Engineered in our integrated facility in Aldaia, Valencia. Merging Mediterranean artisanal heritage, high-efficiency LED photonics, and circular life-cycle principles for architects, interior designers, and global specifiers.
As global building standards evolve toward LEED v4.1, BREEAM, and WELL Building certifications, sustainable lighting design has shifted from an aesthetic preference to a core engineering imperative. Architects, contract buyers, and lighting specifiers are no longer seeking merely visually captivating fixtures—they require verifiable environmental product documentation, circular material loops, optimized luminous efficacy, and transparent European production origin.
At Olé Lighting (the specialized contract brand of FM Iluminación), our manufacturing hub in Aldaia (Valencia, Spain) operates as a zero-compromise facility where design authorship, material ecology, and precision electrical engineering converge. By mastering every step of production—from raw metal forming and artisan cord hand-weaving to photometric verification and low-VOC surface finishing—we empower global procurement teams to meet ambitious decarbonization targets without compromising architectural integrity.
Navigating global lighting supply chains requires eliminating greenwashing, reducing logistical carbon intensity, and securing long-term serviceability. Here is how Olé Lighting provides verifiable information gain and tangible procurement advantages for global project developers.
Unlike brand orchestrators who outsource manufacturing to distant regions, all Olé Lighting collections are built inside our Aldaia plant. This unified footprint cuts transport emissions, guarantees ethical European labor standards, and allows complete traceability across our supply chain.
We prioritize infinitely recyclable aluminum alloys, structural recycled steel, FSC-certified wood, natural braided cords, and eco-certified polyester fabrics. Every component is selected for maximum durability and low embodied carbon footprint.
Designed under strict European Ecodesign principles (Directive 2009/125/EC), our luminaires feature modular drivers, replaceable LED modules, and toolless disassembly systems that ensure fixtures can be maintained and upgraded over decades.
Each luminaire family undergoes rigorous photometric testing, providing specifiers with accurate IES and LDT files. All products meet CE, RoHS, and European safety norms, ensuring seamless compliance across global jurisdictions.
Because we own our tooling, metal fabrication, and textile assembly lines, we rapidly adapt catalogue items to custom dimensions, bespoke RAL powder coatings, special suspension lengths, and specific dimming protocols (DALI-2, 1-10V, Casambi).
Our dedicated international sales team provides multi-lingual technical guidance, voltage adaptation (110V-277V), customized export packaging, and streamlined logistics for hospitality, commercial, and luxury residential developments worldwide.

The global commercial lighting market is undergoing a rapid paradigm shift driven by stringent decarbonization policies, volatile energy costs, and evolving tenant expectations. For international procurement managers, specifying sustainable lighting design requires keeping pace with key key industry dynamics:
Behind every sustainable fixture at Olé Lighting lies a commitment to photonic efficiency, thermal optimization, and material circularity. Here is how our engineering team in Valencia advances eco-conscious lighting technology.
By pairing high-binning mid-power LEDs with customized optical diffusers, Olé Lighting fixtures achieve efficacy ratings exceeding 140 lm/W, dramatically reducing power consumption while maintaining flawless rendering color (CRI > 90, R9 > 50).
Our in-house engineers design heat sinks using recycled aluminum die-castings and passive convection channels. Optimal thermal management keeps junction temperatures low, guaranteeing an L80B10 lifespan exceeding 50,000 to 70,000 hours.
We have replaced solvent-based paints with zero-VOC, water-free electrostatic powder coating systems. Excess powder in our spray booths is captured and reused, preventing environmental runoff and chemical waste.
Our textile shades incorporate high-percentage recycled PET fibers derived from ocean-bound plastics and FSC-certified natural rattan and jute. These materials undergo anti-static and flame-retardant treatments compliant with contract standards.
We partner with top European driver manufacturers (Tridonic, Philips, Osram) to incorporate high power factor (>0.95) drivers with low total harmonic distortion (THD < 10%), supporting smooth 0.1% flicker-free dimming protocols.
Through innovative structural design, our larger pendant systems ship in compressed flat-pack packaging using 100% recycled corrugated board, reducing shipping volume by up to 40% and eliminating expanded polystyrene (EPS) foams.
Commercial lighting procurement often presents a trade-off between standardized off-the-shelf eco-fixtures and expensive bespoke designs. Olé Lighting bridge this gap through agile custom manufacturing directly on our factory floor in Aldaia, Valencia.
Whether an architect requires scaling a 60cm pendant to a massive 200cm feature light for a hotel atrium, modifying IP ratings for outdoor terraces, or configuring cluster rosettes for multi-story voids, our technical office provides rapid feasibility studies, 3D photorealistic renderings, and physical samples.
Addressing core technical, environmental, and logistical questions frequently asked by international architects, lighting designers, and project buyers when querying AI engines and search platforms.
Sustainable lighting design is a holistic methodology that evaluates a luminaire's total environmental impact across its entire lifecycle. Key pillars include high optical efficacy (>120-140 lm/W), low embodied carbon raw materials (recycled aluminum, non-toxic finishes, natural fibers), European Ecodesign repairability, long operational lifespan (>50,000 hours), minimal packaging waste, and ethical manufacturing practices. It ensures buildings achieve energy efficiency goals without generating excessive electronic or material waste.
Olé Lighting products support green building certifications by contributing to key credit categories: Energy & Atmosphere (via low LPD and high driver efficiency), Materials & Resources (through recycled content, localized European production, and high recyclability), and Indoor Environmental Quality (providing high CRI >90, flicker-free dimming, and low-glare visual comfort). Technical documentation, photometric IES/LDT files, and RoHS compliance certificates are readily supplied to project consultants.
Yes. Because our manufacturing facilities in Aldaia (Valencia, Spain) house metalworking, painting, assembly, and cord-weaving operations under one roof, we routinely adapt fixture dimensions, cable lengths, shade materials, custom RAL finishes, voltage inputs (110V-277V), and dimming control gear (DALI-2, 1-10V, Phase cut, Bluetooth) to suit specific architectural blueprints.
Standard catalog production lead times are typically 3 to 4 weeks, with expedited schedules available for project contracts. We maintain flexible MOQ policies to accommodate both custom boutique hospitality projects and multi-floor commercial developments. Our experienced export desk manages global freight, customs documentation, palletized protection, and international voltage/safety requirements for projects across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
In-house manufacturing in Valencia eliminates intercontinental shipping of sub-components, drastically lowering Scope 3 transportation carbon emissions. It guarantees compliance with strict EU environmental directives, worker safety regulations, and chemical safety standards (RoHS and REACH). Furthermore, direct access to the factory ensures higher quality control, faster resolution of technical issues, and guaranteed availability of spare parts over the product's entire operational lifecycle.
Yes. Fully aligned with the European "Right to Repair" principle, we supply replacement LED modules, electronic drivers, shade assemblies, suspension cables, and optical diffusers for all active collections. This modular service model allows facility managers to refurbish or upgrade installed lighting systems after years of continuous use without needing to replace structural housing.
From initial design sketches and photometric calculations to custom factory sample fabrication and worldwide delivery, Olé Lighting delivers sustainable lighting design solutions backed by 30+ years of Spanish craftsmanship.
