Making a Splash with FILI X FILIX
Lighting is, at their core, an electrical engineering company that began in Croatia in the 1980s. As LED technology began to improve over time and eventually became the new standard, they took their engineering knowledge and experience to develop unique lighting solutions for the industry. What stands out amongst these solutions is their development of underwater lighting solutions and designs. I sat down with FILIX CEO, Marko Jurman, to gain more insight into their development and conceptualization of their underwater lighting designs. Q: Why have you chosen to specialize in underwater lighting solutions?
