The TRILUX Akademie has evolved into a leading educational institution for lighting professionals in Europe since its foundation in September 2011. Qualified specialists, comprehensive speaker seminars, and tailor-made educational formats for varied target groups enhance the bedrock of practical relevance framing the Akademie’s success.

Whether for planners, electrical wholesalers, trade professionals, or regulatory officials: The TRILUX Akademie tailors each of these parties, aiming on maximizing field practicality. The focus on specificity has expanded the range of seminars from fifteen in 2011 to over 160 seminars year to date in 2022. European Lighting Experts (ELE) qualified seminars are among the new opportunities we plan to provide in 2023 as we broaden the educational portfolio even further.

Strong formats 

From an overall overview into the smallest details

Thanks to the wide range of events, there is something available for every level of knowledge. The so-called theme days offer participants a comprehensive overview of a specific market topic. A great example of this is our most recent face-to-face theme day, the “Office of the Future”, which took place at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg (Austria) on 15 September 2022. In an inspiring atmosphere across all trades, around 50 participants could find out everything about innovative technologies, and potentials and challenges at the office of tomorrow.

Digital events such as the Planner Update or the E-craftsman Update are more technical. Every year, these free online events summarize the most important legal and technological changes in a compact way. They have been important events for many participants for many years due to their high utility value.

Light knowledge without borders

The internationalization strategy

Another important component of the success story is the internationalization strategy. Although physics and technology are not bound to national borders, each country has its own rules and customs for lighting. In order to serve the various markets individually, we opened new branches at various locations in Europe from 2015.

In addition to its headquarters in Arnsberg, the TRILUX Akademie can be found at eleven other locations throughout Europe, e.g. BENELUX (Amersfoort, Mechelen and Namur), in Great Britain (Chelmsford), UAE (Dubai), Austria (Vienna), Switzerland (Spreitbach), France (Entzheim), Spain (Zaragoza), Poland (Warsaw) and in Cologne (for all retail-related topics). In the context of exemplary lighting solutions, we say: “As much practice as possible, as much theory as necessary.”

TRILUX lighting practice

Cutting-edge lighting knowledge for everyone

"With our expanding training offers, we ensure that lighting professionals always stay up to date in an extremely dynamic market with innovative and disruptive technologies," explains Heiner Hans (Head of the TRILUX Akademie). In order to provide maximum support for self-learners, the TRILUX lighting practice for indoor areas has been extensively revised and updated.

The well-known reference work covers the entire practice-relevant specialist knowledge for the planning, installation and operation of lighting systems. The new edition is available either as a free PDF-download or as a printed reference work for all participants of multi-day courses at the TRILUX Akademie.
