Lighting for art and culture
Fascinating // Protective // Inspiring
Light transforms how we perceive spaces. In exhibitions and cultural venues, it creates atmospheres, directs attention and makes content come alive. Our lighting solutions illuminate art and architecture precisely, gently and sustainably – with a refined sense for colours, shapes and textures. The balanced combination of daylight and artificial light imparts identity to spaces, promotes interaction and leaves a lasting impression.
Art, design and architecture are core components of our corporate culture. Collaborating with outstanding artists broadens our horizons, poses new challenges, and ignites beauty and emotions.

Our lighting projects in art and culture
Perfectly presented
Only through light do museums and cultural sites come alive and become an unforgettable experience. The perfect presentation of paintings, photographs, sculptures or archaeological artifacts requires a profound understanding of the spatial context and the curatorial concept. Successful lighting concepts for art and culture unite the four dimensions of light – direction, intensity, colour and time – into a harmonious overall experience.
Signage and narration
Light narrates stories. It draws attention, creates accents and brings exhibitions to life. With targeted lighting, you create clear focus areas that structure the space and intuitively guide visitors. Different lighting moods reflect architectural features and foster an emotional connection – for a more immersive art experience and clear spatial perception.
tunableWhite
Artistic works require different light colours and intensities for an authentic presentation, made possible with tunableWhite technology and variable light emission. High white-light quality and precise adjustments improve colour rendering and enhance the immersive effect of the artworks.
IoT in art and culture
Digital solutions and virtual art spaces make hidden artworks accessible. An advanced lighting infrastructure with IoT technology allows visitors to locate exhibits with ease, optimises visitor guidance and efficiently adjusts the lighting.
Intelligent lighting control for connected buildings
Smart building solutions enable efficient and intelligent building technology networking, optimising power consumption and enhancing comfort. The LITECOM lighting management system, for example, allows you to flexibly control lighting with an app to meet individual needs throughout the building.
Spaces without limits
With the right lighting, indoor and outdoor spaces blend together, and architecture transforms into a seamless experience. Effective lighting concepts consider not only interior spaces but also establish connections to outdoor areas. Well-conceived lighting design highlights the architecture, shapes public cultural venues and creates seamless transitions between interior and exterior. This synergy of light and architecture enhances the overall experience for the visitors.
Illuminate and preserve
Innovative lighting solutions protect valuable artworks and historic buildings, while reducing energy costs. Efficient lighting solutions must consider sensitive materials, valuable artworks and historic buildings. Modern LED technologies offer energy-efficient solutions that preserve artworks while slashing power consumption. Protect your exhibits and your energy costs in one go.
Sustainability
Preserve art, conserve resources
Sustainable lighting preserves the timeless beauty of artworks and cultural treasures by integrating maximum energy efficiency with cutting-edge lighting controls. Refurbishment strategies and efficient building technologies help to minimise your environmental footprint, without affecting the quality of the presentation. These innovative solutions not only ensure responsible resource management, but also guarantee long-term preservation of cultural experiences to the highest standard. Preserve artistic heritage in all its splendour for generations to come.
