Design
We now offer a variety of different products to help bring a little bit of interior design into any space. Products such as the Plaster range can be designed using paint or our new sticker range to create a unique fitting. We also have a large range of fittings made from exciting materials such as granite, concrete, bamboo (to name but a few) to bring a touch of nature into residential or commercial areas. And let’s not forget our exclusive new fittings designed by some of Europe’s top designers, such as the Bilas range designed by Vincent de Smedt & Jan Schoeters at Edmire or the i-Ring luminaire range by Andreas Robertz at Zoon Design.
Quality
All products are also rigorously tested at SLV’s German headquarters for everything from EMC energy efficient and light quality through to water resistance. Products such as our range of stainless steel 316 fittings are tested in the outdoor testing facilities to constantly test against weather resistance. We believe in the quality of the products that we distribute so much so that our products have a 2-year guarantee* as standard. *All lamps have their own indicated life span and some paint finishes for exterior fittings are excluded
