Lightex

What Lightex does

Lightex is a Bulgarian LED lighting brand (legally Дени Лайтинг ЕООД / Deni Lighting EOOD), with the LIGHTEX trademark registered since 2011 and a product catalog covering residential, commercial, industrial, outdoor, street, and solar-powered LED lighting. The portfolio spans chandeliers, pendants, ceiling panels, recessed spots, UFO high-bay and linear industrial luminaires (IGOR Gen 2, LEE series), street luminaires (STAR I, COB), facade lighting, solar garden and decorative products, 48V flexible track systems (IMAGINARIUM, KATANA), emergency lighting, LED lamps and tubes, and supporting electrical materials such as LED drivers, dimmers and sensors. Technical features include adjustable CCT (typically 3000K-6500K), IP44-IP67 protection ratings, efficacy up to ~160 lm/W on selected lines, and integrated emergency-block compatibility on industrial SKUs.

The company operates a multi-channel distribution model: owned retail stores and an e-commerce storefront (lightshop.bg) reach Bulgarian consumers directly; a network of more than ten retail chain partners — including Praktiker, Mr. Bricolage, BauMax, Praktis, Masterhouse, Angro and others — provides national shelf coverage; and a direct B2B/municipal sales motion wins public-procurement contracts for street-lighting and energy-efficiency projects, including work funded through the EU Recovery and Sustainability Mechanism. Pricing is unit-based in Bulgarian Lev (BGN) with a wide range from low-cost LED tubes (~BGN 2.30) to premium chandeliers (~BGN 455). The company also pursues international visibility through trade-show participation, notably the Light + Building exhibition in Frankfurt.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of external venture or private-equity investment. The company is privately held by its founders/operators and operates from Bulgaria.
