Proton Lighting

Proton Lighting develops and sells lighting solutions of every shape and form – for industry, offices, schools, homes, shops etc. We have more than 70 years’ experience of lighting public spaces. We are best known for our Exaktor brand. Our strong points are function, design, flexibility and a strong commitment to the environment. Our well-established modular approach means we can deliver personally-adapted total solutions with good total lifetime costs.

Perhaps you know us best by the brand name Exaktor. Exaktor was founded in Stockholm back in 1945. In 1947 we moved to Oxelösund, and ten years later to our current location in Värnamo. In those days we manufactured electric heaters, but we gradually moved to lighting and light fittings. Over the years Exaktor developed into a strong brand with a focus on technical light fittings for industry, offices and OEMs.

In 1999 Exaktor was acquired by Proton Group. The Exaktor company became Proton Lighting, using the brand name Exaktor. A significantly broader base, and with even greater opportunities. Since then we have grown vigorously. Consistent investment in knowledge-in-depth regarding lighting has contributed to our success. New products and exciting new technologies have meant that we have grown both in Sweden and abroad. We have established a subsidiary company, Proton Lighting Suomi Oy, in Finland.

Apart from our head office in Värnamo, we also have our own Swedish sales offices in Stockholm, Kungsbacka, Malmö, Örebro and Sundsvall. All manufacturing still takes place in Värnamo, where we have also established an ultra-modern laboratory for product verification. Here we can quickly and professionally perform lighting calculations on behalf of you and our other customers.
