What icLighting does

icLighting is a UK-based B2B commercial LED lighting company that supplies, designs and installs intelligent lighting systems for industrial, commercial, government and institutional customers. Operating from Peterborough, Cambridgeshire (with a listed city record of Welwyn Garden City), the company employs 11-50 staff and positions itself as a manufacturer-independent lighting consultant, aggregating products from CREE, Di Astrum, Novalux, Valtavalo, Teknoware and AALTO Control into a portfolio of more than 500 SKUs across 16 application categories including office, factory, warehouse, food production, healthcare, education, sports, retail, outdoor and hazardous-area lighting.

The core technology stack combines commodity LED luminaires (efficacy up to 180 lumens per watt, 2700K-5000K colour temperatures) with the proprietary icControl wireless lighting control system, which adds daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing and scene-setting on top of the fixtures. Specialised offerings include the Re:Lux retrofit scheme, circadian-rhythm lighting, depleted blue-chip technology for sensitive environments, cold-storage luminaires rated to -35°C, ATEX explosion-proof fixtures and Teknoware emergency/exit signage. Value proposition centres on energy savings of up to 60% versus legacy lighting, sub-12-month payback periods, and 5-7-10 year warranty tiers.

Revenue is generated through four streams: hardware sales of LED luminaires, professional services (site surveys, lighting design, specification consultancy and installation by qualified electricians), a 'Lighting as a Service' managed-service contract model, and financing/leasing options. Go-to-market is consultative direct field sales targeting enterprise and mid-market customers, supported by inside-sales quote handling, a content/SEO-led website, a CPD-accredited training programme and an online energy-saving calculator. Named enterprise customers include Shell, Exxon, Esso, Ford, GM, IKEA, Disney, Nestle, Heineken, Caterpillar, Saint Gobain, the UK Ministry of Defence, Oxford University Hospital and Wembley stadium.

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Dialight: UK-headquartered specialist in industrial LED lighting for hazardous, harsh, and high-bay applications, including oil & gas, mining, and transport. Overlaps with icLighting's industrial and hazardous-area vertical with comparable target customers.

Broad incumbents

• Zumtobel Group: Austrian-headquartered European lighting group (Zumtobel, Thorn, Tridonic) with commercial LED luminaires, lighting controls, and project services. Competes in the same specifier/spec-driven European commercial lighting market as icLighting, particularly in offices, retail, and outdoor.
• Glamox: Norwegian-headquartered lighting manufacturer with strong marine, offshore, and industrial LED product lines, including hazardous-area (ATEX) fixtures that overlap directly with icLighting's oil-rig and chemical-store offerings.
• Signify (Philips Lighting): Global leader in LED lighting, lighting controls (Interact), and Lighting-as-a-Service for professional and consumer markets. Competes with icLighting across every commercial/industrial vertical but at vastly greater scale, often as the OEM behind fixtures icLighting re-sells.
• Fagerhult Group: Swedish-listed global lighting group offering premium LED luminaires, controls, and design services across commercial, educational, industrial, and outdoor segments. Directly comparable solution-set and customer base to icLighting at a much larger scale.
• Holophane (Acuity Brands): UK arm of Acuity Brands supplying industrial, commercial, and outdoor LED lighting with controls and smart-city capability. Comparable in industrial, outdoor, and hazardous-area verticals and competes on large public-sector and infrastructure tenders.

Direct peers

• Tamlite Lighting: UK-based LED luminaire manufacturer and solutions provider serving commercial, industrial, education, healthcare, and retail sectors. Comparable in target verticals, product breadth, and project-led GTM.
• Dextra Lighting: UK manufacturer of commercial, industrial, and emergency LED lighting with full project design, supply, and installation capability. Direct peer across product portfolio, customer segments, and end-to-end service model.
• Thorlux Lighting: UK-based designer and manufacturer of commercial and industrial LED lighting with in-house lighting design and project services. Direct competitor in the same UK specifier/integrator niche, overlapping heavily on industrial, commercial, and hazardous-area verticals.

Others

• Carbon Trust / Energy Service Company (ESCO) retrofit providers: UK energy-efficiency programme operators and ESCOs (e.g. Carbon Trust accredited installers, Salix-funded schemes) that finance and deliver LED retrofit projects to public sector and SME customers. Adjacent competitors to icLighting's LaaS offering and the channel through which many of its public-sector customers are funded.
