About Schnick-Schnack-Systems
Schnick-Schnack-Systems has been a provider of professional LED effect lighting solutions and control technology based in Cologne for more than twenty years. The company manufactures custom, ready-to-use lighting solutions consisting of LED modules and luminaires as well as matching controllers for a variety of tasks. Its own factory in Cologne has production lines for electronics manufacturing, mechanical/profile fabrication, and potting technology with cleaning, plasma and vacuum technology. LED profiles are manufactured to customer specifications, among other things with lengths of 245 to 2495 mm, individual shapes, colors and mounting systems; for outdoor applications a UV-stable potting with IP67 ingress protection is used. The product range includes LED modules, controllers, power supplies, mounts, accessories and color management software (ColorConfigTool). Customers are exclusively professional users, mainly TV studios, architects, system integrators and event companies. Projects are realized internationally, including the Eurovision Song Contest, CERN, Frankfurt Airport and Rogers Arena Vancouver.
