The historical Schupmann street lantern is erected all round the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. In 1991 together with the TFH Berlin (Prof. Dr. Marx/ Prof. Dr. Karstädt) Semperlux receives the Berlin Environment Award for the development of a dimmable, high-frequency operation electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps.
The high degree of innovation inherent to the Semperlux INTERIOR range becomes apparent when equipping the German Art and Exhibition Center in Bonn with a custom designed computer-controlled lighting system (in collaboration with Lichtplan/ Lichtdesign, Cologne).
The URBI urban lighting system, which has already become a fast-selling line, is installed on Lower Main Bridge in Frankfurt/M, in a number of streets in Dessau, in Oxford Street in London and in Grenoble.
In Kirchsteigfeld in Potsdam, the largest city building project in the 'new German states', the client opted for luminaires and street lanterns from se'lux's URBI urban lighting range.
a new plant for exterior luminaires was built in Zachow (30 km from Berlin), providing over 7000 sq.m. for the manufacture of street lanterns and outdoor fittings.
Over 4500 metres of specially developed linear lighting systems are installed above over 13 Intercity platforms at Frankfurt/M. main station for the Deutsche Bahn AG.
URBI is installed in downtown Atlantic City, on the Elbe Bridge in Magdeburg and in the outlying areas at the Amsterdam stadium.
Semperlux GmbH merges with se'lux Holding AG to become
Semperlux Aktiengesellschaft
- Lichttechnische Werke -
At the same time the main plant in Berlin becomes a public limited company
and the parent company with over 15 subsidiaries in and outside Germany.
The first half of the century of lighting planning and design has raced
by at the speed of light for Semperlux. The name Semperlux - always light
- has been an integral part of the corporate concept from the start: with
the battery charger developed by company founder Hermann Bansbach lights
were kept burning in the city, even when there were power cuts during
the Berlin blockade.
Since that time Semperlux staff have continued to apply their passionate
interest in good lighting to come up with a wide range of lighting innovations.
Alongside fully developed standard solutions Semperlux today offers integrated
and individual lighting systems through their Corporate Lighting division.
Their service includes consulting, planning and realisation. All over
the world.
Ludwig-Erhard-House
The modern design of the Silhouette luminaire lends the Ludwig Erhard
House in Berlin a synthesis of architecture and economic efficiency emanating
the radiant character of the house with the stock exchange outside the
building.
London in all its finery at the turn of the millennium - the grounds of the Millennium Dome, which was designed by Richard Rogers, are lit by almost 1000 OVALIS luminaires. Discreet and modern in their design, they provide attractive and adequate lighting of the park area around the Dome.
Street lighting from the Berlin Zoo to the Nordic Embassies to the headquarters of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) using URBI 1 luminaires (Design: Professor Gernot Nalbach).
