Glamox Lighting

Glamox, a world leader in lighting, has launched a family of outdoor wall-mounted luminaires with a difference. The new luminaires, aimed at commercial and public buildings, are vandal-resistant and have a special dark sky-certified version. The latter allows people to navigate safely while helping to limit light pollution that impacts the night-time environment - good news for nocturnal species and astronomers.

The Glamox O21-W wall light uses a design that supports a circular economy which is the opposite of the throwaway society. The luminaire is made to be disassembled so that parts may be replaced to prolong the luminaire’s life or reused or recycled at the end of life.

The O21-W is ideal for lighting commercial and residential building perimeters and entrances. Manchester Royal Infirmary and Beaulieu Primary School are two customers that have ordered it for that purpose. The wall light comes in a variety of lumen outputs, colour temperatures, sizes, and has a variety of sensor and control options. See the specification and images.

“We opted for an engaging compact design with features to facilitate speedy installation,” said Paul Fisher, Luminaires Product Manager Commercial at Glamox. “It is environmentally friendly, not only in helping customers to drive down their electricity bills by using LED technology but also in its use of recycled aluminium. We designed it for possible disassembly, supporting the design principles for a circular economy and we have a dark sky-certified version too.”

School of Hard Knocks​

The new luminaire is made from diecast aluminium of which around 45% is from recycled aluminium, and has a polycarbonate diffuser. The luminaire can withstand up to 20 joules of impact – the equivalent of having a 5 kg ball dropped from a height of 40 cm – enough to withstand school playground knocks and all but the most persistent vandal.

Dark Sky version​

The dark sky variant has a warm colour temperature of 3000 K and uses special optics to further restrict light spillage. This helps to avoid light pollution which can negatively impact wildlife species and plants, as artificial light can disturb the way they perceive daytime and night-time, upsetting their natural behaviour.

The wall light has been formally certified by Dark Sky International. This body comprises more than 2,000 volunteer advocates around the world who are dedicated to protecting the night sky. One of its jobs is to certify commercial, industrial, and residential outdoor lighting that reduces light pollution.

The O21 family of wall lights are made by Glamox in Basingstoke, in the United Kingdom, and exported across Europe.

Glamox Germany is marking a significant milestone this year - its 50th anniversary. Since its establishment in Hamburg in 1974, the German sales company has provided sustainable lighting solutions that enhance human performance and well-being.

In 1974, Germany is under the spell of two great successes - winning the soccer World Cup and the Eurovision success of Abba. In the same year, the Glamox began its success story in Germany. Initially based in Hamburg and primarily a supplier of lighting solutions for ships and maritime facilities, Glamox GmbH moved to Frankfurt as the domestic construction boom began. One of its first major prestigious projects was equipping a 45-storey tower block with 12,000 luminaires, all of which was supplied directly from the parent factory in Molde, Norway. As early as 1975, Glamox Germany participated as an exhibitor at the Hanover Fair.

Since then, the German sales location, now with its headquarters in Hildesheim and a branch in Bremen, has continued to develop and is now an important partner for customers from various sectors, including office buildings, educational institutions, healthcare and industry.

Glamox is optimistic about the future for the entire German-speaking region and looks forward to continuing to offer innovative lighting solutions that meet the needs and requirements of customers in the years to come.

ES-SYSTEM sp. z o.o. has changed its name and company brand to Glamox. This change, effective today, underlines the Glamox brand’s growing power, the development of Glamox’s Polish business, and its commitment to continued growth in Poland. The new company name is Glamox sp. z o.o.. This latest move follows the recent rebranding of Glamox companies in the UK and Switzerland.

ES-SYSTEM, founded in 1990, provides quality energy-efficient LED luminaires, including connected luminaires and light management systems for controlling them. The lighting products and systems are aimed at professional and commercial buildings such as offices, industrial buildings, warehouses, schools, universities, retail stores, and hospitals. Glamox acquired the company in December 2019. Today, Glamox sp. z o.o. employs around 700 people in Poland and has its headquarters in Krakow. It has nine sales branches nationwide and a European distribution and logistics centre in Poznań. In addition, two production facilities in Dobczyce and Wilkasy were renamed and rebranded Glamox in March 2018 and November 2023 respectively.

