Zumtobel CRAFT II: The Unbeatable Powerhouse That Lasts
The CRAFT II product family offers robust and intelligent LED luminaires designed for demanding environments, combining advanced technology with energy efficiency and durability.
CRAFT II Plus: The Unbeatable Powerhouse
The CRAFT II plus is manufactured using an aluminum die-casting process, featuring a one-piece protective shield. It is characterized by its resistance and revolutionary thermal management, performing exceptionally even in challenging environments with extreme mechanical or chemical loads. Its design ensures durability and longevity, even in high ambient temperatures (up to 70°C) for at least 100,000 hours.
CRAFT II Performance: The Robust Lightweight
The CRAFT II performance is durably produced and powerful in action, housed in a lightweight yet robust sheet steel enclosure. It is a highly efficient luminaire for high spaces, versatile in its application thanks to six different light distribution curves. The enclosure is produced with zero carbon emissions and is "Made in Germany".
Engineered for Challenging Environments
CRAFT II represents the first generation of Zumtobel high-bay luminaires based on the platform principle. It's not a static, self-contained solution, but a tailor-made system offering maximum power and perfect adaptation to the specific requirements of the respective business.
Revolutionary Thermal Management
The CRAFT II plus utilizes two physical principles simultaneously for cooling and cleaning: the Venturi and Coandă effects. This innovative high-bay luminaire distinguishes itself from its predecessors and withstands high ambient temperatures (up to 70°C) throughout its entire lifespan of at least 100,000 hours. It achieves this through an intelligent interplay of air pressure, air speed, and air temperature, supported by an aluminum housing that conducts heat exceptionally well.
- Self-cleaning thanks to the Coandă effect: The Coandă effect, a principle from aviation, is applied to the CRAFT II plus. A pressure imbalance forces the airflow against the curved surface of the luminaire, efficiently cooling the LED boards. The airflow also removes normal dust from the luminaire's surface.
- Efficient cooling thanks to the Venturi effect: Specially designed nozzles in the CRAFT II frame generate a vacuum, causing air to circulate at high speed between the LED control units and LED boards. This Venturi effect cools the CRAFT II efficiently, enabling the powerful luminaire to operate even at extremely high ambient temperatures.
Robust Powerhouse Technology
The CRAFT II is designed for extreme conditions, whether in heavy industry, agriculture, swimming pools, or sports halls, where chemical and mechanical stresses are high. Its robust aluminum housing and impact-resistant, glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide cover for electronic components ensure durability. The diffusers are also resistant to chemical and mechanical loads.
Key components include:
- Housing: Impact and corrosion-resistant aluminum housing with 80% lower copper content, powder-coated for exceptional surface hardness and maximum protection in demanding environments.
- LED boards: Designed for a very long lifespan with high-quality LED chips, offering increased resistance to moisture, temperature, and chemicals.
- Diffusers: Resistant to chemical influences and mechanical loads, available in polycarbonate, PMMA, or CHEMO.
- Frame: A solid frame made of the same material as the housing protects key internal components and ensures optimal protection of sealing elements.
- LED control unit: Specially developed industrial LED control unit for CRAFT II, offering enhanced safety through robust design and extensive testing under extreme conditions, and high reliability due to the selection of high-quality components.
- Connectivity and Sensors: Various sensor options are available for maximum comfort and efficiency, including microwave sensors for presence detection and daylight sensors. All variants can be controlled wirelessly or via DALI. IoT integration is also possible.
- Cover for electronic components: Impact-resistant and corrosion-resistant, made of glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide, ensuring optimal transmission of radio waves from Bluetooth® devices and sensors.
Intelligent and Well-Protected
The new generation of CRAFT II luminaires offers multiple possibilities for energy savings through presence and daylight control. They are suitable for both new constructions and renovation projects, offering cost savings and wireless options. Luminaires and sensors can be wirelessly integrated, grouped, and controlled, with seamless integration into the Internet of Things (IoT) via easily installed IoT modules.
Energy Saving Opportunities
- Daylight and presence-dependent dimming: Central control with Application Controller (e.g., LITECOM) or wireless basicDIM Wireless control (PIRBC). Stand-alone control with IR remote control (PIRILD) is also available.
- Presence-dependent dimming: Wireless basicDIM Wireless control (MWDABC) or optional master-slave switching (MWS) without light management.
- Dimming: Wireless basicDIM Wireless control (BC) or central control (LDO).
- On/Off: Without light management (Refurbishment LED).
These solutions can achieve significant energy savings, up to 85% with central control, 70% with presence-dependent dimming, 60% with dimming, and 50% with on/off functionality.
CRAFT Protection Shield: One-Piece Protection
The CRAFT PROTECTION SHIELD (CPS) is a protective shield designed for demanding industrial environments. Available in aluminum or sheet steel, the housing is manufactured from a single piece, ensuring that sensitive components like sensors and IoT technology are fully covered and protected from water ingress.
Unlike conventional high-bay luminaires where screws on the top can allow moisture and chemicals to penetrate, the CRAFT II's screw connections are located on the underside and are completely covered by the innovative CPS. This provides maximum protection, even under maximum water pressure.
High-Pressure Cleaning Ready
The attractive design with smooth surfaces and rounded corners of the CRAFT II product family minimizes cleaning effort. The smooth surface of the CRAFT II performance and the ample spacing between the ribs on the CRAFT II plus make manual cleaning easier. All CRAFT II luminaires are supplied with IP66 water-tightness class as standard. For high-pressure cleaning, the CRAFT II plus can be optionally supplied with IP69 protection via myCRAFT II, thanks to the CRAFT PROTECTION SHIELD and an innovative sealing system.

| Protection Class | IP66 | IP66 (IP69 via myCRAFT II) |
Light Quality from Zumtobel
The CRAFT II product family benefits from the extensive project experience and deep lighting expertise of the Zumtobel Group. The optics engineers have recreated a natural phenomenon called Total Internal Reflection (TIR). Transparent, laser-structured lenses with micro-metrically small, diagonal dome structures reflect all light like a mirror, ensuring optimal and highly efficient light distribution within the space.
Light Distribution Options:
- Wide Beam (WB)
- Wide Beam Controlled Glare (WBCG)
- Very Wide Beam (VWB)
- Narrow Beam (NB)
- Narrow Beam Controlled Glare (NBCG)
- Extrem Narrow Beam (XNB)
- Asymmetric Beam (AB)
Controlled Glare Optics
For situations where glare is a concern, such as in logistics or sports facilities where people look upwards, Zumtobel offers an innovative "controlled glare" optics. An integrated grid complements the optics of the CRAFT II performance and CRAFT II plus luminaires, creating two additional light distribution options: "narrow beam controlled glare" and "wide beam controlled glare". These effectively minimize glare, achieving UGR<19.
Designed for Circular Product Cycles and Sustainable Growth
Holistic sustainability is deeply embedded in the DNA of CRAFT II, thanks to the Zumtobel Circular Design Rules (CDR). Developed for the circular economy, CRAFT II is built for the demands of tomorrow and beyond. It is particularly attractive for buildings adhering to green building standards, as measuring sustainability is key to improving it.
Zumtobel Circular Design Rules (CDR)
Initiated in collaboration with the consulting institute EPEA Switzerland and the design studio EOOS, the CDR have been further developed within the company and integrated into the product development process. They set new standards for circular entrepreneurship, from sustainable procurement processes to innovative product design and smart systems for maintenance, remanufacturing, and recycling – a well-thought-out concept for a circular economy.
Six Criteria. A Clear Vision.
