LEDVANCE

What LEDVANCE does

LEDVANCE is a global lighting and renewable energy company headquartered in Garching bei München, Germany, founded in 2016 as a spin-off from OSRAM's conventional lamps business. The company operates three integrated business units — Professional Lighting (luminaires, lamps, LED strips, modules, drivers, and VIVARES DALI-based light management), Home Lighting (residential luminaires, ceiling fans, and SMART+ smart-home electronics), and Renewable Energy (TopCon bifacial photovoltaic panels, hybrid and microinverters, and high/low-voltage battery storage systems with integrated BMS). LEDVANCE also offers EV charging solutions through its PHASE EV line, including an 80-amp Level 2 commercial charger launched in North America in November 2025. The portfolio is anchored by sub-brands SMART+, VIVARES, SUN@HOME, EVERLOOP, PHASE EV, Loblicht, and VINTAGE EDITION 1906.

Underlying technology spans LED lighting and IoT integration (Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Bluetooth, and Matter protocol), proprietary photovoltaic technology (N-type TopCon bifacial panels with low degradation and high-temperature resilience), and power electronics including three-phase HV and single-phase LV hybrid inverters with AFCI safety functionality. The company employs 5,001–10,000 people and serves customers in more than 30 countries across Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and North America through localized regional websites, a professional lighting division, and a certified installer partner network for PV systems.

LEDVANCE generates revenue primarily through hardware sales across professional, residential, and renewable-energy channels, supplemented by professional services for project installations and a certified installer program (e.g., LEDVANCE PARTNER PROGRAM with ENERGETICA+ in Italy). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; professional and B2B pricing appears quote-based, while consumer pricing is distributed through regional e-commerce and retail. Strategic capital allocation in 2025 included the acquisition of Loblicht (January 2025, European premium designer lighting) and an increase in the stake in Purui Optoelectronics to nearly 36% (July 2025, LED value-chain vertical integration).
