Globally present. Locally connected.
75 years of lighting for cities, people, nature and communities
Get in TouchSomewhere on the globe it is always about to get dark – and the setting sun sets the stage for a new, shining play. When the streets and squares of a city, and when boulevards, buildings and parks are transformed by a new, atmospheric light, this mesmerising shift is often the work of WE-EF. For many years we have been designing and producing exterior lighting technology that is more than just bright.
Design and engineering: intelligence in every detail
Since 1950, WE-EF has stood for pioneering outdoor lighting – with clear design, innovative technology, and the values of a family-owned company. Our lighting solutions for urban spaces and architecture combine timeless design with exceptional functionality.

Values and People
For WE-EF, creating and listening are one. The ongoing dialogue with our customers and partners helps us know what counts. Our core competencies are built on two essential premises. On the one hand, it is the uncompromising performance and efficiency delivered by the LED modules and optical systems we design in-house.
On the other hand, it is the first-class materials, sophisticated construction and the exclusive processes that WE-EF employs in manufacturing highly reliable, long-lasting products – offering peace of mind to project owners and other stakeholders. The qualities of German engineering are held in high regard the world over. WE-EF products combine these qualities with the experience and cultural perspective of a truly international group of companies. This diversity is one of our core strengths.
75 Years WE-EF
A global Perspective
To speak the same language. All over the world.
In addition to WE-EF’s head office in Bispingen, Germany and the company’s second factory in Neuendorf (Brandenburg, Germany), the WE-EF Group of Companies includes subsidiaries in France, Switzerland, the United States, Thailand and Australia. As a consequence, customers from all parts of the world find the perfect contact at WE-EF – people who not only speak their language, but who are also intimately familiar with the specific regional conditions – from rules and regulations to requirements arising from the local climate.
Sharing a global perspective for WE-EF also means to create lighting which contributes to sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption through smart technologies, preserve the eonvironment and make sure that local wildlife is protected. With »Wildlight« by WE-EF we have developed a lighting platform which respects the needs and habitat of animals and supports biodiversity.
We create liveable spaces for people and animals aiming for circular production, zero light spill and energy efficiency.

Discover Wild-Light by WE-EFMore than a Phrase: made by WE-EF
It’s not just what you do. It’s how you do it. For this reason, the continuous training of our staff is just as elementary to WE-EF as our investments in research and development, tools and production facilities.
This is all the more important because there is quite a few things we rather do ourselves than to have them outsourced, as others do. Our production depth is high, and proudly so. We design, engineer and manufacture our own LED optics OLC® (One LED Concept), according to WE-EF’s IOS® (Innovative Optical System) philosophy. We build our own tools for die casting and injection moulding – accurate to one thousandth of a millimetre.
