What Di-LOG does
Di-LOG Limited is a Manchester-based, privately-held manufacturer and distributor of electrical test and measurement equipment targeting UK electrical professionals. Founded in 1998 and operating as the Di-LOG Group with wholly-owned subsidiaries Di-LOG Energy and Re-Cal Calibration Services, the company splits revenue across three streams: own-brand instruments (centered on the new ALVA Series of multifunction testers replacing the DL9100 Series, plus CombiVolt voltage detectors, lockout/tagout kits and environmental meters), distribution of complementary third-party brands (FLIR thermal imaging, Seaward HV and PAT testers, Chauvin Arnoux power quality analysers, Sonel solar/EV testers, SmartWater forensic marking), and recurring Re-CAL calibration and repair services with free UK-wide collection and delivery. Proprietary technology is concentrated in the ALVA platform — RCD-LOC+ non-trip loop impedance testing, EV Auto Sequence, 6mA RDC-PD/MD testing for Type B RCD verification in EV installations, guided test sequences on full-colour TFT displays, Zmax/Imax tracking, and a 1,000-record internal memory — wrapped in compliance with BS 7671 18th Edition, BS EN 61557 and BS 61243-3:2014. The DLEV1 universal EVSE Charge Station Adaptor Kit (Type 1 and Type 2 connectors) extends the platform into EV charger verification, while cloud and mobile integrations (FLIR Ignite, FLIR Tools, FLIR MeterLink, Bluetooth, FLIR Thermal Studio Suite) provide ancillary digital workflow tooling layered over distributed third-party hardware.
The company sells through a direct e-commerce storefront at dilog.co.uk with full trade pricing displayed, supplemented by UK trade distribution and resellers. Pricing spans entry-level (UT305H infrared thermometer at £35.99 inc VAT) to flagship (ALVA MFT Pro EV Kit at £2,399), with FLIR thermal imaging products at £259-£1,349, moisture meters up to £1,349, and Chauvin Arnoux power quality instruments at £336-£603. Customer segments are horizontal and fragmented: electrical contractors and installers (primary, requiring 18th Edition compliance certification), building inspectors and facilities maintenance professionals, EV charging installers and renewable energy specialists, and PAT/health-and-safety compliance professionals. Geographic reach is UK-domestic only, with no disclosed international expansion, no external funding rounds, and a headcount of 11-50 employees.

Di-LOG competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Fluke Corporation: Fortive-owned global leader in digital multimeters, clamp meters, and electrical installation testers. Overlaps with Di-LOG's own-brand and distributed lines (e.g., DL9319BT, distributed FLIR thermal cameras) at the high end of the trade segment.
- Hioki E.E. Corporation: Japanese manufacturer of electrical test and measurement instruments including insulation testers, clamp meters, and power quality analysers. Competes for the same high-end UK professional buyers that Di-LOG targets with FLIR and Chauvin Arnoux distributed lines.
- Teledyne FLIR: Parent of the FLIR thermal imaging and moisture meter product lines that make up a large portion of Di-LOG's distributed catalog. FLIR's own direct UK sales channel means Di-LOG is both key channel partner and partial competitor for thermal camera deals.
- Chauvin Arnoux: French manufacturer of power quality analysers (Qualistar+), energy loggers (PEL series), and electrical test instruments. Di-LOG distributes its products in the UK; Chauvin Arnoux also sells direct via subsidiaries, creating partial overlap.
- Amprobe (Fortive): Fortive-owned electrical test instrument brand covering multimeters, clamp meters, and installation testers. Competes with Di-LOG's own-brand instruments and is frequently evaluated alongside Fluke by UK trade buyers.
Direct peers
- Kewtech Corporation: UK-based specialist in multifunction testers and 18th Edition compliance equipment, including the KT200CL and EZYPAT ranges. Closest head-to-head competitor for Di-LOG's ALVA MFT family among UK electrical contractors.
- Megger: UK-headquartered manufacturer of electrical test equipment including multifunction testers, insulation testers, and EVSE test instruments. Directly competes with Di-LOG's ALVA Series in the UK electrician and installer channel.
- Seaward Electronic Group: Manufacturer of Apollo and PrimeTest PAT testers plus high-voltage test equipment, distributed by Di-LOG. Sells both directly and through other UK channels, making it a peer that Di-LOG both represents and competes against.
- Sonel S.A. Polish manufacturer of electrical and PV/EV test equipment (MZC, PVM, EVSE-100S). Di-LOG is its UK distributor, so Sonel is simultaneously a partner and a competitor for Di-LOG's Di-LOG Energy / solar PV and EVSE positioning.
- Martindale Electric: UK manufacturer of voltage indicators, proving units, and safe isolation kits (e.g., VIPDLOK138). Overlaps directly with Di-LOG's CombiVolt DL67xx series and PU690 proving unit in the safe-isolation category.
