KGP Electronics GmbH

What KGP Electronics GmbH does

KGP Electronics GmbH is a privately held German distributor of LED lighting components, headquartered in Lüdenscheid, Nordrhein-Westfalen. The company sources LED drivers, LED modules, flexible LED strips, emergency lighting devices, power supplies, LED panels, and lighting sensors primarily from affiliated manufacturer KEGU Power Electronics Co Ltd (Foshan, China), and re-sells these under the KGP brand to European customers with all relevant European certifications (CE, ENEC, DALI-2, Zhaga, RoHS, REACH).

The core technical offering centers on constant-current (CC) and constant-voltage (CV) LED drivers, available in multiple form factors (compact, mini, round, linear, flat) and supporting a wide range of dimming and control protocols including DALI, DALI-2, DALI DT8, Triac, 1-10V, Casambi, and NFC. Differentiated product lines include a Super Slim Series All-in-One (15W-100W, 23mm height, 100,000-hour lifetime), outdoor IP67 drivers (up to 400W, 10kV surge), and a proprietary KGP Configurator mobile/desktop application that allows NFC-based driver current adjustment in 1mA increments. Supporting product categories include Zhaga-compliant LED modules (up to 202 lm/W, 60,000-hour life), flexible LED strips including COB variants, ultra-flat LED panels, LiFePO4 emergency lighting, and Merrytek microwave sensors.

The business model is B2B distribution with a hybrid go-to-market. Direct sales serve OEM/luminaire manufacturers for project-specific and customized solutions, while the trade/replacement business in Germany and Austria is handled contractually by sole distributor ARCLITE® Lichtvertrieb GmbH since March 2025. KGP is also the exclusive European distributor of Merrytek sensor products. Marketing relies on the company website (DE/EN), annual product catalogs (2024, 2026), newsletter sign-ups, and participation in industry trade shows (EuroShop 2020, Light + Building 2022). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; all revenue streams are hardware sales with no disclosed recurring or subscription component.
