June 15, 2022 - On June 1, we participated in the MPS100 EXPO conference, which aimed to point out the development potential of the domestic economy embodied through the experiences of carefully selected, leading small and medium enterprises, including BUCK lighting.

Many interesting topics were covered in the panel discussion, among which we would single out: Capacity building, technological and "green" transformation, Availability of qualified human resources and Increasing and diversifying access to finance.

This time, the CEVES organization, in cooperation with the MIND Park, gathered great speakers and enabled the exchange of ideas and experiences while at the same time drawing attention to the potential of the domestic economy.

May 30, 2022 - Our engagement in tunnel lighting projects in Austria continues. On this occasion, we illuminated the Katschberg tunnel, located on the Tauern highway section between the Flachauwinkel and Rennweg junctions. The Tauren (A10) highway is an essential north-south transversal in the Alps, and the tunnel itself is 5,898 m long.

To meet the requirements of the investor, the company ASFINAG, it was necessary to adjust the LED lighting for the existing housings, which are not of standard dimensions. By analyzing all requirements, BUCK has come up with an original solution - SDi system for remote control of luminaire power (SDi - discrete time coded 230 V Step-Dim-interface), which allows dimming control to be performed using a single-phase cable from an existing installation. This way, the signal can be transmitted over long distances without loss.

INSERT ASF 3 SYM 118W and INSERT ASF 4 SYM 158W were used in the realization of this project. Our research and development department is working tirelessly on new solutions that would meet our clients' requirements. We are proud of the simplicity and efficiency of the SDi system, and we expect its implementation in new projects.

April 19, 2022 - Tunnel lighting is one of the most demanding branches of the lighting industry. Various challenges, such as the harsh environment, the need for a longer luminaire life span and the ease of installation and servicing, are present at the same time.

Tunnel projects have been our focus for a long time, and we can proudly say that we continue our cooperation with the Austrian company ASFINAG. Our LED lighting solutions have met all quality and safety requirements on the new Großliedl und Übelskogel (A2GLÜK) tunnel projects.

The application of the latest achievements in the production of LED tunnel lighting and the replacement of existing fixtures with obsolete light sources, in addition to great savings in electricity consumption and significantly reduced maintenance costs, represents a huge contribution to reducing CO2 emissions and environmental pollution. The specificity of this project is reflected in the fact that this was the first project of the so-called circular economy where ASFINAG housings with a long service life of 30 years were used.

March 24, 2022 - The first spring days at Buck were marked by participation in the Italian Design Days, within the organization of Confindustria Serbia, the Italian Embassy in Belgrade and the Italian Cultural Center. This sixth manifestation was held on March 23, at the Museum of Applied Arts in Belgrade. In addition to our company, the following companies were also among exhibitors: ARTEFACTO, LUSSO DESIGN, BERLIGHT, as well as the light studio ARTEMIDE.

The theme of the event was the impact of lighting on human well-being. Our slogan was "Light for a better life". BUCK lighting has found its place in the Italian Design Days, even though it is a Serbian company, primarily as an example of good domestic practice. Membership in the Confindustria, as well as numerous projects done in Italy, were as well some of the motives for our participation. Darko Budeč was among the speakers in the panel discussion where he presented the lighting industry's tendencies and the impact they have on people's health and daily life.

As part of this event, we exhibited the E2 floor luminaire, for ambient interior lighting, the freestanding ARIA SMART HCL luminaire, intended for the lighting of workspaces, as well as the suitcase with optical exhibits.

March 2, 2022 - There are some good news from our office in Moscow. Our office lighting project made for the company FONBET was among the finalists within the nomination "New office space".

In February 2022, the fifth jubilee award ceremony was held as part of this event, of which we have been members since its founding. This year, the event was organized both live and online within a virtual platform on which it was possible to monitor the content of participants. The companies could present their products and services within their virtual stand. A special place in the business program was given to the presentation of our colleagues from Moscow on "Lighting: What to consider when choosing equipment". The presentation pointed out the technical elements that, in addition to the design itself, are necessary to pay attention to when designing lighting.

Given the long tradition of successful office lighting projects BUCK has in Russia, we are proud that our project is once again among the finalists of such an important event.
