Founded in 2006, B2 brought together young engineers in the fields of lighting, electricity, and IT to introduce digitally control-based lighting solutions to the domestic lighting engineering market for the first time with 'Lighting management' as their vision. This brought about a new change in the domestic lighting market, which was like a wasteland at the time. Since then, we have successfully carried out various lighting projects at home and abroad and have developed into a leading company in the field of lighting engineering in Korea. Today, we are fully equipped with all corporate infrastructures from development to production and construction, and we are strengthening our position as a more professional and responsible lighting engineering company.
Perspectives on Engineering, Lighting, and Architecture
B2 is a company that aims for more innovative and professional lighting engineering.
The lighting solutions that B2 pursues are not static, but are lighting that pursues a lot of diversity and variation.
We are adding to perfection through the success of Archion, Korea's unique architectural lighting brand.
B2 comes from the word 'Bus Communication', which stands for digital network. In fact, the core of the system that B2 is building is this 'Bus Network'. What's interesting is that each device connected to this bus network performs its function in interaction with other devices. It's similar to the relationship between people and between businesses. In this relationship, B2 aims to grow and develop together through good interaction with all stakeholders.
All of Archion's lighting products undergo a systematic mock-up testing process for the actual environment in which they will be used. Through this process, we minimize the risk of possible consequences and find the lighting solution that best matches the designer's intention. Movable ceilings, a grid wall, a screen wall, and other environmental features and optical measuring equipment are provided to enable detailed and practical project discussions with designers. LIGHT LAB is an open laboratory where any lighting designer can put their intentions to life.
Each expert comes together to design lighting from an electrical/physical/optical perspective. The R&D team aims to develop products with clear electrical, physical, and optical characteristics. The Archion brand P, L, and M series are the result of his research, and the products of each series can be selected according to the building environment. Additionally, the type of light supply can be selected according to the built environment, and other types of light distribution can be obtained with easy operation. Furthermore, we conduct research and development to realize the creative ideas of lighting designers when designing architectural lighting. These include glare control for anti-glare and wireless communication control, and all these interactions with lighting designers accelerate the development of our new products. We are also working on research and development in the control part of lighting products. In addition to the development of our own drivers consisting of Auto Addressing and DMX/RDM communication standards, various methods of communication and control are designed in consideration of a diversity of project environments.
By building a large GONIOPHOTOMETER that can perfectly measure the light distribution data of a 2M-long luminaire and a perfect darkroom environment, the optical data of all Archion products is stored in IES files. In addition, we are also able to measure the light distribution of customized products that are specially produced according to the nature of the project, enabling accurate simulation through programs such as RELUX and DIALUX.
We also perfect our products through direct manufacturing. We are building a production environment that enables perfection and mass production by continuously introducing and expanding the manufacturing facilities and measuring equipment necessary to produce perfect products. Additionally, we have also established a perfect production management environment by acquiring KS certification for façade lighting and interior lighting fixtures and ISO 9001 certification for quality management system.
The system has been computerized for systematic logistics and inventory management, and an independent logistics warehouse environment has been established to enable faster and more accurate product shipments. In addition, all Archion products are given a unique number and traceability is managed by BAR CODE to increase the reliability of product quality control.
