Cosmolight

What Cosmolight does

Cosmolight is an Italian family-owned manufacturer of professional lighting fixtures and suspension/rigging systems for television studios, broadcast facilities, theatres, auditoriums, and architectural installations, headquartered in Guidonia Montecelio near Rome. The company was founded in 1974 and is operated through three complementary brands housed in a single vertically integrated facility: Cosmolight (LED soft panels including the fanless INFINITY 100 at 90W and INFINITY 200 at 180W, with bi-color CCT from 2800K to 6500K), Quartzcolor (LED Fresnel fixtures from 35W to 450W under the Studio LED X Series PLUS range, marketed with Quartzcolor Fresnel optics and 16-bit electronic dimming), and IFF (pantographs, drop arms, hoists, control systems, and top-rail systems for lighting suspension). In-house engineering spans electrical, electronics, mechanical, and software disciplines, and production is ISO 9001 certified entirely in Italy.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of LED fixtures and rigging systems, complemented by the IFF Solutions Division which provides turnkey project management spanning design, installation planning, and technical support for studio build-outs. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise engagement with broadcasters and large production studios, supported by regional distributors in Italy (ZALIGHT), the UK (Multi-Lite UK), Singapore (AVLite), and Greece (TELMACO), plus a heavy event-driven cadence across IBC Amsterdam, BroadcastAsia Singapore, Prolight+Sound Frankfurt, BVE London, Microsalon Italia, and the annual Days of DELIGHT open house. Products are quoted in Euros under Ex Works terms with 'Payment In Advance' as the standard payment condition and a two-year warranty; no public pricing is disclosed.

The company is owned by the Rocchi family following the December 2020 passing of founder Francesco Rocchi, with Gianni Rocchi as current owner and Pina Rocchi as CEO of the Quartzcolor subsidiary. Notable commercial signals include a 650-fixture halogen-to-LED modernization for Greek broadcaster Alpha TV and a partnership placing Quartzcolor Studio LED X Series products into Litepanels' (Vitec Group) product portfolio. EU-funded internationalization initiatives (InterCosmo in 2018 and Supernova in 2021) and active exhibition presence through IBC 2025 indicate ongoing commercial expansion.

Broad incumbents

• Osram (ams OSRAM): Osram / ams OSRAM is a global lighting and photonics manufacturer with significant presence in professional entertainment and broadcast LED lighting. As a broad incumbent, it offers overlapping capabilities across LED engines, drivers, and specialty fixtures, though it is less specialized in the integrated studio-and-rigging bundle Cosmolight sells.
• Signify (Philips Lighting): Signify (formerly Philips Lighting) is one of the world's largest lighting companies serving commercial, industrial, and entertainment markets, including broadcast-grade LED fixtures. While not a specialist in TV studio lighting, Signify's scale and brand compete for larger studio retrofit contracts that Cosmolight also targets.

Direct peers

• ETC (Electronic Theatre Controls): ETC is a leading manufacturer of entertainment and architectural lighting fixtures, control consoles (EOS, ColorSource), and rigging for theatres, studios, and broadcast facilities. Cosmolight co-exhibits with ETC at Days of DELIGHT, and the two compete directly in theatre/studio lighting and lighting control categories.
• Claypaky: Claypaky is an Italian professional lighting manufacturer known for entertainment and stage lighting, increasingly expanding into broadcast and studio-grade LED fixtures. Cosmolight and Claypaky share Italian roots, exhibit at Prolight+Sound, and compete in the broader professional lighting ecosystem for theatre, broadcast, and architectural installations.
• Litepanels (Vitec Group): Litepanels pioneered LED panel lighting for television and motion picture industries and is part of Vitec Group's Production Solutions Division. Litepanels is both a distribution partner (carrying Quartzcolor Studio LED X Series) and a direct peer competing in the same high-CRI LED panel segment for broadcast studios.
• ARRI: ARRI is a global leader in professional lighting fixtures for film, broadcast, and studio applications, including LED Fresnels and soft panels with high CRI. Cosmolight explicitly hired from ARRI (Alejandro Sanchez Cuerda) and targets overlapping customer segments in studio modernization, making ARRI Cosmolight's most direct competitor in premium broadcast lighting.
• De Sisti Lighting: De Sisti is a long-established Italian manufacturer of professional lighting fixtures (Fresnels, softlights, LED) for film, television, and broadcast studios. As a fellow Italian specialty broadcast lighting maker, De Sisti competes head-to-head with Cosmolight/Quartzcolor for the same European broadcast and film studio customers.
• ROBE Lighting: ROBE Lighting is a major European manufacturer of professional moving-head and LED fixtures for entertainment, broadcast, and theatre applications, exhibiting at Prolight+Sound. Its LED-based studio and broadcast lighting products overlap with Cosmolight's LED Fresnels and panels for studio customers.

Emerging players

• GDS (Global Design Solutions): GDS is a UK-based specialist in broadcast and studio lighting systems, including LED house lights and broadcast-specific lighting controls. Like Cosmolight/Quartzcolor, GDS targets broadcast and production studios with high-CRI, networked lighting and competes for similar projects at studios such as those in the UK media market.

Regional players

• DTS (Drama Theatre System): DTS is an Italian professional lighting manufacturer whose products (Sinergy Profile, Alchemy 5, X Brick) target entertainment and architectural applications.
