What Heper does

Heper (HEPER) is a Turkey-based outdoor lighting manufacturer founded in 1994 and headquartered in Ankara (operating legal entity HPR Pazarlama A.Ş., associated with Moonlight Lighting Industry and Trade JSC / Moonlight Aydınlatma A.Ş.). The company designs and manufactures LED outdoor luminaires across a broad portfolio spanning architectural and landscape categories (light columns, bollards, pole-top luminaires, projectors and floodlights, in-ground, wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, and handrail luminaires) and technical categories (tunnel lighting and catenary luminaires), plus complementary aluminum poles and accessories. Its core technology is LED lighting with advanced optical systems tuned to specific applications, including specialized tunnel optics for different tunnel zones (counter-beam and asymmetric types) and its AreaFlex LED module for customizable distributions.

Heper serves a B2B customer base of architectural firms, municipalities, government agencies, and commercial developers, addressing use cases from small residential installations to large infrastructure projects such as tunnel and highway lighting. It differentiates through domain specialization (100+ completed tunnel projects), sustainability certifications (DarkSky Approved and Turtle Friendly amber-LED products), and vertically integrated manufacturing in Turkey powered by rooftop solar. Named projects include the North Marmara Highway Tunnels, Perth Museum, LSE Cascade Park, Central Boulevard Towers (Singapore), Municipality of Zaanstad, Lumen Field, and Microsoft's Redmond campus.

The business model is hardware sales through a project-based, quote-driven motion. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined via direct consultation, with a 5-year extended warranty offered. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise/field sales via regional offices (Turkey HQ, Germany, USA, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Lebanon), an authorized distributor network, and self-serve tools such as an online product finder and a DIALux design plugin (partner since 2017). The company is private with no disclosed external investment, operating through wholly owned regional subsidiaries.
