Lorelux ® by Niteko Illuminazione
Lorelux® stands for Long Resistant Luminaires, an Italian brand owned by Niteko Illuminazione, Apulian company with decades of experience in street lighting, born as an innovative start-up and grown rapidly to become today an innovative and internationally renowned SME. Niteko always paid particular attention to environment by offering sustainable solutions. In fact, Lorelux® is the first brand of polymer luminaires that enhances the urban spaces with exclusive designs, and in a sustainable and durable way. Creating new value from recycling is the mission of the brand, which is the result of a sustainable path started in 2011, a path that limits the impact on the environment through an intelligent and responsive design, and allows improving the general characteristics of the products in terms of durability and resistance both to corrosion by atmospheric agents and to impacts.
