CONSTRULUZ

What CONSTRULUZ does

Construluz is a Costa Rican specialty lighting design and consulting firm founded in 2009, headquartered in Santo Domingo de Heredia. The company combines professional lighting advisory and design services with the distribution of LED lighting products, embedding its team into client projects from architectural planning through specification and execution. Its core technology centers on LED lighting with expertise in BIM, DIALUX, and REVIT design tools, and its certified product portfolio spans UL-certified MaxLite LED fixtures, Fraunhofer IPA-certified clean room LED panels, ETL Intertek-certified COB LED strips, and proprietary lines including AKKU solar LED luminaires (with LifePO4 battery chemistry) and Softlight UV-C air disinfection systems. Sub-brands also include CIELO TENSADO stretch-ceiling lighting solutions and a wildlife-friendly lighting line.

The company's business model rests on two revenue streams: (1) one-time sales of lighting products through project advisory, e-commerce and master distribution channels, and (2) professional services covering lighting design, photometry calculations and specification. It is the exclusive MaxLite master distributor for Central America — the first firm in the region to obtain that contract — and serves enterprise customers across hospitality (Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica), food and beverage (Hard Rock Café San José, Starbucks Costa Rica), commercial real estate (Torre Universal), healthcare (Edwards Lifesciences), automotive (Inchcape Lindora), education (LEAD University) and coworking (Toolbox), alongside SMB and retail consumers via an online shop. The company is privately held, privately funded (no disclosed institutional capital), and operates with a 24-person team.
