What Lite does

LITE A/S (Light Innovation Technology), doing business as LITE and previously known as Light Innovation Technology, is a Danish B2B LED lighting company headquartered in Nørresundby, Denmark, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the GF Inveco conglomerate. Founded in 2012 with a current headcount of 11–50, the company designs, supplies, and supports complete LED lighting solutions spanning indoor (the ECOLITE intelligent series, surface-mounted, track, high-bay, downlight, wall, pendant, and panel fixtures), outdoor (NIGHTLITE, CITYLITE, LUNA, RAY, RUN street/road luminaires; LYKTEN, PILO PARK, VISTA park lighting; bollards; wall, facade, and in-ground fixtures), and lighting control (DALI and CASAMBI). Its portfolio combines own-brand products co-developed with Pilgaard Design Studio and EPJ Design with exclusive Danish distribution rights for partner Molto Luce (Austria), PURSO's SNEP® recycled-aluminum industrial luminaires (Finland), and component supply through Wennerström Ljuskontroll (Sweden).

LITE makes money through a project-based, quote-driven B2B sales motion targeting four primary segments: architects and consultants, installers and electricians, Danish municipalities, and commercial enterprises (offices, schools, hospitals, retail, industrial). Revenue is generated from hardware sales of LED luminaires and control systems, complemented by professional services including lighting design, light calculations, project planning, on-site support, and an emerging Facility Management with Lighting Control offering. Pricing is non-public and quotation-based, with a 5-year warranty bundled into all luminaires. Distribution combines a direct field-sales team in Denmark with channel partners internationally — Ahlsell Sverige AB in Sweden and Industrielicht in the Netherlands — supported by a 600m2 showroom with 10 application environments used as a sales and specification tool. Recent strategic emphasis has been on upstream specification influence (BIM objects for ArchiCad launched 2024), circular-economy product design, and geographic expansion into the broader Nordic and Northwestern European markets.

The company's footprint is anchored in Denmark, with documented customers including Hjørring Kommune (Vand i Midtbyen), Nørresundby Kommune (Syrestien), Vrå Børne- og Kulturhus (Årets Skolebyggeri 2022), TECHCOLLEGE Aalborg, Nordhavn Aalborg, and Streetball Consulting (BK Amager). It has earned regional recognition including the 2021 Hjørring Architecture Prize, the 2022 School Building of the Year award, and a 2024 nomination for the Danish Light Prize, and reports having delivered 54,000+ road and street lighting fixtures to the Danish market over five years. LITE is registered under the Danish WEEE producer responsibility scheme and is a member of the DOLL Living Lab innovation ecosystem.
