About AEC ILLUMINAZIONE
AEC ILLUMINAZIONE is a family-owned company in the lighting industry, founded in Italy in 1957 and still owner-managed, and is today the Italian market leader in public LED street lighting. The product range includes LED pole-mounted luminaires, cable-suspended luminaires, pedestrian crossing luminaires, floodlights and area floodlights, tunnel luminaires as well as decorative urban lighting and historical luminaires. The housings are made of die-cast aluminium or stainless steel, with covers made of toughened safety glass (ESG) and an environmentally friendly powder coating; production is highly automated at the company's own factory in Italy. The company invests around €10 million per year in manufacturing and development and operates two DEKRA-certified photometric laboratories with an integrating sphere (Ulbricht sphere) and a goniophotometer. Customers include cities and municipalities, energy utilities, architecture and planning offices, retail, electrical installers and businesses. The German sales and office location is in Neu-Anspach; reference projects range from Milan and Berlin to Sydney, Singapore, Dubai and London.

Additional services
Quality & Testing
All luminaires are manufactured at the company's own plant in Italy and tested in two DEKRA-certified, independent photometric laboratories – including IP protection rating, IK rating, thermal behavior up to 50 °C, corrosion resistance (salt spray test) and electrical safety. Photometric, radiometric and colorimetric measurements are performed with an integrating sphere / Ulbricht sphere (IES LM-79) and a goniophotometer (IEC EN 62471); regular inspections by DEKRA, UL and Analytical Cetace ensure compliance with standards.
