Carbon-fibre-reinforced semi-crystalline technopolymer guarantees excellent resistance to corrosion even in saline environments. This material’s composition makes the fixtures resistant to impact and sub-zero temperatures at the same time as having a thermal conductivity similar to that of stainless steel. The technopolymer’s high heat dissipation capability means the power supply unit can be housed inside the fixture.
Crafting light for life
Since 2007, at Luce&Light we have been designing LED fixtures for architectural and landscape lighting, with a strong focus on the reliability of our outdoor products and the quality of our service dedicated to designers and industry professionals.
Our company
Born in the future
It all began in Vicenza in 2007 with an ambitious idea: to apply LED technology to the architectural lighting sector and produce high-quality fixtures entirely made in Italy. Luce&Light was founded by Marco Celsan, Alfio Parise and Patrizia Framarin, who all came from the world of technical lighting. LED technology, as we know it today, was still in its infancy, and its adoption was far less widespread than that of other light sources used at the time. Within a few years, LEDs revolutionised the lighting sector, both technically and aesthetically. Curiosity and a passion for technology are still the driving forces behind our company, whose pioneering spirit has pushed it to develop expertise in electronics, mechanics, optics, and materials science. Another reason why our solutions illuminate projects by the most important international architects and lighting designers.

Our Know-how
An LED-native company
We came into being with specific expertise in semiconductors, and, thanks to our combined technical and design skills, we saw the potential of LEDs to transform light. Over time, this expertise has consolidated into a mission to illuminate and enhance architectural spaces with innovative, high-quality solutions, the fruits of advanced technology and a responsible ethos. Thanks to an in-house team of highly qualified designers and technicians, we follow every phase of the process, from design and prototyping to testing and full batch production. Innovation abounds in every detail: in our patented protection systems; our selection of LEDs and materials; and the design of optics, such as our very narrow 2°. But, above all, innovation is constantly present in every process, like the technological developments we have learnt to keep pace with.
Light Architecture
Our collections
From a building façade to a public or residential garden. From the top of a skyscraper to underwater applications. From domestic living to urban spaces. Luce&Light is synonymous with multi-dimensional architectural lighting.
Passionate about environmental challenges, Outdoor represents the core of our design identity. For over twenty years, outdoor lighting has been central to our research and innovation. The Outdoor collection includes a complete range of professional LED fixtures, designed to ensure maximum reliability in every architectural and urban context: from accent lights to powerful floodlights, from step lights to linear profiles.
Where architecture meets landscape, our Landscape collection comes into play: bollards of various powers, shapes, and sizes, and flexible, high-performance, and discreet solutions, designed to integrate into natural contexts and enhance greenery in a subtle and sustainable way.
Similarly, our Underwater proposals offer maximum reliability even in submerged environments: fixtures for permanent or temporary immersion, ideal for pools, fountains, spas, and aquatic installations, including brackish water.
Finally, with the Indoor collection, Luce&Light brings its expertise to interior environments: visual comfort, high color rendering index, and optics designed to enhance every type of space, from residential to hospitality, from retail to museums, from offices to places of worship.
As experts in LED solutions for indoor and outdoor, we also develop custom products to meet the specific needs of architects, lighting designers, and planners worldwide.
Technical design
This involves not only the design and study of lighting performance but also the careful research and selection of LEDs and raw materials, an essential part of ensuring our products’ high quality and long-term reliability.
Research and development laboratories
All the lighting fixtures under development undergo scrupulous photometric, mechanical, thermal and resistance tests in our laboratories.
In-house production
Our in-house mechanical and electronic production cycle in Vicenza allows us to maintain a high level of quality and meet delivery times, and to readily satisfy the demand for customized solutions.
End of line testing on all fixtures before shipment
All our lighting fixtures are tested and approved with EoL (End of Line) testing, with function tests and power-consumption parameter checks.
Pre- and post-sales services
We provide exceptional support to all our customers in the sales and after-sales stages through our international customer care team. Our attentiveness and willingness to help also enable us to suggest customized solutions.
Our technical processes
Quality that stands the test of time
Careful material choices and meticulous painting processes ensure that the function and appearance of our lighting fixtures remain unchanged, even when exposed to adverse atmospheric and environmental conditions.
-
Technopolymer
-
Glass
The cover of underwater fixtures is entirely composed of glass with a thickness of up to 16 mm and vitrified serigraphy for maximum impact resistance (IK10). It guarantees corrosion resistance and means the fixtures can even be used in seawater. In addition, the glass allows the fixtures to blend into the lining of pools and fountains to the point where they disappear, leaving only their light output visible.
-
AISI 316L stainless steel
Our fixtures in AISI 316L stainless steel, the most corrosion-resistant steel alloy, can withstand both alkaline (saline environments) and acidic (chlorinated pools) corrosion.
-
Surface preparation
Conversion coating with ceramic nanoparticles, which increases corrosion resistance and improves paint adhesion.
-
Epoxy paint
Offers outstanding adhesion to the treated surface, creating a protective base with excellent corrosion resistance.
-
Polyester paint
Adheres to the epoxy paint, creating a layer up to 120 μm thick and giving the finish UV and weather resistance.
The paints used comply with Qualicoat specifications (automotive standard)
-
Salt-spray testing
-
Paint thickness testing
-
Electrical protection system
Protects indoor fixtures against electrical problems.
This patented L&L innovation guarantees electrical protection against polarity reversal, hot plugging and voltage spikes of up to 48Vdc, which can occur if there are faults in the electrical circuit.
-
Intelligent protection system
Protects outdoor and underwater lighting fixtures from water infiltrations in case of faulty junctions between the cables.
This innovation also guarantees electrical protection against polarity reversal, hot plugging, ESD and voltage spikes, which can occur if there are faults in the electrical circuit.
-
Protective Impedance Device
Protects lighting fixtures from electrical phenomena external to the system, such as static electricity accumulation or electromagnetic interference coming from the mains power. Generally, these are events with a low energy content.
-
Surge Protection Device
Protects lighting fixtures from electrical phenomena external to the system, such as power surges. This device is specifically for protection against serious events with a high energy content.
-
Temperature control built in (NTC)
An NTC thermistor mounted on the LED board that protects the product against overheating. If the product is operating at a temperature higher than the maximum temperature it is designed for, the thermistor gradually reduces the power. It allows the built-in electronic parts to cool down and prevents the device from instantly switching itself off. When the temperature returns to normal, it restores the lighting fixture’s original operating conditions.
Why you can trust L&L
Our company is certified to ISO 9001, the international standard that assesses corporate quality management systems. In addition, we have the necessary product conformity certification for the sale and export of lighting fixtures to specific markets or countries.
