About us, and good light for indoors and outdoors
approach to the development of new luminaires and new product ideas. Long
before the term sustainability became a mere advertising slogan, we attached
importance to careful design and the intelligent use of our raw materials.
Sustainable resource management and the creation of exemplary production
facilities for man and the environment have been our basic entrepreneurial
principles since the very beginning, and are not just necessary modules in
modern company philosophies.
For a long service life and operational reliability, our care in development and
manufacture must also be continued in expert installation and maintenance
by the electrical trade. Our daily work is determined by our high standards
in lighting technology, workmanship and usability as well as in the aesthetic
quality of our luminaires. Our common goal is to create durable assets which
will remain timeless in terms of design, even after decades.
Our luminaires are intended to fit in harmoniously as good construction details
and as part of the architecture, and perform their tasks for many years.
Their light should underline the architecture, set the scene atmospherically
or convincingly, or simply maintain its plastic appearance at night.
Our luminaires are lighting tools for the many different design ideas of all those
who plan and design with light.
Our group of companies with our brands BEGA, GLASHÜTTE LIMBURG
and BOOM has been managed by the same owners right from the start,
and stands for outstanding indoor and outdoor lighting solutions. We have
now decided to merge our three brands under the brand name BEGA to
better serve our market segment.
For almost seventy years now, BEGA has been developing and producing
high-quality luminaires for almost all areas of architecture.
These years have given rise to products whose ideas and trademarks have
become generic terms for countless luminaires in the entire industry.
For example, we have had the Light Brick Lichtbaustein® trademark for over
50 years.
For more than 40 years, we have been working intensively on illumination from
ground level. We had a formative influence on many of the current standards
according to which the quality of this group of luminaires is judged. We know
the extreme conditions which outdoor luminaires have to face up to. They are
exposed to dirt, atmospheric influences and extreme temperature fluctuations.
They have to stand up to enormous stress more than other luminaires.
For more than 40 years we have been developing and producing indoor
luminaires in our glassworks in Limburg. Throughout this time our develop-
ment and design work has been driven by our fascination for glass with
its countless facets. Being able to fall back on our own glass production
when new ideas for outdoor and indoor luminaires are being implemented
has always been a major advantage for us. For example, we can design
our luminaire glass according to our own quality standards and lighting
requirements.
For the production of our outdoor and indoor luminaires, we created the best
conditions ourselves. They were not the consequence of any set of rules, but
the result of our learning process and a fixed component of our idea of quality.
Know-how, experience and a constant willingness to learn define our daily
