What EAE Aydnlatma does

EAE Aydınlatma A.Ş. is a Turkish manufacturer of industrial, architectural, and explosion-proof (ex-proof) LED lighting, founded in 1983 and headquartered in Istanbul with a 65,000 m² closed-area production facility in Dilovası, Kocaeli. The company operates as the lighting subsidiary of EAE Şirketler Grubu (EAE Group), a privately held, 100% Turkish-capital industrial conglomerate that employs roughly 2,500 people across its five operating companies (EAE Elektrik, EAE Aydınlatma, EAE Elektroteknik, EAE Teknoloji, EAE Makina). EAE Aydınlatma's product portfolio spans high-bay industrial luminaires, linear weatherproof (etanj) fixtures, linear trunking systems, surface-mounted and recessed luminaires, LED floodlights and projectors (50W-450W), road and canopy lighting, a full ATEX-style ex-proof range (Zone 1/2 and 21/22), architectural interior and exterior lighting, and emergency luminaires. Underlying technology is built around in-house LED optical design, thermal management, electronic hardware/software R&D, and an in-house photometric laboratory (goniophotometry since 2011, 2-meter Ulbricht sphere) backed by over 30 patents, 300+ trademarks, and 100+ industrial design registrations.

The business model is B2B project-based sales of manufactured luminaires, supplemented by professional services including lighting design, photometric calculations, energy-savings analysis, and DIALux-EVO training delivered through EAE's in-house academy. Revenue is generated through direct regional sales offices in Turkey (Istanbul, Kocaeli, Ankara, İzmir, Bursa, Konya), an established domestic dealer network, and international distribution through EAE Group subsidiaries in Italy, Germany, Australia, and USA plus representation offices in the UK and France. Pricing is quote-based with no public list prices; customers access project engineering and ROI/energy-savings analysis tools on the company website. The company is also Turkey's first certified DIALux Partner, publishes BIM objects on bimobject.com, and offers a dedicated Autodesk Revit plugin, embedding its products into designer workflows. End customers are diversified across heavy industry (automotive OEMs such as Mercedes-Benz Türk, Ford, Oyak Renault, Tofaş, Türk Traktör), logistics (DHL, Ekol, Barsan, Reysaş), ports (Safiport, MARPORT, Çelebiport, Assanport, Mesbaş, Beldeport), oil & gas (SOCAR), cement and steel (Soma Çimento), retail chains (Migros, CarrefourSA, A101, Kiler, Mall of Istanbul), healthcare (multiple hospitals), education (Koç Üniversitesi, Sakarya Bahçeşehir Koleji, Fethi Koleji), and infrastructure projects. The company complements its hardware with smart-building controls via EAE Teknoloji's Kinexa lighting management system and Hyperion monitoring software.
