What Aurora Lighting does

Aurora Lighting UK Limited is a vertically integrated B2B manufacturer of LED lighting solutions headquartered in Welwyn Garden City, England. Founded in 1999 and acquired by the Galaed Group in late 2022, the company operates across all four elements of LED lighting — power, control, lamps, and luminaires — under a four-brand portfolio: Aurora (primary lighting brand), Europole (architectural lighting), Enlite (indoor and outdoor solutions), and Seren (EV chargers). The company employs 101–250 staff and serves electrical contractors, specifiers, architects, lighting consultants, property developers, and facility managers across the UK and Ireland through a wholesale distribution network of more than 800 stockists, supplemented by regional Area Sales Managers and direct project/specification engagement.

The product portfolio spans fire-rated downlights (R6 and EFDPro ranges featuring FastRFix and ThermoTec technologies), commercial panels (EdgeLite Pro at up to 130 lm/W, BackLite), linear luminaires (BatPacCWS at up to 150 lm/W, Arroline, LinearPac anti-corrosives), floodlights (Proxima, Song up to 800W, Camus), LED strips, emergency lighting, smart lighting platforms (AOne BLE app and ASmart driven by Casambi), and EV chargers. Construction emphasises high-grade polycarbonate across Good and Better tiers, with colour- and wattage-switchable variants and integrations including Bluetooth, Casambi, PIR, and microwave sensors. Certifications and memberships include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, RoHS, WEEE, Ecovadis, ECA, LIA, Relux, E-DATA, and CIBSE-accredited CPD programmes.

Revenue is generated through B2B hardware sales to wholesalers and specification-driven sales to commercial projects, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Value-add services include a dedicated lighting design consultancy and CIBSE-accredited CPD seminars. Reference customers span retail (Smyths Toys, Clarke's Spar, Chantry Place), hospitality (Clayton Hotel Belfast, Bellaghys Taphouse), automotive retail (Charles Hurst Ferrari Belfast), commercial real estate (Belfast Office Complex), and high-end residential (Griffith Wood Dublin apartments), indicating breadth across enterprise and mid-market segments.
