Core offering

Lichtwerk designs, manufactures, and sells LED luminaire systems for professional architectural applications — covering pendant, recessed, surface-mounted, track-mounted, and downlight formats — and complements this hardware with in-house lighting planning, design consulting, and bespoke luminaire development for projects that cannot be served by standard catalogue products. The portfolio is centred on the serio modular pendant/wall system, the fino system-luminaire family, and the lopia recessed range, supported by micro, epic, pilo, beo, clip, scala, klir, ceos, and solero product lines, all priced per SKU with DALI dimming, presence/daylight controls, and made-in-Germany production.

Lichtwerk is a German lighting solutions company specializing in innovative lighting systems for demanding architectural and professional applications. The product portfolio centers around the serio pendant/wall-mounted luminaire system as the flagship modular platform, complemented by the fino system luminaires (available as surface-mounted, recessed, and pendant variants), and the lopia recessed luminaire family (square and round formats). Additional product lines include micro luminaires for grid ceiling blackboard lighting, epic and pilo recessed luminaires, ceos track-mounted luminaires, solero surface-mounted luminaires, klir pendant luminaires, clip phase track luminaires, beo downlights, and scala surface-mounted luminaires.
