About XAL

LIGHTING WITHOUT LIMITS

It all begins with a fascination for light. For 35 years, XAL has been working with lighting designers, architects, and planners to develop custom luminaires of the highest technical standard, which impress with their style and aesthetics. There is always one goal: to push the boundaries of the technically feasible, enabling visionary designs. We can meet this challenge because our employees in our design labs, as well as production and sales locations around the world, deliver top performance. Being on-site for our customers is essential for mutual success.

Thanks to organisational efficiency and high in-house production depth, we can tailor our response to the needs of our customers and continuously expand our existing product portfolio. Meeting seemingly impossible challenges is our daily motivation and inspiration. From novel concept to luminaire innovation: a path created by crossing borders.

SEE THE LIGHT.
