Schréder

As the leading independent outdoor lighting solution provider worldwide, we believe that lighting can empower people, impact lives, support communities, and transform spaces, cities and the planet. We are experts at using light to its fullest potential, to bring meaningful moments to people in public spaces. We bring meaningful moments to people by enhancing safety, well-being and sustainability in public spaces.

We’ve spent over 100 years refining our approach to lighting. This experience equips us to develop solutions that are as positive for people as they are sustainable for the environment and for businesses. Our unparalleled experience in lighting city centres, roads, bridges, tunnels, buildings and workspaces enables us to develop solutions for tomorrow's needs. We connect global expertise with a local perspective to build legacies for future generations. Our strength lies in the depth of our technical expertise which enables us to provide aesthetical, practical and sustainable solutions to the most complex challenges for customers in a variety of markets.

Equipped with an intimate understanding of local heritage and culture, we plan, design, manage and engineer long lasting and impactful solutions to help communities thrive. Our engineering teams drive our product development both on standard and custom lighting solutions. While we have an extensive range of luminaires, brackets and poles to enhance urban spaces, every town and city has its own identity. Regularly, we are asked to design and develop bespoke luminaires that draw on our century of experience to create something unique. The scale and ambition of these projects require close collaboration between multiple disciplines which our Schréder Studio division ensures.

Our team of experts design luminaires to suit our customers ambitions. We use the latest 3D modelling software to put together visualisation packages to support and help our teams explore their project. By creating 3D models, not only are we resolving the mechanical design, we can also render visualisations of both custom units and placing products in context.

Our thermal designers cooperate in detail to ensure the best thermal management for the chosen electronic components of the luminaire while our electronic engineers incorporate the most suitable components and electrical schemes. Our team of mechanical and electrical engineers can deliver everything from full electrical designs, voltage drop calculations, O&M manuals, bill of materials and configuration management.

It is critical that our products are fully tested and meet all the necessary standards. We look to test IK and IP ratings, tests against international standards (CE, ENEC, roHS, UL/ETL…) thermal analysis, electrical safety and perform photobiological testing.
