Prolicht

What Prolicht does

PROLICHT GmbH is an Austrian architectural lighting manufacturer founded in 1993 and headquartered in Götzens, Tyrol. The company designs, engineers, and produces a portfolio of 35+ luminaire product families — including profile systems (2LOOK4, MINIMAL TRACK, CLICKTRACK), spotlights (SNOOKER, MECHANIQ, CENTRIQ), downlights (OIKO, GLORIOUS, SMOOTHY, DICE), acoustic lighting (ACOUSTIC, UNITY, JUST BLACK ACOUSTIC), and designer collaborations (CODE with Tom Dixon, HADI with Hadi Teherani) — together claiming 5+ billion configuration combinations across mounting types (recessed/trimless, surface, suspended, track, free-standing), colors (25 standard + 5 seasonal), optics, and finishes.

The company monetizes primarily through hardware sales of made-to-order luminaires (quote-based pricing, EXW terms, 30-day payment, no returns) plus a customization stream offering bespoke product development from sketch to CAD to prototype with 48-hour indicative pricing, and supplementary planning/consulting services for lighting design. Distribution combines a consultative enterprise field-sales force targeting architects, lighting designers, interior designers, and electricians with a self-service digital channel: a configurator with integrated real-time light calculation and the MYPROLICHT project-management platform for online ordering, documentation, and pricing.

PROLICHT serves retail (Dior, Rimowa, Valextra, Escada, La Samaritaine, Globus, Lago Shopping Center), hospitality (AC Hotel by Marriott, Horl 1993), education (Lycée Edward Steichen, Volksschule Schönwies), corporate (BYK Chemicals), and residential customers across 11 European countries, supported by participation in Light + Building, Milan Design Week, 3 Days of Design, and Fuorisalone. Recent strategic emphasis has been on digital: an AI-powered digital platform is announced for 2026 and a new 'Points, Lines & Shapes' portfolio logic reorganizes the catalog around compositional primitives.
