What Performance iN Lighting Group does

Performance iN Lighting Group is an Italian designer and manufacturer of professional LED lighting fixtures for indoor and outdoor architectural applications, headquartered in Cenate Sotto (Bergamo) with corporate and R&D facilities in Verona. Originally founded in 1978 as PRISMA S.p.A., the company consolidated multiple legacy brands (SBP, Klewe, Ed-dis, Spittler) under the unified PERFORMANCE iN LIGHTING brand in 2014 and was acquired by GEWISS Group in 2022, now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary integrated within the GEWISS LightZone ecosystem alongside BEGHELLI and TVILIGHT.

The product portfolio spans 125+ SKUs organized into named series covering wall-mounted, ceiling surface-mounted, recessed wall, inground, floodlight, bollard, linear, and light column luminaires, supported by an in-house photometric laboratory with custom reflector-design software and a UNI EN ISO 17025-accredited testing facility recognized by IMQ, VDE (CTFs STAGE 2), and UL (WTDP). Differentiated capabilities include Dark Sky compliant fixtures (e.g., INSERT+ ZERO), the PRONTO Quick Ship program enabling 2-week lead times on most catalogued SKUs, and rapid custom modification services enabled by independent production lines. BIM integrations include Revit (.rfa), SketchUp, and AGI32 photometric data, supporting architects and lighting designers across the specification workflow.

Revenue is generated through direct hardware sales via a network of agencies and representatives across 25+ countries in Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia. Pricing is quote-based, with custom modifications billed per order and standard catalog items available through unit pricing on shortened lead times. Customers span commercial real estate, infrastructure (e.g., Seligerskaya Metro Station), sports venues (Abessinio Stadium, 76ers Fieldhouse), education (UConn, Southeast Raleigh Elementary), retail/hospitality (Mitsui Outlet Park Taichung, Jumeirah Lakes Towers), and mixed-use developments (Fox Point Farms). The firm maintains 101-250 employees.
