Light Projects

What Light Projects does

Light Projects Ltd is a London-based, privately held architectural and display lighting specialist founded in 1986. The company designs, manufactures, and supplies professional-grade LED lighting products for lighting designers, specifiers, architects, and end-clients across nine vertical markets: museums and galleries, heritage buildings, retail environments, bridges and infrastructure, hospitality venues (hotels and restaurants), underwater installations (pools and water features), places of worship, attractions/theme parks, and general architectural facades.

Its offering is structured as a hybrid proprietary-plus-distribution portfolio. On the proprietary side, Light Projects manufactures the LEDStar Ultimate range of LED spotlights (Mini/Midi/Maxi with custom RAL finishes), the LEDBar family of linear LED fixtures (Contour, QuadFlux RGBW, CrossFlux Tuneable White, TrueFlux Full Spectrum, and NanoFlux micro variants), the Infinity invisible and in-track lighting system (including Framing and GOBO variants), the MentorLED track spotlights (Soraa CC, Xicato Integral, 12V Magnetic/Electronic variants), Comfort Glow downlights, ArtLED spotlights, and fibre-optic systems. In parallel, the firm acts as exclusive UK distributor for WIBRE (German underwater and in-ground lighting), Tokistar (US-origin linear lighting systems), Norlys (Scandinavian outdoor lighting), Evica (gobo projectors), Acrilux (acrylic/polycarbonate globes), Fibre Lux (fibre-optic systems), and Francis (searchlights).

The business model is a specification-driven B2B go-to-market: products are quoted and specified into projects at the design stage, with pricing not publicly disclosed (it requires quotation). The firm sells direct to enterprise and professional buyers across the UK only, with no disclosed international footprint, no funding rounds, no parent entity, and 11–50 employees. Channel mix relies on the company website (product catalogue, project galleries, downloadable brochures/spec sheets) supported by a direct specification sales team. The firm is GDPR-compliant and publishes a circularity/manufacturing-ethos posture.
