In mid January 2017, a part of Lindner Group reinvented itself and started with a new name: IWS Lichttechnik GmbH changed its name to Leuchtenfabrik GmbH and merged with Lindner AG´s division Lights and Luminaires.

The standard range of Lindner luminaires and custom lighting solutions for projects of all sizes around the world are being produced at the site of the former subsidiary IWS Lichttechnik in Mettenbach near Landshut as well as in the production facilities of Lindner AG in Arnstorf. The main emphasis of the product range lies on ready-to-connect panel and surface mounted light fixtures with efficient LED technology: ranging from project-specific solutions and freely configurable light channels to workplace lamps framelessly integrated in metal ceilings and downlights, including extremely flat panel-mounts for fire protection ceilings and large luminous ceilings as well as elegant pendular lights for workplaces. The range is extended by specialised variants for clean rooms, laboratories and operating theatres, meeting utmost demands on visibility.

Architects, planners and builders profit from numerous years of expertise and innovative developments with high production depth, including an electronics workshop and in-house measurements of light and spectral distribution. Through widespread competences of Lindner Group in interior fit-out and facade construction, interfaces in regard of technology and organisation are effectively minimized. Apart from positive quality aspects, the customer also gains advantages connected with cost and schedule security for projects.

One "wonderful" example for productive cooperation within Lindner Group can be found within the new German Football Museum in Dortmund. In the course of this project, the Lights and Luminaires Division developed and produced custom LED lights. These are fitted discreetly and neatly into the overall concept and the design guidelines of the Museum while underlining the individual effects of special exhibits. At the very beginning of the tour, on the second floor, is the “kick-off
point” with the original ball of the 1954 Finals. The distinctive presentation area with an oblique-angled ceiling suspension features an organically integrated light channel with absolutely homogenous illumination, which puts the theme “The Miracle of Bern” in the right light. This construction required careful and complicated planning as well as precise execution, which was solved through cooperation of three Lindner Departments: Research and Development (R&D), Interior Fit-out
and Furnishings (Objektdesign) and Lights and Luminaires.

The newly structured Leuchtenfabrik GmbH adds further capability to Lindner Group in being a reliable partner for architecture and functional illuminations, offering bundled competence in consultation, planning and execution of highest quality requirements.
