What is the « Prêt-à-Poser » range?

« Prêt-à-Poser« , by analogy with « ready-to-wear », is a collection combining design, efficiency and long-lasting, available in several configurations (height, number of arms, lighting characteristics, etc.), always with the impeccable quality of finish which is the Technilum® hallmark.

Designed to facilitate installation (complete, light, pre-wired models, etc.), the « Prêt-à-Poser » collection complies with the latest decrees on light pollution. In addition, it allows close control of lighting (dimming, presence detection, etc.) and offers a wide range of possible accessories.

What is Inspiration ?

We are (very) often referred to as the “Haute Couture” of lighting. That’s simply because we’ve always worked with project managers and owners to create “custom-made” lighting fixtures.

Creation, innovation, design: these values are part of our DNA and make Technilum the essential partner for all your projects, even the boldest!

« Smart-In-Site »… What does it mean?

Smart-In-Site is a complete range of smart, connected services, perfectly integrated to Technilum’s lighting columns. It includes CCTV, speakers, sensors, etc… Beyond lighting!

Whether it’s for CCTV, sound system, signage, recharging stations, USB sockets or detection…, the principle is to use the streetlight’s functionalities so that its function is not limited to lighting alone. Pooling services is the first intelligence in public space!

Accessorize and get your lighting connected!

What is aluminum extrusion?

Extrusion is an industrial process during which an aluminum billet (a large solid log of aluminum obtained from alumina powder extracted from bauxite) is heated and extruded (pushed) through a die (a specific tool for each profile shape).
We control every stage in the manufacture of our lighting columns. Thanks to solid, long-standing partnerships with our suppliers, they hold the tooling we design specifically for our street lighting applications.
Extrusion is a heavy industry. Few sites in Europe are capable of producing our profiles, which require large, high-capacity presses.

What materials are used in the manufacture of lighting columns?

Aluminum, which is 100% recyclable over and over again, is our material of choice for the manufacture of our public lighting columns. Our aluminum is 75% recycled and offers numerous advantages such as longevity, robustness, lightness, upgradability and maintainability, high technicality…

What are Technilum’s CSR commitments?

We are convinced that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the key to the future and to collective values.

That’s why we’re working to promote sustainable lighting by offering eco-designed LED street lighting columns made from aluminum that’s already 75% recycled. Our products are designed to fit your projects and be environmentally friendly.

We imagine the city of tomorrow with our Smart-In-Site range of smart, connected lighting solutions. We offer multifunctional lighting columns, technical rails for easy mounting and adjustment of accessories and floodlights, and a complete range of low-tech (even rustic) and high-tech (connected) accessories for a safer, more pleasant, more sustainable and more inclusive city.

We are a committed local and economic player. We manufacture all our products in our own factory in France, and have a policy of local purchasing.

Finally, we develop our human capital by committing ourselves to the well-being of each individual and to equality and inclusion within our teams. We attach great importance to training and transmission, and regularly support work-study students and interns. A great way to learn and acquire new skills!
