One of Europe’s largest office products manufacturers, DURABLE began manufacturing in Germany in 1920. The company now has presence in 80 countries, including its UK headquarters that has experienced significant growth since its inception in 1980. They have since become known as pioneers in developing and producing office supplies. Creative conception combined with continual focus on innovation, quality and design have always played a major role in our corporate philosophy – critical factors that determine the success and future viability of any company in today's competitive marketplace.

Leveraging these core values, DURABLE has spent a lot of time researching, designing and manufacturing its new human centric task light LUCTRA® at the company’s head office in Germany. Based in Iserlohn, the office is in an area of excellence for lighting and places DURABLE in the perfect position to enter this market.

LUCTRA® is a revolutionary LED lighting range scientifically proven to enhance wellbeing and productivity within the workplace by harnessing the biological effect of light. LUCTRA® uses the highest grade of materials and is designed in conjunction with the latest scientific research.

The LUCTRA® range is able to grace a multitude of environments such as desks in the workplace and home, in public spaces or even health care settings. The range, endorsed by Dr Dieter Kunz, an expert in the importance of lighting for health, features superior quality cold white and warm white LEDs that produce an illuminance of up to 1,000 lux. As well as offering an impressive Kelvin level between 2,700K and 6,500K, LUCTRA® provides an intensity and colour that closely replicates daylight.

The natural colour of daylight stimulates the production of melatonin and serotonin that controls the circadian rhythm in the human brain. Lack of exposure to daylight can result in symptoms such as fatigue and at worst, depression, therefore the light colour provided by the LUCTRA® family of lamps are able to remedy this deficit by helping to stabilise the human biorhythm, ensuring individuals are able to sleep well and feel more rested when carrying out their daily tasks.
