What Lited does

Lited SAS is a privately held French B2B manufacturer and distributor of intelligent LED lighting solutions, headquartered in Nanterre with a French assembly workshop in Balma operational since 2014. The company sells exclusively to professional clients — architects, engineering firms, installers, distributors, and lighting designers — across three vertical universes: tertiary/professional offices (the primary segment), retail/CHR, and industrial sites. Its catalog spans 13 product categories covering interior luminaires (downlights such as LUCAS, panels such as AZURE, industrial high-bays such as SOLEM, waterproof fixtures such as BALDER, suspensions, linear fixtures, LED strips) and exterior luminaires (APOLED projectors, bollards, wall lights, pole heads, tubular fixtures such as TUBI). Core technology is LED lighting combined with smart management systems — DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) wired protocols and 2.4GHz wireless solutions (Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiFi) — with circadian and Daylite variants for well-being applications and ATEX, HACCP, and CIVC-certified models for hazardous, food, and viticultural environments.

The business model blends catalog hardware sales with fully bespoke luminaire engineering enabled by an in-house design bureau (Dialux EVO photometric studies, 3D visualization) and the Balma workshop, which performs custom cutting, driver calibration, and system integration. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; catalog products are sold through a registered B2B platform at shop.lited-led.com with a €350 HT minimum order, while custom products are quote-based, often under multi-year project contracts and frequently eligible for French CEE (Certificats d'Économies d'Énergie) subsidies. Distribution is dual: a direct enterprise sales team complemented by certified installation partners (e.g., LUMIDOC, ETS BEAUX, SNEF Industrie Rousset), exclusive French distribution of the ALPHABET by Zambelis Lights architectural line, and an exclusive Swiss channel via Impact LD & Lumiverre. Lited's enterprise customer base spans SNCF, Bouygues Immobilier, Crédit Agricole, Thales, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Renault, the European Parliament, Printemps, and EFFIA. Sustainability positioning is documented through EcoVadis Silver 2026, Product Environmental Profiles for six major families, and a first full three-scope Bilan Carbone of 9,297 tCO2.
