“Effective lighting really can transform a space.
By successfully bringing together different lighting elements, practical and decorative, it is possible to enhance the features of a space while adding depth and atmosphere at the same time as making it user-friendly. At Collingwood Lighting we aim to inspire our customers in their choice of lighting, helping them to maximise the potential of their projects.� - Rebecca Bannerman, Lighting Designer Collingwood Lighting
INTEGRITY
“Not only have I recommended Collingwood Lighting in the past, but I will continue recommending Collingwood Lighting furthermore. And this I am only doing if I am truly convinced by a partner, their trustworthiness and the products.� - Ulrich N. Brandl, Ulrichshof Rimbach
THE CENTRE OF COMPETENCE
A long tradition, 114 years of experience and the best perspectives make Collingwood Lighting a reliable partner. Perhaps the most significant breakthrough in Collingwood’s history was in 2001 when our present day chairman, Justin Maeers, recognised the potential of LEDs in the creation of light. So convinced was he that LEDs were the future of the lighting industry that he deviated completely from others in the industry and created the first dedicated LED lighting product. This revolutionised the lighting industry and shaped the way we see the lighting world today. Acting as our Chief Technical Engineer Justin continues to lead our team of exceptional designers who take on the challenge with passion and enable us to appear on the market with innovative top products.
