"All lighting for special applications is our business"

The Licht & Optik group was created in 1964 by its founder Richard Schahl, based in Pullach, Germany - a well established specialist lamp distributor with over 40 years of experience.

The L&O group entered into the UK market in 2001 with the takeover of Professional Lamps SciMed, now currently known as Professional Lamps UK. The plan to have a subsidiary in every major country was almost completed and this then enabled us to guarantee a worldwide support for customers and all their lighting needs.

The Licht & Optik group (L&O) is currently operating in 8 subsidiaries worldwide which include the UK, France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, USA, China & Hong Kong.

Our large warehousing & inventory facilities globally allow us to deliver almost every specialist lamp in the marketplace.

Whether your application is for Medical, Photo, Audio, AV, Film, Stage & Studio, Scientific or Industrial the well placed logistics and buying power of the L&O group is an brilliant advantage to all of our customers.

Our Customer Services Representatives are experts who can respond to your questions and provide technical support where necessary.
