Projects

Body and spirit in equilibrium. A balance between man and the environment. Between giving and taking. HBI aims for a balance in everything we do. What does it mean in practice? That we prefer long-term relationships with suppliers, staff and customers. Links that are based on win-win situations, on a two-way street. As soon as we develop new products, that search for balance means we have to take it to the limit. And the ultimate aim is symbiosis between design and functionality. Between safety and sustainability. Between energy efficiency and comfort.

A game in which we find out where the technological barriers are and then push them further.
Inspired by our dreams. Driven by the market’s demands.
Ideas such as lighting that is only on at full power when it’s really needed.
Intensely innovative lighting that not only saves energy but also extends the lifespan of the light source. That is what we at HBI refer to as LEDOLOGY.

“Balance is about finding the boundaries and then extending them”

Climate change. Falling biodiversity. Exhaustion of raw materials. These major worries about the future are demanding worldwide action.
But it’s never too early to start making a difference. Cut down on energy consumption and make waste a thing of the past. HBI helps.
HBI is offering companies and organizations a helping hand through LEDOLOGY.
A shining example of intelligence and sustainability.
LEDOLOGY stands for:
• Pleasant and natural light, adjusted to suit human requirements
• Significant energy savings while retaining the safety and comfort
• Minimum maintenance costs thanks to renewable materials and technology

Fittings with ‘LEDOLOGY inside’ will generally last for more than 100,000 hours (!) and yield energy savings of 35% to 75%. This means that LEDOLOGY is giving the user not only a ‘feel-good factor’ but also a substantial financial benefit with a short payback time.

“It’s never too early to start making a difference”

Nature is the ultimate example of perfect design. The form always has a function. The solutions can appear to be childishly simple, but pure genius in terms of effectiveness. This is why nature is such a source of inspiration for HBI.
New products have the ‘HBI fingerprint’. They meet the demands for simplicity, sturdiness and innovative yet reliable technology.

Take the 300 Eagle series. Designed and produced with an eye for detail. A fitting that is made of click-together components. Intuitive and quick to install. A robust polycarbonate casing that will last for years without discolouring. Reliable, innovative electronics that use very little energy and extend the lifespan of both the battery and the light source. A user-friendly product with a high-quality finish, which numerous users have already embraced. Perfectly suited for anywhere that needs something to catch the eye: office environments, care institutions, hospitals, schools, hotels and shops.

“Nature: the perfect designs that we take as our example”

Progress does not only lead to improved welfare. It has also left us facing environment and climate questions too. Going back to the age of the horse and cart is not an option, though.
We believe that sustainable innovation can provide solutions. That it can provide the answer to the question of how we can use light and energy as efficiently as possible. And the prime example is POLARIS. A series of sustainable and energy-efficient fittings. With superb performance, thanks to the intelligent electronics. Based on functions that are controlled without any moving parts. There is just a single PCB and one powerful microchip. Special lenses spread the light out for long areas such as corridors or square ones such as lobbies and entrances. The unique optical properties concentrate more light on the ground and save energy. Perfectly suited for use as economical security lighting around company and municipal premises. And it is the solution for normal and emergency lighting in walkways, lobbies, stair wells and exits. The residents will feel demonstrably safer.
