Zhaga-compliant LED products

First Zhaga-compliant products point the way to a bright LED future

More than 30 companies presented Zhaga-compliant LED products for the first time at the at Light+Building(trade show).

Zhaga’s six specifications enable the interchangeability of six different LED light sources, significantly reducing costs and risks of developing new LED products – without limiting creativity or freedom of design.

"The presentation of Zhaga at Light+Building was a success. The products shown by our member companies demonstrate what Zhaga achieved in a short period of time. The lighting industry and the end users will profit from our specifications in the long term," says Menno Treffers, Secretary General of the Zhaga consortium, which was founded in 2010 and has since grown to over 190 member companies from Europe, Asia and North America.

Until now, there was a lack of compatibility between LED light sources made by different manufacturers. Thanks to Zhaga, luminaire manufacturers are able to upgrade the LED light source in their luminaires, without changing the reflector and mechanical design. In addition to Light+Building, the consortium will be providing information and education throughout 2012 at the International Lightfair in Las Vegas and the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition in China, where further Zhaga-compliant products will be shown.
