Koopman Interlight

What Koopman Interlight does

Koopman Interlight, operating under the legal entity Jacs Koopman, is a Netherlands-based B2B distributor of LED lighting and electrotechnical installation materials. Founded in 1944 and headquartered in the Netherlands (KvK 30074807), the company today runs a team of more than 20 staff and serves primarily Dutch and European electrical wholesalers (elektrotechnische groothandels), with secondary reach to commercial and residential installers across utilities, retail, industry, and residential construction segments. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining a direct field sales team (Rody, Michel, Kees, Peter, Richard), a multi-language e-commerce storefront (NL/EN/DE/DA/SV), WhatsApp business contact, and technical services including light planning, demonstrations, and project consultation for installations ranging from small projects to 200+ fixture rollouts.

The product portfolio rests on three own-brand platforms: Interlight (the core LED lighting range covering spots, downlights, panels, rail lighting, ceiling fixtures, industrial highbays, light sources, drivers, and outdoor lighting), Thinq (a scalable smart-lighting system with sensors, DALI/1-10V/phase-dimmable drivers, panels, waterproof fixtures, and app-based configuration), and Power (installation materials including contact material, cable reels, junction boxes, and EV charging stations). A subset of Interlight spots and the Sensetrack rail-lighting line integrate AI-based sensors for presence detection and intelligent control, supported by configurator tools (downlight selector, Infinity configurator, Nova configuration, lumen and energy-savings calculators) and a 2–7 year warranty. The company also distributes third-party brands (Norwesco, Inepro, Schill, Müller/Paladin, Inprojal, Electro Terminal, Servodan) to round out the electrical wholesaler one-stop-shop.

The revenue model is hardware sales to B2B resellers, with publicly listed per-unit pricing ranging from approximately €10 (CEE quick-connect) to €220 (Dream+ LED trackspot). Differentiation rests on consolidated assortment, large stock for quick delivery, technical sales support, and the breadth of the own-brand portfolio developed via a 15-year-plus LED knowledge-network partnership model. Channels are split between wholesale distribution (primary), direct e-commerce (secondary for SMB and individual buyers), and direct field sales (for large projects and enterprise accounts). No external funding, parent company, or subsidiaries are disclosed; the business is privately held and independently operated.
