What Evica does

Evica Ltd is a privately held UK-based LED lighting design and manufacturing company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. The company operates with 11-50 employees across three primary product lines: EP+ Gobo Projectors (IP65-rated indoor/outdoor projectors including EP20+, EP40+, EP40+ RGBW, EP80+, and SuperWide models with 60,000+ hour LED lifespan), ES12 Narrow Beam Spotlights (architectural and wall grazing lights with 2.8° to 60° beam angles using hybrid TIR Fresnel optics), and S Range Searchlights (S200 and S300 with up to 30,000 lumens output for maritime applications).

The company's competitive position rests on proprietary technology including the patented hybrid TIR Fresnel lens system, the PinPoint direct-drive servo stabilization platform (360°/second, 0.0055° positioning accuracy, NMEA 0183/2000 and AIS integration), TRIPLE S surveillance technology combining thermal/visible cameras with autonomous pan/tilt control, and proprietary IP67 force-cooled heatsink designs tested to GR487 salt fog standards. The firm also offers in-house custom 3D product design, prototyping, and manufacturing services, plus laser etching for branding and identification.

Evica operates a B2B/B2G go-to-market model combining project-based quote sales for custom solutions, direct enterprise sales via phone/email, and a self-serve e-commerce storefront (evicadirect.com) for standard products. Customers span maritime operations (offshore support vessels, super yachts, naval/patrol craft, fishing vessels, search and rescue teams), professional architectural lighting designers, and entertainment/events venues. Regional sales coverage extends to the UK, Italy, the Balkans, and Malta, with global maritime reach via specialized PinPoint sales channels.

A broad incumbent that competes with Evica's architectural and outdoor fixtures on price and scale.
• Martin Professional (HARMAN Professional): Architectural and entertainment lighting major offering gobo projectors, moving heads, and LED fixtures comparable to Evica's EP+ range. Sells through global distribution to lighting designers and integrators, overlapping with Evica's architectural and event vertical but at much broader scale.
• Hubbell Lighting: US industrial and commercial lighting group offering outdoor area lights, floodlights, and hazardous-location fixtures used in industrial, marine, and infrastructure projects. A broad incumbent overlapping with Evica's industrial and outdoor luminaires at the larger-scale end of the market.
