Interview with Dario Buzzi, President & CEO of Buzzi & Buzzi.

Easy Engineering: What are the main areas of activity of the company?

Dario Buzzi: Their main areas of activity include:

We have a wide range of lighting solutions for residential spaces, including living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens. Our designs focus on creating a comfortable atmosphere while providing functional lighting.

Commercial lighting for commercial spaces such as offices, hotels, and retail stores. The focus is on enhancing the ambiance and functionality of these spaces.

Outdoor lighting: for spaces such as gardens to enhance their beauty and safety.

We also offer custom lighting solutions for clients who require unique and personalized lighting designs for their spaces.

E.E: What’s the news about new products?

D.B: Since the products are obtained from solid material, they allow for a very high dissipating mass, which means that the miniaturized products are very powerful in terms of luminosity.

We have also expanded the Genius family with new dim-to-warm and tunable white variants. The latter model is able to faithfully reproduce the circadian rhythm, which is a physiological rhythm characterized by a period of about 24 hours in chronobiology and chronopsychology.

The Genius tunable white product allows for reproducing the natural color of the sun during the day, creating a kind of complex “internal clock” in the body that stays synchronized with the natural cycle of day and night through natural stimuli such as sunlight and ambient temperature.”

In the last 4 years, our company has invested in research and development of a new line called the Iron Line. These are miniaturized products, obtained from solid, with 48V nano tracks with high chromatic yield and luminous efficiency

E.E: What are the ranges of products?

Dario Buzzi: We collaborate with the best international architects and have developed a complete line of indoor and outdoor products, which come in both recessed and surface-mounted versions. These lines meet the most restrictive international regulations, allowing us to certify our collections according to American, European, Russian, and Australian international standards.

E.E: At what stage is the market where you are currently active?

Dario Buzzi: The miniaturization of native LED products and investments in patented products such as Aircoral and Durcoral represent Buzzi & Buzzi’s technological mission for better air quality.

Aircoral is a purification material, recognised for the efficiency by Manchester university, that we have designed and manufactured.

We use patented technology that combines light and air to purify indoor environments, removing pollutants and allergens from the air.

The system works by creating a photocatalytic reaction, which breaks down the pollutants and turns them into harmless substances, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.

The system is designed to be both effective and aesthetically pleasing, featuring stylish designs that blend in with modern interior decor. These systems are suitable for a variety of environments, including homes, offices, schools, and healthcare facilities.

E.E: What can you tell us about market trends?

D.B: The world of residential lighting is undergoing rapid evolution thanks to technological innovation and growing awareness of the importance of lighting for people’s health and well-being. Below I list some trends that could characterize the world of residential lighting in the coming years:

LED lighting: LED lighting is already widespread in homes and residential buildings, but technology will continue to evolve to offer ever more efficient and customizable lamps.

Smart lighting: smart technology will continue to revolutionize our world. The lights could be controlled by smartphones or voice assistants, and equipped with motion and light sensors to automatically adjust the brightness according to the user’s needs. 

Buzzi & Buzzi already offers multiple solutions as dali, lutron creston protocol dimming, we are also ready for Casambi and trailing and leading edge dimming.

Full Spectrum Lighting: which mimics natural sunlight and can improve people’s health and well-being.

Buzzi & Buzzi Genius dim to warm and tunable white concerning circadian circle are the best representative examples.

This type of lighting could therefore become increasingly popular in homes and residential buildings.

Decorative lighting: lamps and sconces will increasingly become an element of decoration for homes, and could be chosen for just their aesthetics.

Sustainable lighting: growing concern for the environment could push lamp and luminaire manufacturers to look for more sustainable solutions.

Buzzi & Buzzi is Reach recognized, Aircoral, certified by Manchester university and , such as the use of recyclable materials and the adoption of low energy consumption technologies.

The most significant innovations in the lighting world in recent years have been the continuous upgrade of LED performance, reaching lumen per watt values that were unimaginable until a few years ago:

Buzzi & Buzzi uses the best-in-class LED brands such as Seoul, Citizen, and Bridgelux. Additionally, home automation has become a predominant topic in the energy consumption of “smart homes”. Buzzi & Buzzi is capable of offering any smart solution that is compatible with Android, iOS, Alexa, Casambi, Lutron, Crestron, and DALI, just to name a few.

E.E: What estimations do you have for 2023?

D.B: “There are many factors that can influence the growth of the European lighting market, such as technological innovation, consumer demand, environmental policies, and competition among companies.

Our company, with its presence at trade shows such as Euroloce Milan, Light and Building Frankfurt, SDA New York, and Light Spec West Los Angeles, renews its continuous trust in a market that is vibrant and constantly evolving. We anticipate a continued evolutionary growth in the lumen-watt efficiency of LEDs in the coming years, as well as an increasing application of smart logic in light management.
