Arcluce selected the Milan area to give life to its idea of light. It is here, in the premises of San Zenone al Lambro, where ideas are conceived, studied and developed into technical and design projects, and later realized in high-end light fittings for indoor and outdoor applications, all featuring excellent performances and a unique design to respond the needs and requirements of professional lighting design. The design phase, which is the first approach to the product, as well as the implementation of the optics, receive the same scrupulous attention. Our in-house labs rely on sophisticated equipment to study optics, detect temperatures and establish IP enclosure protection according to international standards. Intelligent light management includes energy efficiency, product durability and versatility , and easy maintenance. Above all, high lighting performances and clever enhancement of the spaces to be illuminated. Minimising the environmental impact means enhancing its characteristics, respecting its structures and making light a natural thing that harmoniously finds its place in the environment. An architectural space should always be planned with light in mind, as light does not play a secondary role, but is essential to the structure. Energy saving being research's main target led to the production of low-consumption high-efficiency luminaires. Current technologies allow us to give priority to the environment and, consequently, to light. The development of LED technology can achieve the aim of manufacturing increasingly smaller fittings through an increasingly wider range of lighting applications.
