What dvconsulting does

Construluz is a privately held Costa Rican company that provides lighting design consulting, product specification, and LED luminaire distribution for architectural and commercial projects. Its service offering spans advisory, design, and specification, with professionals integrating into client project teams and using BIM, DIALUX, and REVIT tooling to produce photometric calculations and lighting plans that prioritize aesthetics, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance. The company also distributes certified lighting hardware through its master distributor relationship with MaxLite and offers its own AKKU-branded solar LED luminaires, Softlight UV-C air disinfection units, Fraunhofer IPA-certified clean room LED panels, COB LED strips, and emergency lighting products.

The company's technology stack centers on LED hardware and design software rather than software platforms: in-house R&D produced the Softlight UV-C sealed-chamber disinfection luminaire (claimed 99.9999% SARS-CoV-2 deactivation), while distributed and proprietary products carry UL, ETL Intertek, and Fraunhofer IPA certifications. No APIs, SDKs, or software products are offered.

Commercially, Construluz operates a sales-led model in which professional advisors sell directly to architects, engineers, construction firms, hospitality operators, healthcare facilities, and residential clients in Costa Rica. Revenue comes from project-based professional services (lighting design and specification, priced via quote per project) and from hardware sales (LED fixtures, solar lamps, UV-C units, clean room panels, and consumer products via an e-commerce storefront priced between $8 and $350). The company is founder/owner-operated with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors.

Regional players

• Tecnolite: Tecnolite is a Mexican lighting brand with a Costa Rica office (cited as a partner of Construluz). It offers a similar mix of lighting products and specification support across Latin America, making it one of the closest regional comparables in business model and geography.
• Construlita: Construlita is a Mexican lighting manufacturer and distributor with a comparable design-services-plus-product model serving commercial and architectural projects across Latin America, directly mirroring Construluz's hybrid approach.

Broad incumbents

• Signify (Philips Lighting): Signify is the global leader in lighting products, systems, and services. It competes with Construluz on the product side (LED fixtures, drivers, connected lighting) and serves many of the same commercial, hospitality, and healthcare segments globally.
• Acuity Brands: Acuity Brands is a major North American lighting and building solutions provider offering commercial luminaires, controls, and lighting services. It competes broadly in the industrial/commercial lighting categories where Construluz operates.
• GE Current (a DIALux partner): GE Current is a global commercial lighting and digital signage provider serving offices, retail, industrial, and healthcare — segments overlapping with Construluz's project portfolio and tooling ecosystem (DIALUX).
• Eaton (Cooper Lighting Solutions): Cooper Lighting, part of Eaton, supplies commercial, industrial, and outdoor lighting solutions plus connected lighting controls. Its product breadth and project-scale channels overlap with Construluz's commercial and industrial lighting supply.
• Hubbell Lighting: Hubbell Lighting manufactures commercial, industrial, and outdoor luminaires for the same architectural, commercial, and infrastructure segments as Construluz, and is a typical alternative supplier competing for the same specification wins.
• Cree Lighting (a Wolfspeed/IDEAL INDUSTRIES brand): Cree Lighting specializes in LED luminaires for commercial, industrial, and outdoor applications, with strong LED-centric positioning. It is a comparable LED-first brand competing in Construluz's industrial/commercial lighting product categories.

Direct peers

It is comparable on Construluz's AKKU solar LED product line and emerging-market off-grid/weak-grid lighting thesis, though with a very different go-to-market and customer profile.
