What Arcluce does

Arcluce S.p.A. is an Italian architectural lighting manufacturer founded in 1989, headquartered in San Zenone al Lambro near Milan, with a workforce of 51-100 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and sells professional LED lighting fixtures for interior and exterior architectural applications, organized into two principal product lines — INTERIOR (recessed downlights, ceiling fittings, pendants, track 230V/48V DALI systems, modular linear systems, high-bay luminaires) and EXTERIOR (facade fittings, recessed wall/floor luminaires, bollards, urban lighting, and outdoor floodlights). Notable proprietary product systems include the RIGO modular platform, the MOTO Modulaire floodlight (2-6 LED module configurations), and the PANTHEON2 rotationally symmetric projector, with control integration spanning DALI, DMX512, and BLE wireless technologies.

Arcluce's underlying technology is centered on LED light sources with proprietary optical engineering, offering beam options from narrow spot to ultra-wide flood, asymmetric distributions, and RGB/RGBW color control. The product range supports smart-building integration through DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) on both 230V and 48V track systems, DMX512 for dynamic floodlight effects, and Bluetooth Low Energy for remote fixture control. Materials and construction emphasize durability — die-cast aluminium, stainless steel, tempered glass, and silicone gaskets — with documented IP and IK ratings for harsh-environment applications, including DarkSky-compliant fixtures for reduced light pollution.

The company operates a project-specification B2B business model, generating revenue primarily through hardware sales of architectural lighting fixtures. Go-to-market is via a network of professional lighting distributors combined with direct engagement of architects, lighting designers, and project specifiers, supported by a multilingual website (Italian, English, German, French), trade show presence (notably Light+Building), a project portfolio showcase, and a newsletter channel. Documented installations span hospitality (The Barnum, Dundonald Links), public infrastructure (J.C.J. van Speijk Lighthouse, Englischer Garten), education (Ysgol Gymraeg Y Trallwng, Moholt Student Village), sports (Anfield Stadium), research campuses (Harwell), mixed-use developments (Ogmios City, Aura Town Centre), and urban environments across Europe and Australia.
