What asselum luminotecnics sl does

Asselum Luminotecnics SL is a Spain-based photometric testing laboratory and lighting engineering consultancy headquartered in Sabadell, Barcelona. Founded in 2002, the company operates an ENAC-accredited laboratory (#1321/LE2474) that performs photometric, colorimetric, and photobiological safety testing of LED lamps, modules, and luminaires in accordance with UNE EN 13032-4, IES LM-79, IES LM-82, TM-21, and UNE-EN/IEC 62471 standards. Its core technology stack comprises goniophotometers, integrating spheres (ULBRICHT), spectroradiometers (including handheld UPRtek and Everfine units), luminance meters, flicker analyzers, and optical radiation safety test systems, supported by a proprietary color and spectrum measurement system that captures chromatic data at multiple C and Gamma angles. A metrologically traceable calibration laboratory services luxometers, luminance meters, and spectroradiometers.

The company's revenue model blends seven distinct streams: accredited laboratory testing (per-test fees), instrument calibration (service fees), specialized training courses (in-person and online), distribution of international measurement instruments (UPRtek, GOSSEN, Everfine) and lighting design software (LITESTAR 4D by OxyTech, TracePro), lighting project consulting, and energy audits. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Asselum serves luminaire and lamp manufacturers, lighting designers and engineering firms, facility owners and operators, and lighting professionals — primarily in Spain but with international expansion underway via the ACCIÓ International eTrade program.

The company has performed more than 10,000 photometric tests cumulatively and serves over 150 clients across hotels, restaurants, smart offices, museums, churches, and the lighting manufacturing sector. Its go-to-market combines direct B2B technical sales with channel partnerships (OxyTech, UPRtek, GOSSEN), supported by content marketing through a "Technical Corner," webinars, industry event participation (Light + Building Frankfurt), and joint training programs with CICAT and Barcelona Activa. In 2024, Asselum secured an EU grant for digitalization of testing workflows and an ACCIÓ subsidy for international expansion, and it has entered R&D collaboration with JVV Group on smart lighting controls and IoT connectivity.
