Setga

Since the very beginning, SETGA has been the meeting point of bold engineers whose lives have been fully dedicated to exploring new ways to combine lighting, communications, electronics and design. Their research work in various institutions, universities and companies has led to the creation of light solutions which are capable of responding to contemporary challenges.

As a result of this, a small team was created that had the ability to challenge technological uncertainty. The instinct for self-improvement, talent and passion prevailed over the inertia of the status quo at that time. Over the years, the stability and low turnover of its human team transformed the initial vocation into consolidated experience, while the continued incorporation of promising professionals accelerated the company’s level of technical specialisation.

Its growing international presence across 15 countries is the result of renouncing industrial globalisation to respond to global diversity. This contradiction has allowed us to be part of some of the most emblematic and representative projects of the world scene, from the centre of Amsterdam to the most important port in Europe, via the capital of fashion. In total over 5,100 new urban realities on three continents, small steps towards a liveable future, capable of transforming light as a universal language into a means to express the uniqueness of one’s identity.

That is why, throughout the history of SETGA, design and technology has always acquired a dimension adapted to the heterogeneity of public space.

Public spaces tend to optimise the homogeneous, experiencing how their personality is diluted in a globalised environment where a sense of belonging loses its roots. The search for urban authenticity is therefore a path that determines the most sensitive factors to the essence of each city. Engineers, architects and lighting designers capable of converting standardised environments
Into icons of collective memory.

Since our inception, the collaboration with multiple professionals from these fields has helped us to understand how diversity can drive honest and human co-innovation. After decades of continuous research, in 2015 all SETGA's public lighting series culminated their final transition to LED technology. In this new era, efficiency and effectiveness have to go together. Therefore, energy saving, visual comfort and urban avant-garde converge to build increasingly habitable cities. The wide range of materials and transformation technologies applied by Setga in the manufacture of columns and anchoring systems, contributes to provide adequate responses to the requirements of each environment in terms of strength, durability and aesthetic balance.

Unleashing the scenic soul of architectural lighting. COLOURCOMPACT® LED optoelectronic technology has been developed and manufactured by SETGA for compact and dynamic control of the colour spectrum in order to combine the full potential of ornamental and scenic lighting in elements of high architectural or heritage value. The main technological contribution of COLOURCOMPACT® to the state of the art in the industry has consisted of achieving the chromatic compaction of colour models based on additive synthesis, thus avoiding the visual perception of the primary colours in the mixing process by addition of the four diodes (Red, Green, Blue, White) encapsulated in each optical unit.