“We are excited about this development which signifies a new name and the continued strengthening and support of our offerings. The branding reaffirms our commitment to our customers and helps strengthen our local presence with an expanded portfolio backed by the global expertise of the Glamox Group,” said Rafał Dorywalski, Commercial Director at ES-SYSTEM. “Our focus is on our customers and we will continue to be their trusted partner, providing the same local team, commitment to quality, and personalised support that they’ve always enjoyed.”

“Poland plays a crucial role within the Glamox organisation, accounting for around one-third of our employees globally,” said Nina Hol, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer for the Glamox Group. “Since August 2023, all newly developed ES-SYSTEM products have been branded Glamox. The ES-SYSTEM brand will continue to be used for existing branded products but will eventually disappear over time. The change of the company branding was the next logical step. Awareness of the Glamox brand has grown significantly in the past few years and we seek to fully leverage and maximise this globally. ES-SYSTEM is the third Glamox company to change its name and rebrand in recent months.”

Glamox Luxonic in the United Kingdom and Küttel in Switzerland adopted the Glamox company branding on 3 April and 22 May respectively.

As part of the Glamox Group, Glamox sp. z o. o.has long shared the same commitment to excellence and innovation, with high levels of quality and sustainability across its product range. Leading products manufactured in Poland include the FX65 FLOW, COSMO FX, ARIS emergency light, and GECO luminaires. Major projects involving its luminaires and light management systems include the Kraków Cloth Hall (Sukiennice), Wieliczka Salt Mine, the Wroclavia, Galeria Krakowska and Złote Tarasy shopping centres in Poland, the Oslo Opera House in Norway, and the Svinesund Bridge in Sweden/Norway.

Glamox has won a contract to light two Vinga series vessels, regarded as the most advanced high-end intermediate-sized chemical tankers in the world, owned and operated by Sweden’s Furetank AB. Glamox will provide complete outdoor and indoor marine LED lighting for its two latest vessels in the series.

“Furetank is committed to sustainable shipping and helping our customers to decarbonise their supply chain. Our decision to expand the Vinga series is down to the scarcity of environmentally friendly alternatives in the market,” said Furetank chief executive Lars Höglund. “This latest order makes Glamox our lighting partner for the past 19 vessels out of 22 we’ve commissioned in the series. Its product quality, reliability, and focus on sustainability make it a natural partner for us.”

“We share Furetank’s commitment to decarbonising the seas and our energy-efficient lighting will enable the vessels to save fuel and support the company’s emission reduction ambitions,” said Tommy Stranden, Chief Sales and Commercial Officer of Glamox’s Marine, Offshore & Wind business. “Each vessel will be fitted with around 800 LED lights that will not only save energy and fuel costs but require around two-thirds less maintenance than conventional marine lighting due to their long life. This represents another important cost saving.”

The two new vessels, like their sisters, have a dual-fuel capability and run on liquefied natural gas/liquefied biogas or gasoil. They also incorporate features that reduce fuel and energy consumption, resulting in much lower emissions of CO2, nitrogen oxide, sulphur oxide, and hazardous particles. The vessels have scored the best Energy Efficiency Design Index or EEDI value in their segment globally, meaning that they are the most energy-efficient vessels according to the International Maritime Organization.

Glamox will provide for each vessel navigation lights - Series 75, deck lights, explosion-proof lighting - TX60 LED, flood lights - RLX C G2 Floodlight, and searchlights - SL40 R5 Xenon. It will also provide all manner of lighting for the interior of the vessel, including lighting for the engine room, storage rooms and passageways, corridors, galley, bridge, and crew quarters. Included in the lighting package are marine-certified luminaires made in Molde, Norway.

The environmentally-friendly Vinga tankers are Ice Class 1A with a 16,300-deadweight ton (dwt) and designed by Furetank and FKAB Marine Design. They are being built by China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Yangzhou) Dingheng Co. Ltd, at its shipyard in Yangzhou, China, where it will also install the lighting. The vessels will be delivered at the end of 2026 and the beginning of 2027 respectively. They will then enter into the Gothia Tanker Alliance and be operated by Furetank out of Gothenburg.

