CDm2 LIGHTWORKS is proud to announce a new partnership with Cence Power, a leader in low-voltage direct current (DC) power distribution. This collaboration uniquely positions CDm2 to offer a fully integrated package of DC to DC lighting, controls, and power for architects, engineers, and developers seeking sustainable, high-performance building solutions.
By distributing electricity at 48 volts DC, Cence Power’s systems eliminate inefficient AC-to-DC conversions – one of the biggest hidden losses in traditional AC input lighting. According to industry studies, this shift can yield 10–20% energy savings while improving safety, simplifying installation, and reducing failure points. The outcomes of DC lighting include lower operating costs and greater design flexibility for specifiers.
For clients pursuing LEED or net-zero goals, DC lighting supports energy efficiency, improved occupant comfort, reduced materials use, and innovation credits contributing to higher-performing, certification-ready projects.
“This collaboration equips our clients with solutions that combine efficiency, safety, and sustainability,” says Darren Luce, President of CDm2 LIGHTWORKS. “By integrating Cence Power with world-class lighting and controls, we’re helping project teams achieve performance goals and certification targets with confidence.”
“We’re excited to introduce Cence Power to the CDm2 line card. It’s a fresh take on how power is delivered to lighting and controls — centralized, low-voltage, and more efficient than traditional AC systems. We’ve designed it to simplify installations, reduce energy waste, and give you greater flexibility across the board. Looking forward to showing you what it can do,” says Bolis Ibrahim, President, Cence Power.
