Puraluce

What Puraluce does

Puraluce Srl is an Italian designer and manufacturer of architectural LED lighting fixtures, headquartered in Sesto Fiorentino (Florence), Tuscany, with operations rooted in 100% in-house 'Made in Italy' design, prototyping, and production. The product portfolio spans 12+ categories including step lights, bollards, spotlights/projectors, electrified track systems (230V and 48Vdc), wall-ceiling fixtures, facade lighting, pendant lights, recessed fixtures, reading/task lights, floor lamps, and pool lighting, supported by proprietary features such as the modular Domino recessed system (up to 150lm/W, CRI ≥90), the Etna bollard range in natural copper and anodized aluminum, the IP68-rated Smart Car bollard (load-rated to 3.5 tons), and the Bianco Dinamico tunable-white technology (CCT 2700-6500K, 3-100% dimming) targeted at art and gallery illumination. Puraluce sells predominantly on a project-specification basis to architects, lighting designers, and end clients in hospitality, luxury residential, heritage, commercial, marina, and public-space segments, with case studies spanning Italian heritage (Castello dei Vicari, Fattoria il Palagio), Tuscan resorts (Baia Bianca Suites, Il Delfinetto), international public art (Giannelli exhibitions in Pietrasanta and Florence), municipal works (Calgary West Eau Claire Park), and transportation (Nice Airport VIP Lounge).

The business model is hardware sales of premium LED fixtures through a multi-tier channel: a direct Italian agency network covering 13 regions, complemented by international distributors covering 50+ countries — including Twicebright (USA/Canada exclusive), Vermeer VerLicht (Netherlands), WALCARIUS (Belgium), Les Lumieres Du Pacifique (France), and Luce Design (Latin America). GTM leans on specification selling via architects and lighting designers, supported by participation in the three flagship global lighting trade shows (Euroluce Milan, Light+Building Frankfurt, LEDucation New York), an extensive web project portfolio, and social media presence. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; sales are handled through regional agents and direct sales support from Puraluce HQ for international territories. Puraluce is bootstrapped and founder-owned with 1-10 employees, has received European regional development funding (POR FESR Toscana 2014-2020) for internationalization, and announced 147 new commercial partnerships in March 2026 alongside a US market entry via the Ricca Rodeo Drive showroom and a Twicebright exclusive.
