V-Light

What V-Light does

V-Light is the trading brand of VisionWare (Pty) Ltd, a South African in-house manufacturer of LED lighting solutions and electronic switchgear founded in 1995 and headquartered at Eloptro Business Park in Kempton Park, Gauteng. The company designs and builds its full product range locally, positioning against a market it characterizes as dominated by Chinese imports, and serves industrial, commercial, and agricultural end markets through a direct-to-customer sales motion via its website, email, and phone.

The product portfolio spans six hardware families: industrial lighting (LED High Bay, Flood, Spot), outdoor lighting (Street, Perimeter, Security, Pathway), electronic Day/Night switches in 10A and 25A variants, a specialized Poultry LED Lighting System rated at 180 LM/W with 80-95% light uniformity, the FLIPPER — a fully electric portable poultry weight grader with three-way sorting and data logging — and NAVLED aviation obstruction warning beacons. Technical differentiation rests on proprietary thermal management (down-facing fin design on 6063 aluminium housings with hard anodizing), IP66/IP66k ingress protection, and use of DIALux lighting-simulation software for design and consultation work. Beyond hardware, the company offers custom LED manufacturing for other brands, lighting simulation, and consultation services.

V-Light monetizes through one-time hardware sales and project-based professional services, with all products quote-priced and no publicly disclosed price list. Revenue is generated across three primary customer segments (industrial, commercial, agricultural) with no disclosed channel intermediaries, no public funding history, and no externally verifiable revenue. The company holds the registered trademarks V-Light® and FLIPPER, and operates two named sub-brands (NAVLED and FLIPPER).
