EREIMUL LIGHTING
Our Philosophy : Impressionist lighting
When we started working on architectural projects (high-end boutiques and restaurants, auditoriums, villas, private collections, etc.), we quickly came across a pitfall. Traditional architectural lighting focuses much more on the originality and beauty of the fixtures than on the quality of the light itself. What’s more, the ability to control the light is often very limited: intensity dimming without finesse, often by zone or even by entire room, based on old, technically limited protocols.
Whereas stage lighting treats light in all its dimensions, as an actor in its own right, capable of conveying the full range of human emotions, in the architectural field it is unfortunately treated in a very static and purely utilitarian way. The beauty and uniqueness of the work illuminated, whether an object or a building, is not sufficiently respected.
We work with light so that it sublimates places, works of art and people, and not simply illuminates them. We make it change, come alive and adapt to the life of the places we equip. We are convinced that light should be worked in the impressionist manner, with small touches, that it should focus on details and, above all, give thanks to the work of creators, whoever they may be.
We believe in living light, the fourth dimension of architecture.

ARENA LUCI
Arena Luci is an Italian lighting company, founded in 1983 and located in Castel Goffredo, Mantua. From producing professional lighting for entertainment and architectural applications, the company has grown to become a manufacturer and distributor of lighting solutions for residential, commercial, industrial, outdoor, street, architectural, and decorative spaces. The professional team consists of electrical, mechanical, and lighting engineers, who work alongside the sales and marketing team to satisfy increasingly demanding and competitive customers and markets. The company is committed to meeting the most stringent environmental standards and using LED technology, which offers numerous advantages over traditional incandescent, discharge, and fluorescent lamps.
LED technology is more energy efficient thanks to its extremely low UV and IR emission, and the light it emits is not a significant source of heat, reducing environmental impact and ensuring longer product life and functionality. Thanks to the independent ownership and management of a metalworking factory equipped with cutting-edge robotic machinery, the company has better control over product quality and can customize solutions based on customer requirements. The company's efficiency and effectiveness are guaranteed by meticulous inventory management and just-in-time production, which allows for timely delivery of end customer orders. Thanks to its diverse offering of LED lighting products, Arena Luci provides customized technical solutions for various lighting sectors in an ever-evolving market.

Our experience in energy-efficient solutions and our commitment to innovation led to the creation of Techlumen© in 2011. These LED lights combine exceptional performance, low energy consumption, and superior quality at competitive prices.
While LED lighting is the most energy-efficient technology available, not all LEDs are created equal. The market is flooded with low-cost options that underperform and premium products with prohibitive costs. Techlumen© bridges this gap, delivering reliable, high-quality LED lighting that balances performance and affordability.
Our lights are designed with a deep understanding of user needs, ensuring they meet the demands of modern businesses and individuals while promoting sustainability and energy efficiency.

LUPO
Lupo was founded in 1932 by Carlo Lupo and was dedicated to the production of professional photography studio equipment. In the first decades, production focused mainly on equipment and accessories for professional photography such as enlargers and tripods. At the end of the ‘70s, Lupo passed on to the second generation and was managed by the founder’s sons, Aldo and Giorgio Lupo, who expanded production and subsequently transferred their headquarters to Collegno, near Turin, where it is still located today. In the ‘90s, it began to focus on the production of professional lighting equipment not only for photographic purposes, but also for broadcasting and video environments.
Thanks to the experience gained over the following two decades, Lupo became a well-known and appreciated brand in television studios around the world, thus building the foundations of its current success and the widespread distribution of its lighting systems. Since 2010, with Andrea and Carlo Lupo, it has concentrated on to the development and production of LED lighting specific to various sectors, particularly television, video, live shows, theatre and photography. For this reason, Lupo is one of the few companies worldwide that hold the necessary know-how to produce professional lighting equipment that meets the requirements of different customers and different professional sectors. Lupo is a brand that exports "Made in Italy” quality, renowned worldwide for its product excellence and technical innovations in the field of professional lighting.

GANTOM
Gantom Lighting & Controls, formerly Darklight, was founded in the Spring of 2010 as a manufacturer of special-effects lighting equipment catering to the themed attraction industry. We specialize in illumination of low-light and space-constrained environments where traditional theatrical luminaires aren’t suitable.
Our “Precision” series of LED fixtures were developed with compactness, safety, modularity, and ease-of-use in mind to allow lighting designers to illuminate environments impossible to illuminate with larger fixtures. In 2011, we expanded our product line to include compact controllers that add a dynamic element to our luminaires.
In late 2012, we launched a new line of products designed for the professional lighting and architectural markets called the “Gantom” series. Our award-winning products have become the “secret weapon” of many lighting designers and industry experts and have been installed in a wide range of venues around the world including theme parks, museums, bars and clubs, casinos, and haunted attractions.
In late 2014, after experiencing an extended period of extraordinary growth, Darklight rebranded itself as Gantom to reflect our metamorphic expansion and intention to develop products beyond our original scope. In 2015, we launched our Gantom Live! division, which specializes in low-investment, interactive technology for attractions. One of Gantom’s flagship creations is the Torch Technology—infrared (IR) beacons placed throughout a venue which transmit live show data to guest wearable devices. Torch Technology was most recently used in interactive snowflakes at the holiday season ICE! at Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center.
2016 was a big year for us. Our Torch Technology was a recipient of the 2016 Thea Award, an honor conferred by the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) in recognition of a technology’s creative potential. We also launched our ZTag product at IAAPA. In ZTag, players wear IR badges that interact not only with the environment but with each other. Our “Storm Series” release was a significant milestone; this is an entirely new product line and represents our official entry into the architectural lighting market.
Rounding out our accomplishments in 2016 was our acquisition of the Haunted Attraction Network and the creation of the Gantom Media division. Gantom Media produces several audio programs, operates multiple web properties, and distributes an industry print magazine. Gantom Media has become the largest global media entity in the haunted attraction industry.
Gantom is a combination of “Gan,” our founder’s last name, and “Phantom,” which reflects our humble Halloween lighting beginnings. Gantom is a proud member of PLASA, USITT, IAAPA, HAA, and TEA.
