December 30, 2022 -During the December days, filled with the holiday spirit, BUCK got another significant reason to celebrate. The Museum of Architecture and Design (Chicago Athenaeum) and the European Center for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies awarded our VISION system with the GOOD DESIGN Award for 2022. At this year's traditional 72nd competition, held in Chicago, a record number of applications from the world's leading manufacturers and firms for industrial and graphic design from 55 countries were considered.

As the winner of one of the awards, our VISION System represents the tunnel lighting segment that is part of the BUCK smart system, and consists of lighting units (VISION) and drivers for powering LED light sources. In the past years, our System S, the REGINA industrial luminaire, the MISTRAL street luminaire, and many others have been awarded this prestigious award. This award is the result of the enormous effort of our entire team, and for us, it is a great pride, recognition, and an incentive for further growth, development and improvement of the business.

December 2, 2022 - The daily striving for progress and implementing new technologies in our production united us earlier this year with the company Molex. Following the development of technology on the global market, we were able to develop and upgrade our product range with a special PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology type of luminaires. BUCK is one of only three European companies that has tested and configured its products according to PoE technology in cooperation with Molex, and as such, we became one of the prominent members of the CoreSync EcoSystem in the Lighting Alliance Associates sector. Spreading the knowledge in our teams, today we can be proud of the certifications given by Molex to two of our technology experts, Miroslav Živanović and Bogdan Nastić, who successfully completed the CoreSync Alliance training for the CoreSync PoE-trained manufacturers of intelligent lighting systems.

25 November, 2022 - For this year's World Quality Day and European Quality Week, another forum for quality and business excellence was organized, during which the companies with the highest success rate in the current year were awarded. Among the five remarkable companies that were awarded with the "2022 Oscar for Business Excellence", was BUCK lighting, recognized for its achievements in the fields of strategy, market activity, and customer relationship. On this occasion, we would like to thank the Foundation for Culture of Quality and Excellence (FQCE) for this prestigious recognition, as well as the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, which organized this event with the support of the Serbian Ministry of Economy and under the patronage of the Petroleum Industry of Serbia (NIS).

21 November, 2022 - Considering the sudden increase in the price of energy resources and electricity, in the new issue of Logistika&Transport, dedicated to energy savings, we talked about the savings in energy that companies can achieve by switching to LED lighting. On the example of changes in the effective price of electricity in Serbia, and with practical examples of our lighting projects (Bambi, Metech, and Milšped), we illustrated the achieved energy savings and the results obtained through the application of our lighting solutions.

In our article in this publication, you can read about how much it is worth to invest in LED lighting, and in what time the investment can be returned, but also on specific illustrative examples, you can find out the percentage of annual energy savings by installing LED sources compared to the old lighting systems.

27 October, 2022 - After numerous realized lighting projects all over Europe, in the previous period, we also got a possibility to strengthen our cooperation with the company Cleangrad in Slovenia, which is specialized in the production of clean rooms and related equipment. Besides collaboration in the production and supply of luminaires for their clean rooms, BUCK lighting also had the opportunity to participate, together with the architectural office "Biro Biro", in the realization of their new office building project Cleangrad. The new modern architectural facility, intended as a pleasant business environment for all employees, also required the most modern LED lighting for its premises. This time, in accordance with the already developed lighting solution, we used a combination of different types of dimmable LED luminaires. In this way, all the aesthetic and functional criteria provided for different spaces, such as offices, corridors, and common areas, were met. A reliable selection of modern design luminaires, with components and electrical components of the highest quality and high energy efficiency, perfectly complemented the new office space of our partners from the company Cleangrad, which has been successfully operating in the market for 20 years.
