Regional players

• Lampen24: Lampen24 is a German online specialty lighting retailer offering indoor and outdoor luminaires, LED lamps, and smart lighting controls. Comparable to Light Gallery as a pure-play D2C lighting specialist, but geographically concentrated in Germany rather than Belgium.
• Lampenwelt: Lampenwelt is one of Europe's largest online specialty lighting retailers, offering a broad range of luminaires, LED lamps, and smart lighting across multiple brands. Comparable to Light Gallery in product breadth and direct-to-consumer specialty positioning, with a primarily German footprint.
• Gamma: Gamma is a Dutch-Belgian home improvement chain offering lighting, electrical, and renovation products. It overlapped with Light Gallery's residential and small-commercial lighting assortment in Belgium but competed across a much broader hardware and home improvement mix.
• Brico: Brico is a leading Belgian home improvement and DIY retail chain carrying a meaningful lighting category alongside general hardware, paint, and garden. Directly competed with Light Gallery for residential lighting shoppers in Belgium, but as a multi-category regional incumbent rather than a specialist.

Broad incumbents

• Coolblue: Coolblue is a Benelux-based multi-category electronics and home appliance retailer with a substantial lighting assortment and strong e-commerce operations in Belgium. It competed with Light Gallery on consumer LED and smart lighting purchases, but as part of a much broader category mix.
• Bol.com: Bol.com is the leading general-merchandise online marketplace in Belgium and the Netherlands, with a large third-party and first-party lighting category. Comparable as a Belgian destination for consumer lighting purchases, but as a broad-line retailer rather than a lighting specialist.
• Hornbach: Hornbach is a European home improvement and DIY big-box retailer with a sizable lighting assortment and a strong project-focused customer base. Comparable as a Belgian destination for consumer lighting purchases, though it competes on a much broader assortment scale.
• IKEA: IKEA is a global home furnishings retailer with an extensive in-store and online lighting assortment including LED, smart lighting, and integrated fixtures. Comparable to Light Gallery on consumer indoor lighting purchases in Belgium, though operating as a broad-line home furnishings incumbent.
• Philips (Signify consumer lighting): Philips consumer lighting, marketed by Signify (Light Gallery's parent), sells branded LED, smart, and traditional lighting products through retail partners and direct channels across Belgium. It is comparable as a brand and product competitor, with Light Gallery previously serving as a Signify-owned showcase channel for the same product portfolio.

Direct peers

• Lampdirect: Lampdirect is a Netherlands-based online specialist retailer of lighting products including LED lamps, fixtures, and smart lighting, serving both Belgium and the Netherlands. It is the most direct functional peer to Light Gallery's pre-closure online lighting retail model in the Benelux region.
