First the light, then the lamp

Spectrus light & advice has been the address for lighting advice and lighting for 23 years. "We are not only a distributor of project and design lighting, but also a reliable and expert consulting partner," says director Lars van Beek. "Our experienced and passionate lighting consultants are happy to give advice on how to highlight certain details or objects. Moreover, we can realize complete lighting plans for a business premises or home."

The Spectrus light & advice team has a great passion for and extensive knowledge of light and lighting. "For example, companies, housing associations, installers, project agencies and architects often come to us with a lighting question or lighting need," Van Beek says. "But also requests such as 'we would like 100 LED panels' are no exception. But light is available in countless shapes and sizes, and each light source has unique properties and application possibilities. It is therefore important to first determine the lighting needs. Not for nothing do we use the slogan 'First the light, then the lamp'." Because where do you want light? And in what quantity? When should the light be switched on? And what atmosphere do you want to set? What details or objects should be highlighted? Or what activities are taking place here? On this basis, we like to select the right products."

Spectacular lighting plans

For those who want to go a step further in lighting, Spectrus light & advice can also provide complete lighting plans. In doing so, it uses the most modern tools, such as digital drawing programs and lighting calculation software "Our lighting consultants already have many wonderful lighting plans to their name," Van Beek said. "From spectacular, modern or stylish to practical and functional. With an emphatic eye for nature, application, style and room layout, we bring lighting ideas to life in their full scope. The reference projects on www.spectrus.nl show very nicely what good lighting can do for a space."

Large collection

Spectrus licht & advies exclusively handles the distribution of the Dutch lighting brand Emilux, which it has also owned since 2019. "Emilux is our house brand for project and technical (basic) lighting in, for example, schools, offices, stores, hotels, restaurants and industrial environments," Van Beek said. "The range goes from recessed and surface-mounted luminaires to downlights, pole luminaires, pendants, floodlights, voltage rails and spotlights. In addition, we can offer far-reaching customization." In addition to project lighting, Spectrus light & advice also supplies an extensive range of designer lighting. "We are dealers of Delta light, Bega, Interlight and 35 more leading brands. In addition, we have the importer of One Light and the agency of Ideal Lux, which allows us to fulfill any lighting request or lighting need. In our recently remodeled lighting studio in Deventer, we are happy to show all aspects of modern lighting."

Project partner

Spectrus light & advice is happy to act as a project partner, providing plug-and-play assembly in addition to lighting advice. "If desired, we can preassemble the plugs," Van Beek explains. "And pre-assembly of any Casambi modules is also among the possibilities, after which the products can be delivered just-in-time per floor, building section or other logical unit." If a luminaire unexpectedly breaks down, Spectrus licht & advies is happy to take care of the repair, replacing both the LED module and LED driver. "This allows the housing to be sustainably preserved. To test the heat management, careful heat tests are carried out in our air-conditioned cabinet. This allows us to guarantee quality (and also warranty) for the future."
