What PROLIGHT does
PROLIGHT (legal entity: PROTEK TECHNIKI EMPORIKI VIOMICHANIKI XENODOCHEIAKI TOURISTIKI EISAGOGIKI-EXAGOGIKI ANONYMI ETAIREIA, trading as PROTEK – PROLIGHT) is a privately held Greek architectural lighting design firm founded in Athens in 1977 as Greece's first company dedicated exclusively to premium lighting design. Headquartered at 129 Kifisias Avenue (Kolonaki) with a Kifissia showroom at 200 Kifisias Avenue, a Kallithea logistics site and a North Greece branch in Thessaloniki (92 G. Papandreou Str., operating since 2003), the firm operates two showroom-and-design hubs serving architects, hotel groups, real estate developers, corporate/institutional clients and private families across Greece and more than 20 countries. Over 45+ years it has completed 1,500+ projects spanning luxury hospitality, private residential, corporate, mega yachting, cultural and luxury retail segments, and was the first lighting company in Greece to achieve ISO 9001 certification (1997).
The firm's core technology stack centres on full-scope architectural lighting design — from concept strategy through detailed design, construction supervision, commissioning and handover, structured around the RIBA Plan of Work — underpinned by photometric simulation, BIM-ready documentation, DALI-dimmable and KNX control systems, advanced glare-control optics (UGR<19) and high-CRI LED specification (CRI 90+ to 97+ at 2700K–3000K). A distinctive capability is bespoke luminaire development in collaboration with European manufacturing partners, illustrated by the M/Y Dream mega yacht project in which 95% of fixtures were customised. Prolight distributes a curated catalogue of premium European brands — Artemide, Panzeri, Nexia, DGA, Astro Lighting, J. Adams & Co, Norlys, Inverlight, Lucitalia, Castaldi, Advanced Fiber Optics, Ghidini, Lumencenter, Venicem, Entrelacs and Ledflex — and supports LEED, WELL and BREEAM certification goals.
The business model combines professional design fees with hardware procurement mark-ups under an integrated design-and-supply offering that positions Prolight as the single accountable partner from first sketch to final focus. All engagements are bespoke, quote-based and project-driven, with no public pricing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via the Athens and Thessaloniki showrooms, supplemented by co-specification relationships with named Greek and international architectural studios (K-STUDIO, R.C. Tech, Buerger Katsota Architects, Ciarmoli Queda Studio, Chadios Architects, ASPA-KST, Rockwell Group, Stamatis Karagiannis, Proplusma Architects, XKS, StfnLab, Scapearchitecture). The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding, parent company or institutional shareholders, and has won more than a dozen industry awards (Interiors Awards, Tourism Awards, Exterior Awards, Archiproducts Design Awards, LIT Lighting Design Awards, iF Design Awards, 100% Hotel Design Awards).

PROLIGHT competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Speirs + Major: UK-based architectural lighting design consultancy with a strong international luxury and infrastructure portfolio. Direct competitor for premium European lighting design mandates and a credible alternative for clients evaluating boutique design partners.
- dpa lighting consultants: UK-based architectural lighting design consultancy serving commercial, retail, hospitality and heritage sectors. Direct competitor for European premium lighting design mandates.
- Bartenbach: Austrian premium architectural lighting design and applied research firm. Directly comparable to Prolight: bespoke lighting design for luxury hospitality, residential and architectural projects, with proprietary R&D capability — a peer European boutique with similar premium positioning.
- Lighting Design Collective: Spain-rooted international architectural lighting design studio. Comparable boutique practice serving premium hospitality, cultural and high-end residential clients across Europe — a direct competitor for landmark Mediterranean projects.
Others
- iGuzzini: Italian architectural lighting manufacturer, part of the Signify group. An adjacent ecosystem participant whose products overlap with Prolight's specification portfolio; relevant for understanding brand-partner dynamics and competitive product positioning.
- Delta Light: Belgian architectural lighting manufacturer with a strong European specification presence. Adjacent ecosystem participant competing in the same premium specification channel that Prolight operates in.
- Flos: Premium Italian architectural and decorative lighting manufacturer. Not a design peer but an adjacent ecosystem participant — a potential brand partner / competitor for upstream specification and a benchmark for the premium luminaire products Prolight specifies.
Broad incumbents
- Arup Lighting: Lighting design practice within global engineering giant Arup. Competes for the same high-end architectural lighting mandates but as part of a much broader portfolio of multidisciplinary services — wins projects where integrated engineering scope is required.
- Cundall Light4: UK-headquartered engineering consultancy with a dedicated lighting design practice. Offers lighting design embedded within a wider building services and sustainability offering — a competitor on commercial, healthcare and workplace mandates.
Emerging players
- Studio Fractal: Netherlands-based architectural lighting design practice. Smaller and more focused than Prolight on specific hospitality and cultural niches — an emerging peer with growing international visibility.
