient lighting technology is be-
coming increasingly important in the industrial
sector. Modern lighting reduces operating costs,
improves visual conditions and enhances con-
centration. These factors significantly improve
productivity and operating safety, and protect the
environment through integration into control net-
works,” says Lotter.
The Trilux range encompasses indoor
luminaires, downlights and spotlights, trunking and
diffusers, as well as outdoor luminaires, spotlights
and floodlights. Lighting control systems include
intelligent light management, energy saving and
colour control systems, as well as manual controls.
The intelligent LiveLink light management
system utilises advanced sensor technology for
simple and reliable control of all light points, even
for complex lighting systems. LiveLink, which is
optionally integrated to optimise energy savings
and enable individualised lighting, facilitates
effortless planning, installation and modifications.
Magnet’s Trilux lighting solutions, which are
enhanced by advanced LED innovations, meet
the requirements of every project, to ensure
suitable illumination, energy efficiency, enhanced
aesthetics and optimum safety.

THE SHUFFLE SMART LIGHTING COLUMN
THE cities of Budapest and Balatonfüred hosted the FINA World
Championships 2017 from 14 th to 30th July, during which time ath-
letes thrilled spectators with their swimming, water polo and diving
skills.
Ahead of the event, Budapest seized the opportunity to
implement the first smart city initiatives in the capital. It wanted to
provide a connected urban space that would contribute to creating
an engaging, unforgettable experience for athletes and fans, and
evolve the city as a liveable, socially inclusive and dynamic space.
The area around the newly built Duna Arena, the main venue for
the championship, was redeveloped and the Turbina promenade
created. The riverside embankment provides easy access to the
arena and features a bike path, which is an integral part of the
EuroVelo international bicycle network along the River Danube.
To create a connected space, local authorities installed the
Shuffle, which provides the necessary infrastructure
– in a single aesthetic column – for a range of services that improve
quality of life for residents. Today, the modular system delivers an
energy-efficient lighting solution that creates safe and welcoming
landscapes while reducing the carbon footprint. Some columns are
equipped with cameras to enhance the feeling of security while
other Shuffles provide free WiFi for visitors and residents. All the
Shuffles can be upgraded at any time to include extra features
such as loudspeakers, EV chargers or sensors. The city intends to
add new services in the near future to increase the efficiency of its
public infrastructure.
A total of 160 Shuffles have been installed to date, contributing
to the creation of a vibrant and connected outdoor space where
athletes, visitors and residents can run, cycle or relax.

city of Budapest is leveraging
technology to turn its smart city
ambitions into reality.
