Ridi Lighting GmbH has announced the acquisition of the prestigious German architectural luminaire manufacturer, Spectral Lighting, following its liquidation in August 2010.

Taking control of all manufacturing and IP rights, Ridi will continue to produce and market the Spectral range of commercial luminaires, following consolidation of plant and existing stock at Ridi’s Jungingen manufacturing base. Spectral will co-exist as an upmarket architectural brand within the Ridi group.

Mike Attard, Managing Director at Ridi UK, explains how the brand will complement existing Ridi products: “With a particular emphasis on LED technology and innovative solutions, Spectral invested heavily into product development and became a leading manufacturer of architectural products, leading to several iF and Red Dot Design Awards. Its range of luminaires sits perfectly within the Ridi group and will allow Ridi to offer the broadest possible range of high-performance, energy-efficient lighting components, still manufactured to exceptional standards in Germany. We are excited at having access to this stunning range of products in the UK”