The marine-certified LED lighting for the two new vessels will be delivered in Q3, 2025.

Glamox, a world leader in lighting, today announced that its UK company, which is branded ‘Glamox Luxonic’, has changed its company brand name to ‘Glamox’, effective today. The change recognises the growing power of the Glamox brand, the development of the UK business, particularly over the last five years, and the group’s commitment to continued growth in the UK.

Glamox, which has been present in the UK market since 1967, acquired the Luxonic Group Ltd in April 2019. The UK company has a production facility in Basingstoke, England, where it manufactures indoor and outdoor LED luminaires for commercial buildings, offices, schools, and industrial buildings. Increasingly, its Basingstoke plant is producing luminaires that are being marketed and sold not only in the UK but across Glamox’s main European markets.

“We see strong growth in the UK lighting market in the years ahead. At the same time, we now have the scale and capabilities to support the global group,” said David Hunt, Managing Director of Glamox’s UK business. “We have huge knowledge and expertise in the UK market, supported by a best-in-class manufacturing facility, so the time is right to simplify our brand name and leverage the growing awareness of the Glamox brand.”

“The Luxonic brand will continue to be used for existing branded products but will eventually disappear over time as all the new products are branded Glamox,” said Nina Hol, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer for the Glamox Group. “From a practical sense, nothing changes for our customers and partners. They will continue to enjoy the quality products and services they are used to.”

Glamox Luxonic’s customers tend to be consultants and contractors. End-user customers include BNP Paribas Bank, Heathrow Airport, Bloomberg, Amazon, Astra Zeneca, Booking.com, British Airways, Bank of England, McLaren Automotive, Ford, ABP ports, and Scottish Power, to name a few.

Glamox Luxonic’s legal name will change later this year.

There was a lot of interest in Glamox’s latest Scandinavian designer luminaires during the Light + Building trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany, earlier this month. Glamox showcased its latest additions to its Luxo Nordic Collection and Motus range of designer LED luminaires.

Since our iconic Luxo L-1 desk lamp of 1937, the Luxo brand has been synonymous with applying these design principles to lighting professional workspaces. This series of pendants is living proof that elegant design can be done without the expense of professional quality and high light comfort,” said Andreas Eliasson, Luxo Product Manager for Glamox’s Professional Building Solutions business.

All the above products are available now across Europe.

Glamox is replicating its success in lighting European offshore windfarms with three separate orders for LED lighting for the turbine foundation transition pieces for three fixed offshore windfarms in Taiwan and South Korea.

“The energy transition from offshore hydrocarbons to renewable power presents us with huge opportunities,” said Tommy Stranden, Chief Commercial & Sales Officer of Glamox’s Marine, Offshore & Wind business. “We lead the way globally in lighting wind farms and are seeing strong interest in our LED lighting portfolio worldwide. We’ve been lighting offshore structures for around 50 years and are unique in providing a one-stop-shop for technical lighting for wind farms and their installation and support vessels.”

All three contracts are for lighting offshore wind turbine foundation transition pieces. These steel structures connect the wind turbines to their monopile foundations. The transition piece helps with the alignment of the turbine tower. It protects the foundation from corrosion and is equipped with access components such as platforms, ladders, and boat landing systems. It must therefore be well-lit for access and maintenance and requires lighting that is capable of withstanding harsh marine conditions.

Glamox announced the following contracts:

Hai Long Wind Farm 2 and 3, Taiwan: wind farm with an installed capacity of 1,044 MW, located 40-50 km offshore in the Taiwan Strait at depths of 35-55 m. Glamox was awarded a contract from SK Oceanplant, the Korean fabricator, to provide 468 linear Glamox TL60-1200 LED luminaires and 52 Glamox RLX80 floodlights to light 52 transition pieces. The installation of the lighting will be done by SK Oceanplant and is expected to be completed in Q2 of 2025.

Greater Changhua 2b and 4, Taiwan: wind farm with an installed capacity of 920 MW. Located 35-60 km offshore in the Taiwan Strait at depths of up to 42 m.
