What SANlight does

SANlight GmbH is an Austrian LED horticulture lighting manufacturer headquartered in Schruns, Vorarlberg. The company designs, develops, and produces LED luminaire systems optimized for plant cultivation in controlled environments, including professional indoor horticulture, greenhouses, vertical farms, and home/hobby growing setups. Its core technology portfolio centers on broadband full-spectrum light with optimized Far Red to Red ratios for photo-morphogenesis, asymmetric secondary optics for homogeneous photon distribution, IP65/IP68 sealed housings, and a modular Smart Driver architecture marketed as the world's first to enable multi-luminaire operation from a single driver. Component sourcing relies on Seoul Semiconductor's patented WICOP white LEDs and Osram Oslon Square LEDs.

The product line spans the EVO-Series (flagship professional luminaires exceeding 3 µmol/J efficiency), the EVO COMPACT-Series (greenhouse-specific 360W-1230W units), the STIXX-Series (undercanopy and toplight luminaires with Cree LED J Series integration under a December 2025 partnership), the FLEX II-Series (linear interlighting), and the compact STIXX 50. In January 2025, SANlight launched the HOMEbox CLUB, a turnkey plug-and-play indoor cultivation chamber for German Cannabis Social Clubs. All manufacturing is conducted in-house at the Vorarlberg facility, supported by an in-house cultivation laboratory and integrating sphere calibration for precise PPF measurement.

Commercially, SANlight operates a hybrid distribution model: an e-commerce storefront at sanlight.com serving direct home/hobby customers, and a network of 350+ authorized dealers across 25+ countries (anchored in Germany, Austria, France, and Switzerland) serving commercial growers. Direct B2B consultation, on-site project planning, and modular upgrade/trade-in services for legacy Q-Series luminaires round out the offer. The company is privately held, bootstrapped (no disclosed funding rounds), 11-50 employees, and reports no public financials.
