Overhuys Verlichting

What Overhuys Verlichting does

Overhuys Verlichting BV is a Netherlands-based, privately held limited company that operated an online retail platform called Overhuys Online (overhuysonline.nl), selling lighting components, LED solutions, and fixtures to Dutch consumers and small businesses. The catalog aggregated products from multiple major lighting manufacturers — including GE, Osram, Philips, Aura, and Delta Light — alongside an internal LED private-label brand (Overhuys / Ledhuys). The website offered supplementary services such as light calculation requests, product documentation requests, and account-based ordering, and the company maintained a partnership with Wecycle for responsible recycling of lighting products.

The platform was a standard e-commerce storefront with product browsing, a shopping cart, checkout, and customer account functionality — no proprietary technology, custom API, or integrations were disclosed. The business model was direct-to-consumer/transactional: revenue was generated through individual product sales via the webshop on a pay-as-you-go basis, with no subscription, tiered, or enterprise contract pricing publicly disclosed. The firm operated with 11–50 employees and was based in the Zwanenburg/Amsterdam region of the Netherlands.

According to the company's own website, 'Overhuys Verlichting is gesloten' (Overhuys Verlichting is closed), indicating that the business has ceased operations. No management team, ownership structure, funding history, M&A activity, financial disclosures, or restructuring announcements are available in the source data.
