Product quality
The high quality requirements of our products are ever present throughout the company - whether it's in-house production or trade products. This means that we work together only with well-known partners. Our products are manufactured in accordance with the stringent European safety standard ENEC and also have to pass additional, exacting internal quality and function control procedures.

Expert advice
We attach great importance to working out the optimum lighting solution with our customers. Our in-house planning department supports you in all matters concerning lighting - regardless of whether you have a general question, need a light calculation or professional light planning. And even if you want us to build a special lamp just for you.

Service quality
Our employees speak foreign languages and also fluent "Technical". Our external partners are chosen according to their customer orientation and we have an internal team that works constantly on innovative service ideas. No matter how you come into contact with planlicht, the experience should be a pleasant one.
