What Liteplan does

Liteplan Ltd is a UK-based, privately held manufacturer of emergency lighting components, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Romford, Essex. The company designs and produces emergency lighting conversion kits (integral and remote), dedicated emergency LED modules (LED/43, LED/44 Dimming Halo, LED/45 Universal, LED/19/90, MinEM strip), control gear drivers (DALI-2 self-test, basic non-maintained, central battery), LiFePO4 batteries, exit signs, bulkheads, and twinspots. Its core technology is centered on lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery chemistry, offering double the operational life of traditional NiCd batteries, 5% monthly self-discharge, and — as of 25 June 2025 — temperature monitoring per BS EN 61347-2-7 across the entire battery range. The portfolio includes the proprietary LiteMesh wireless monitoring system operating on a 2.4GHz secure mesh topology, with Cloud and Local deployment variants, plus the Monitor and Monitor PRO wired DALI systems, and is interoperable with MyMesh and Casambi wireless ecosystems.

Liteplan operates exclusively as an OEM supplier to lighting manufacturers, with no direct-to-end-user or distributor channel. Commercial engagement occurs at Director level, with bespoke customer-specific product designs handled under strict project confidentiality. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of components and conversion kits, supplemented by professional services for bespoke OEM designs and by the wireless monitoring platform (hardware + LiteMesh-Cloud/Local software). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. End-verticals served include hospitality, healthcare, education, retail, industrial, and commercial buildings. The company holds ISO 9001, BSI Kitemark, ICEL, DALI-2 Alliance, CE, and UKCA certifications, and self-describes as the UK's largest privately owned emergency lighting component supplier, with key staff holding 30+ years of category experience. Geographic operations are officially UK-domiciled, with international visibility limited to a single Light + Building 2024 trade show appearance.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Tamlite: UK-based luminaire manufacturer whose portfolio includes emergency conversion and DALI-compatible luminaires. Same geography, similar regulatory environment, but a broader luminaire focus rather than dedicated emergency components.

Broad incumbents

• Legrand: Global electrical and digital building infrastructure major offering emergency lighting systems and BMS integration. Larger and more diversified, with overlapping OEM and specification-grade presence in the UK.
• Thorn Lighting: European lighting brand (Zumtobel Group) with an emergency luminaires range and BMS integration. Competes with Liteplan's OEM customers in specification-stage projects across the UK and Europe.
• Zumtobel Group: Austrian lighting group and parent of Tridonic, with Thorn and Zumtobel brand luminaires that include emergency product lines. Competes indirectly through OEM customers and directly through its owned luminaire brands.
• ABB: Global electrification and automation major with emergency lighting solutions for commercial and industrial buildings. Sells via different channels but competes for the same end-project specifications Liteplan's OEM customers serve.
• Signify (Philips Lighting): Global lighting major whose Philips portfolio includes emergency luminaires, drivers and monitoring systems sold via both OEM and end-customer channels - overlaps Litepan's products but as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Eaton: Power management major with a dedicated lighting and emergency luminaires portfolio. Adjacent in BMS integration and central battery systems, competing for the same commercial/industrial specifications.

Direct peers

• Mackwell: UK-based specialist in emergency lighting drivers, conversion kits and wireless monitoring, serving OEMs with a comparable product mix and the same DALI-2 / ICEL regulatory posture - the most direct competitor to Liteplan.
• Helvar: Finnish lighting controls and emergency lighting components manufacturer serving OEM luminaire customers in Europe. Comparable mix of DALI-2 drivers, wireless controls and emergency conversion modules.
• Tridonic (Zumtobel Group): Global leader in LED drivers and emergency lighting control gear sold to luminaire OEMs. Direct overlap in DALI-2 emergency drivers and conversion kits, but with substantially larger R&D and geographic reach.
