The three pillars of our sustainability strategy Lightnet designs and produces professional architectural lighting to improve people’s everyday lives, inspire them and enhance their wellbeing. More than 600 employees at seven locations worldwide are united by the goal of inspiring their customers. We value sustainability and the conservation of resources and use our own LED technology. We produce all our products ourselves without exception and have a comprehensive in-house manufacturing depth, which enables us to produce almost all components for our luminaires – from raw PCBs and optical components...

Redefining light Our research and development department works tirelessly to develop groundbreaking technologies and designs that not only meet current requirements but also anticipate future needs. We aim to create lighting solutions that enhance everyday life, combining efficiency with sustainability to ensure lasting value. Each new product stands as a testament to our commitment to progress and responsibility. Sustainability through innovation We strive to maximise the efficiency of our products and minimise their environmental impact through innovative approaches and creative solutions....

100% in-house production High-tech manufacturing with a high level of vertical integration We produce all of our products ourselves, without exception, and have a comprehensive in-house manufacturing depth that allows us to produce almost all components for our luminaires – from raw circuit boards and optical components to surface finishing and final assembly. This is how we ensure that not only each component, but also the entire manufacturing process, meets our requirements for maximum sustainable production. With this in mind, we continuously examine and optimise our production. This approach...

100% intelligent on-demand production Photo by Igor Lepilin on unsplash.com Traditional warehousing of finished products and assemblies not only ties up capital and thus entre-preneurial flexibility - above all, it is not sustainable. Finally, stockpiling, in addition to energy consumption, is automatically associated with inaccurate demand planning or unnecessary (excess) inventories. This is why we have maximised the degree of order-related flexibility to such an extent that we only produce when the order is placed. The ordered product is then fully produced in the shortest possible time, including...

Global average: Aluminium is 100% recyclable, but its production is very energy-intensive. It is therefore important that it is produced using renewable energy sources and recycled after use. When selecting our suppliers, we pay attention to the use of climate-friendly raw materials and renewable energies. As a result of this and the continuous improvement of our internal processes and procedures, the manufacturers we select are able to offer aluminium that is produced with the lowest possible emissions and thus demonstrably leaves a much smaller ecological footprint than the market average....

100% recycable packaging materials with 100% local recycling Plastic-free packaging Complete circular economy Packaging protects our products from external influences and helps to ensure that they reach our customers undamaged. We produce our packaging ourselves and on demand – every piece of waste is processed directly into pulp. And this is used to create new packaging parts. 0% waste with 100% local recycling. Our packaging is made entirely of cardboard, with no polystyrene inserts or plastic wrapping *. In 2023 and 2024, we produced 100% of the recyclable packaging materials at our production...

100% Human Centric Lighting Sustainable design Human Centric Lighting (HCL) is a lighting technology that aims to improve people’s well-being and performance by adapting the light spectrum to the natural circadian rhythm. By taking into account light intensity, colour temperature and mood throughout the day, HCL can increase concentration, regulate sleep-wake cycles and promote general well-being. This innovative technology ensures an optimal lighting environment in offices, educational and healthcare facilities. Eco-design is a key aspect of our product development. Our products can be dismantled...

Energy efficiency redefined Luminaires with top performance Our luminaires impress with their outstanding energy efficiency and a light output of at least 120 lm/W (from catalogue 2025). This high level of efficiency means that we achieve impressive brightness with less energy, which is both environmentally friendly and cost-saving. Thanks to the latest LED technology and well-thought-out design, our luminaires not only provide optimal illumination, but also actively contribute to reducing energy consumption. The use of high-quality materials and innovative manufacturing techniques ensures a...
