About Bissinger Lights
Bissinger Lights is a sole proprietorship based in Sandhausen near Heidelberg, specialising in LED step lighting. The company plans, manufactures, supplies and installs step profiles, flush-mounted luminaires, stage edge lighting and seat row indicators as coordinated system solutions with 24 V power supply, DMX/DALI control and project-specific emergency operation. Production is made to measure: the SL1, SL2, SLR, SLD and BL profile families are adapted to the respective installation situation for new builds, renovations and retrofits; recessed luminaires and POM light lines made of plastic follow the staircase geometry, including curves and special geometries. For mobile and temporary grandstands, Bissinger Lights supplies plug-in systems with pre-assembled, labelled cable assemblies and potted profiles. The company has had experience in this specialist field since 2009 and has traded under its current name since 2017; more than 200 projects and supply contracts are documented, including Metronom Theater Oberhausen, Stadthalle Heidelberg, Traumpalast Leonberg (IMAX) and ÖVB Arena Bremen.
