Precision-engineered luminaire solutions certified for EN 12464-1 compliance, offering seamless DALI-2 integration, flicker-free drivers, and exceptional color fidelity (CRI > 90) tailored for wholesale distributors and B2B project contractors in Germany.
Since 1987, AF Lighting has evolved into a powerhouse of OEM/ODM decorative and architectural lighting production. Combining decades of engineering heritage with modern IoT integration, we supply high-performance luminaires to commercial projects, luxury hotels, and retail distributors across Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, and Berlin.
Our engineering division controls the complete production cycle—from CAD optical simulation and thermal design to rapid 3D prototyping and photometrical goniophotometer testing, ensuring exact compliance with German workplace illumination norms.
Every driver, PCB, and housing leaving our production line is fully certified for North American and European installation. We utilize UL/ETL listed components and CE-marked power supplies engineered for 220-240V 50Hz EU grids.
From single pallet boutique hotel orders to container-load retail fulfillment, our logistic infrastructure supports seamless customs handling into European ports (Hamburg/Rotterdam) with full SKUs traceability and buffer stock support.
Germany’s updated Building Energy Act (Gebäudeenergiegesetz - GEG) and the EU EcoDesign Directive (Directive 2009/125/EC) have placed stringent demands on commercial luminaires. Modern interior installations in German office buildings, industrial spaces, and public facilities must minimize energy density (Watts per square meter per 100 lux).
Our interior lighting solutions utilize ultra-high-efficacy LED chips operating up to 160 lm/W at module level. Combined with high power factor drivers (PF > 0.95) and minimal standby energy draw (< 0.5W), our fixtures assist German architectural projects in attaining DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen) and LEED Gold/Platinum sustainability certifications.
The German commercial interior market leads the world in adopting Human Centric Lighting (HCL). Under the revised DIN EN 12464-1 standard ("Light and lighting - Lighting of work places"), indoor lighting must do more than provide visual contrast; it must support circadian rhythms, reduce visual fatigue, and ensure uniform luminance.
Our architectural downlights, COB linear flex strips, and wall sconces are built with high Color Rendering Index (CRI > 90, R9 > 50) and TM-30 spectral accuracy. Coupled with tunable white drivers (2700K to 6500K), facilities managers can automate dynamic lighting schedules that boost concentration during core working hours and reduce stress during breaks.
Commercial real estate in Germany relies heavily on standardized building management systems (BMS). Standalone lighting fixtures are rapidly being phased out in favor of networked luminaires that communicate bidirectionally with smart building backbones.
Our linear drivers, mirror backlights, and vanity sconces natively support DALI-2 (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface), KNX interfaces, as well as wireless protocols like Casambi and Zigbee 3.0. This empowers facility operators to harvest daylight, implement occupancy sensing, and receive real-time energy diagnostic data across entire facility networks.
From high-end hospitality venues in Bavaria to modern office complexes in Frankfurt's financial district, our luminaires are purpose-built for diverse environmental and aesthetic demands.
Integrating anti-glare COB linear strips and acoustic-dampening LED pendants into "New Work" office layouts in Berlin and Hamburg. Designed to maintain UGR < 19 while providing dynamic CCT dimming controlled via DALI-2 systems.
Supplying IP44 and IP68 waterproof LED mirror fixtures, vanity sconces, and ambient perimeter illumination for boutique hotels in Munich and Black Forest wellness resorts. Engineered to resist moisture corrosion and chemical cleaning agents.
Enhancing retail merchandise visibility and luxury apartments with high CRI (95+) surface-mounted sconces and decorative crystal accents. Providing true-to-life color rendering essential for fashion boutiques and luxury interiors.
