I. Quality
Quality from start to finish made in Germany – the ultimate stamp of quality.
The bodyshell of SILL projectors is made of high purity aluminium alloy, the actual grade
is known as (EN AC-Al Si12).The difference is the very low percentage (less that 0.1)
of copper impurities, the advantage is corrosion resistance and thus ultra long life in
even the most demanding environments.
All components are sourced from renowned manufacturers, all aspects of the
SILL-products and its design are of the same high quality.This approach guarantees
minimum through-life cost to the end client.
On site reliability and lamp life is a function of thermal engineering. Lamps, control gear
and components all have a set maximum temperature, SILL pays as much attention to
this, life guaranteeing aspect of performance as it does to all others. Of course, we have
an on-site thermal and ingress protection test laboratory. And naturally we have in-house
quality control management and testing according to ISO standards.

III. Design
A stylish appearance is more than skin deep. Behind this is the guarantee of functionality over many years.
Design is the optimal fusion of form with function. Striking a balance between the two
is increasingly difficult in today’s world. Architecture require ever more complex lighting
concepts, while at the same time economic viability becomes more and more crucial.
We have unrivalled experience in major projects such as airports, railway stations,
shopping malls, exhibition grounds, skyscrapers and landmark buildings all around the
world.We employ a highly-qualified team of engineers and designers, who work with the
latest software to plan and conduct complex light simulations.The result is a company
that can look to fifty years of sustainable experience in the lighting business –
on the basis of innovative technology, timeless product design and luminaries with
an exceptionally long lifespan.

IV. Innovation
Innovation is about more than just an idea. Innovation must consider and
anticipate the needs of the market and align itself with these, as well as being viable in series production and in long term use.
The growing demand for innovative lighting results in new solutions.We deliver them
in every form – and are often the first to do so: for example, SILL, was the first company
to launch a metal halide lamp for use in retail stores as well as for exterior lighting.
The result of many years’ close collaboration with designers are luminaries –
initially often in the form of special fittings – that continually set new quality standards.
Knowledge gained from the design of special fittings (which are manufactured to full
production line standards) is then used to inspire future standard ranges. Our marketoriented
product development has made us the world leader in projector technology –
think of it as the three dimensional shape of light. Our innovative drive ensures that it
will stay that way – as you can also see from the example of our ground-breaking
LED development.

V. Environment
If you wish to light up the future, it’s important to consider one thing:
sustainability. We do this every step of the way.
There is a lot of light these days – maybe far too much at times. Throughout the entire
product lifecycle of our luminaries, we make sure we are providing light for the user
and not an extra burden for the environment: Our reflector technology directs light to
where it’s needed, thus minimising light scatter.The high quality of our reflectors ensures
minimal energy consumption.Their thermal engineering and construction ensures maximum
lamp life.The quality of our materials ultimately ensures maximum recyclability.
But that’s not all: we were the first company in the world to pioneer ‘zero light pollution’
technology a whole 25 years ago. Our German production facility complies with the most
stringent European and German environmental standards. Moreover, the electricity in
our Berlin factory is bought from a 100% renewable source. And we work with industrywide
working groups to guarantee that our employees can enjoy a safe and positive
working environment.
