Thorn and Zumtobel offer intelligent, energy-efficient lighting solutions designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centres. Together, the two Zumtobel Group brands provide a coordinated lighting offer spanning the data hall and wider data centre campus.
Data centres operate around the clock, placing significant demands on lighting performance, reliability and energy efficiency. Power availability is also becoming increasingly important as facilities evolve to accommodate AI, high-performance computing and higher rack densities. Lighting therefore needs to be efficient today while providing the flexibility to respond to changing operational needs.
At the heart of the data hall offer, Zumtobel’s TECTON II continuous-row lighting system provides a flexible platform for changing environments. Its modular architecture combines operational reliability with the ability to adapt as layouts and requirements evolve. Application-specific optics direct light precisely where it is required, providing visibility for operational and maintenance tasks while minimising unnecessary illumination.
Zumtobel’s LITECOM intelligent lighting management adds another layer of efficiency and control. Functions including scheduling, presence and daylight-based control help ensure lighting is used according to operational requirements. Connected technologies can also enable monitoring and wider smart-building strategies, helping operators optimise when and how lighting energy is consumed.
Across the wider facility, Thorn and Zumtobel provide solutions for offices, circulation spaces, technical areas, car parks, access roads and external environments. The breadth of the two portfolios enables lighting to be considered as one coordinated approach across the data centre campus.
This combined expertise has already been deployed across major data centre projects. At Global Switch London East, Thorn and Zumtobel have delivered a scalable lighting solution across multiple floors, designed to evolve alongside increasingly powerful computing technologies. At Kao Data Campus, Thorn and Zumtobel provided lighting focused on operational performance, energy efficiency and long-term sustainability.
With specialist expertise and a global network, Thorn and Zumtobel work collaboratively with data centre operators, consultants, designers and contractors. From the data hall to the wider campus, the combined approach brings together efficient lighting, intelligent control and adaptable infrastructure for today’s data centre environments.
