Lumieres De France

What Lumieres De France does

Lumieres De France is a privately held, family-owned French manufacturer of outdoor public lighting equipment, founded in 1984 and headquartered in Cheval-Blanc, Vaucluse. The company designs, manufactures, and assembles 100% of its products in France at a single 6,000 m² workshop site, with 12,000 m² of additional outdoor storage. Its product portfolio spans functional LED lanterns (X1, Novéa, Cirrus, Owni, Evo), contemporary lanterns (Vega, Elisa, Torsade, Orbis, Natura), heritage and decorative lanterns (Cristal, Venezia, Rivoli, Luberon), LED projectors for sports and large spaces (Solis A & M, Solis B, Alcyone, Woop), four mast families (Classic, Design, De Style, Grande Hauteur), luminous columns and bollards, brackets and consoles in both contemporary and traditional styles, and mechanical and electrical accessories. The technology backbone is the proprietary LEDFlex modular LED platform, which combines configurable power supply, regulation, thermal dissipation, LEDs, and optics, with color temperatures from 2400K to 6000K and optical angles from 4 to 140 degrees. Complementing this is the UpLED retrofit kit, designed to be adaptable to 99% of existing street lighting luminaires and deliver average energy savings of 73%, and a smart-city / telemanagement layer supporting Zhaga Book 18, D4i, DALI, Bluetooth, Li-Fi, and DMX. The business model is direct B2G/B2B project-based sales, organized by French département, with quote-based pricing, multi-year contracts, and no e-commerce or reseller channel. Primary customers are French municipalities and local governments (responsible for public lighting infrastructure that consumes 41% of municipal electricity bills), supplemented by transport-infrastructure operators and large industrial sites; marquee installations include the Assemblée Nationale, Grand Port Maritime de Marseille, and the cities of Marseille, Arles, Salon-de-Provence, La Ciotat, and Saint-Martin-de-Crau. Revenue streams comprise hardware sales of LED luminaires and retrofit kits, accessories and components, and professional services through an integrated engineering bureau that conducts photometric studies and project accompaniment for municipalities. The 2023-2024 €600,000 self-funded investment plan is renovating workshops and production capacity, while a 750 kWp rooftop and carport photovoltaic plant makes the facility's electricity consumption carbon-positive.
