Engineered for extreme reliability, high optical precision, and compliance with European LVD, EMC, and Eco-Design directives.
In modern architectural and landscape lighting design, the convergence of aesthetic originality, thermal management, optical performance, and international regulatory compliance defines market leadership. As a premier CE Certified Landscape Lighting Manufacturer & Exporter—operating under the industrial heritage of FM Iluminación and Olé Lighting in Aldaia (Valencia, Spain)—we engineer lighting systems that bridge artistic vision with strict European structural and electrical standards.
Global procurement specialists, lighting designers, and EPC contract specifiers operate in an increasingly complex landscape governed by stringent safety standards. Obtaining full CE certification (Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU) is not merely a legal prerequisite for entering the European Economic Area (EEA)—it serves as a universal benchmark for mechanical integrity, electrical safety, and electromagnetic immunity worldwide.
Olé Lighting’s design identity thrives on Mediterranean warmth combined with industrial resilience. Designed to transform outdoor living environments, public plazas, boutique hotels, and luxury residential estates, our landscape and architectural luminaires are built to withstand adverse thermal and environmental stress.
From award-winning suspension families like Medusa (iF Design Award recognized) to heavy-duty IP-rated outdoor series like Allegra, every product embodies a commitment to honest materials: marine-grade aluminum, recycled stainless steel, UV-stabilized woven textiles, and FSC-certified natural timber components.
CE marking on landscape lighting fixtures represents full compliance with a complex matrix of European Harmonized Standards. Procurement officers must verify that suppliers comply with key directives to mitigate legal liability, structural failure, and premature optical degradation.
| Directive / Standard | Regulatory Scope | Engineering & Testing Requirement | Target Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| EN 60598-1 | General Lighting Requirements | Electrical insulation strength, creepage distance, thermal resistance up to 125°C. | All Architectural & Outdoor Fixtures |
| EN 60598-2-18 / 2-13 | Ground Recessed & Garden Luminaires | Static load resistance (up to 20kN), mechanical impact protection (IK08–IK10). | Landscape Pathways, In-ground Bollards |
| 2014/35/EU (LVD) | Low Voltage Directive | Ensures protection against shock, internal arcing, and surface temperature hazards. | AC Line Voltage & Low Voltage DC Systems |
| 2014/30/EU (EMC) | Electromagnetic Compatibility | Suppression of radiated radio interference (EN 55015) and immunity to voltage surges. | DALI-2, 0-10V & Smart Dimming Drivers |
| RoHS 2011/65/EU | Hazardous Substance Restriction | Zero lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, or PBBs in electronic PCB sub-assemblies. | Eco-friendly Circular Economy Luminaires |
Landscape fixtures are frequently exposed to high ambient temperatures, moisture ingress, and thermal cycling. Our engineering workflow incorporates custom extruded aluminum heatsinks featuring optimized surface-area-to-mass ratios, maintaining junction temperatures ($T_j$) well below 75°C under continuous duty. This guarantees lumen maintenance exceeding $L_{80}B_{10}$ at 50,000 operational hours.
Furthermore, spectral rendering is optimized for modern landscape architecture. By utilizing COB (Chip-on-Board) and SMD engines rated at CRI > 90 / CRI > 95 with MacAdam 3-Step Ellipse binning, our outdoor lighting highlights rich natural foliage tones, architectural stonework, and outdoor structural elements without color shifting over time.
Vertical manufacturing capabilities tailored for international project contract demands.
We modify existing catalogue dimensions, suspension lengths, shade materials (textile, rattan, metal), and custom RAL lacquering to match exact architectural schematics.
Ingress protection ratings ranging from IP54 up to submersible IP68, utilizing silicone double-gasket sealing, pressure-equalization valves, and anti-hydrolysis wiring.
Instant access to photometric LDT/IES files, 3D BIM models, CE EC-Declarations of Conformity, driver data sheets, and comprehensive installation manuals.
Dedicated export management desk supplying distributors, hotel chains, and lighting engineering firms across Europe, the Middle East, Americas, and Asia-Pacific.
As smart city infrastructure, ecological preservation, and energy costs re-shape commercial lighting specifications, forward-thinking procurement teams must align with several key technological shifts:
Modern municipalities and hospitality groups demand luminaires engineered to eliminate light pollution (sky glow) and trespass. Advanced optical lens arrays direct light strictly to the target area ($0\%$ upward light output ratio / ULR), preserving nocturnal ecosystems while maximizing task illuminance.
Static outdoor lighting is being phased out in favor of dynamic DALI-2, Zigbee 3.0, and Bluetooth Mesh network controls. Integrated daylight sensors and microwave motion modules allow automated dimming schedules, reducing operational power consumption by up to 65% across large commercial landscapes.
Under the EU's Eco-design Directive (SLR/EEL), non-repairable sealed lighting fixtures are being rejected by major specifiers. Our modular housing designs allow rapid field replacement of LED engines, optical drivers, and surge protectors without disposing of the structural enclosure.

Crucial regulatory, technical, and commercial answers for architects, electrical contractors, and importers.
Every shipment is backed by an official EC Declaration of Conformity (DoC) referencing applicable EN standards (EN 60598-1, EN 60598-2-13, EN 55015). We also supply test reports for LVD, EMC, and IP rating verification from accredited European test laboratories upon request.
Yes. For coastal resorts and marine installations, we apply a multi-stage cataphoresis anti-corrosion primer combined with marine-grade C5-M powder coating. All exposed hardware is upgraded to 316L stainless steel to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Specifiers send CAD drawings, render concepts, or custom finish swatches to our technical office in Aldaia. Our engineering team returns structural feasibility analysis, 3D CAD modeling, photometrics, and prototype production timelines within 3 to 5 business days.
Our portable outdoor series (e.g., cordless table luminaires) feature ultrasonically welded internal battery compartments, magnetic charging ports or waterproof USB silicone covers, and continuous silicone sealing rings tested under pressure immersion tanks.
We partner with tier-one driver manufacturers (Tridonic, Philips Xitanium, Osram, MeanWell) offering standard ON/OFF, Phase Dimming, 0-10V, DALI-2, and Casambi Bluetooth mesh wireless controls suitable for global line voltages (100–277V AC, 50/60Hz).
Connect directly with our export engineering desk in Valencia, Spain. We assist architects, distributors, and procurement managers with lighting calculations, photometric LDT files, samples, and OEM price quotes.
