Perdix

What Perdix does

Perdix GmbH is a Swiss designer and manufacturer of LED lighting solutions headquartered in Lucerne, Switzerland, founded in 2013 by CEO/Designer Georgia Daskalopoulou and CFO/COO Patrick Wirz. The company develops and produces over 40 distinct luminaire product lines spanning surface-mounted ceiling and wall lights (LIBRE CIRCLE 2.0, LIBRE SQUARE 2.0, BIG CIRCLE RING 2.0, MILI, WALLI), recessed and spot downlights (SUNNY, CHAMELEON, DECENT, CROWN, BARON 2.0), linear and bar systems (GR8-LINE, ANIGO, CHEEKY), emergency lighting (EMER), industrial high-bay and floodlights (GEORGE, OCTOPUS, HIGHBAY LONG, SENTINEL), track lights (DROP PY, FRANCIS), and specialty fixtures (VANDA, PETRA, BOBBY). All products share a modular LED architecture with replaceable modules and drivers, Ra 90 color rendering, 3-Step MacAdams binning, DALI/phase-cut dimming options, IP54+ ingress protection, and a proprietary driver ecosystem (prepDAL, prepCUT, prepON). The portfolio is backed by a 5-year warranty and a 20-year spare parts availability guarantee.

The business model combines standard catalog sales (CHF 35 to CHF 600+ per unit) via own e-commerce (shop.perdix.swiss) and a triennial printed catalog with project-based custom manufacturing (Tailormade) for architects, lighting designers, and enterprise clients. Revenue streams include one-time hardware sales, professional services (maintenance, repair, LED module/driver replacement, lighting planning consulting), and bespoke luminaire design for landmark projects such as the 2,000+ DECENT CIRCLE spot downlights for Jean Nouvel's KKL Culture and Congress Center Lucerne and custom CROWN optics for ETH Zürich. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce (24-hour Swiss delivery from a 6,600 m² Entlebuch warehouse), direct enterprise field sales (phone, email, WhatsApp, in-person consultation), and a printed catalog with integrated QR codes. Customer segments span commercial real estate, retail and hospitality, education and public buildings, healthcare and senior care, industry and logistics, residential, and architects/lighting designers, with named accounts including Credit Suisse, UBS, Basler Kantonalbank, Lidl Switzerland, Lacoste Switzerland, ETH Zürich, SBB, Pilatus Aircraft, Galliker Transport, and KKL Lucerne.

Geographically, Perdix operates from Lucerne (headquarters), Basel (branch), Entlebuch (warehouse), Konstanz, Germany (perdix licht gmbh), and Hong Kong (perdix hong kong ltd). The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no public listing, and no funding rounds to date. Leadership remains concentrated with the founding couple, supported by a small management team including a product manager/quality control lead, external sales, backoffice sales, and network development/facility management roles. Recognition includes a German Design Award for the LIBRE CIRCLE 2.0 and victory in ETH Zürich's 2020 lighting competition with the CROWN downlight.
