About SLV
SLV GmbH, headquartered in Übach-Palenberg, has been developing and distributing professional lighting solutions for residential, commercial and architectural projects for over 40 years. The portfolio includes indoor and outdoor luminaires, technical light and design solutions as well as system solutions such as NUMINOS®, the 48V track system, downlight series such as NEW TRIA® and UNIVERSAL DOWNLIGHT, and the commercial SLVtec® range for industry, office and retail. The products are tested in the company's own test laboratories from development through to production maturity and use materials such as aluminium, steel, stainless steel, copper, brass and various plastics (including polycarbonate and PMMA). SLV consistently thinks from the perspective of the electrical trade and supports projects with lighting design services, configurators and plugins for DIALux and RELUX.
