Experience how lighting integrates seamlessly with architecture, highlighting textures, forms, and colors to define and enrich spaces. As an essential element of design, light influences how we perceive and engage with structures, balancing function and aesthetics. At WE-EF, we provide architectural lighting solutions that align with your vision, offering energy efficiency, precision, and sustainability to enhance the character and purpose of every project.
Versatile Optical Solutions for High Precision Lighting
Sustainability & Durability through Circular Material Loops
Minituarisation and Integration in Architecture
WE-EF’s advanced optical systems ensure light is directed only where needed, minimizing waste and reducing light pollution through dark-sky optics and targeted illumination.
Integrated control systems like Zhaga, NEMA, and CityGrid enable intelligent operation, ensuring luminaires are used only when necessary, optimizing energy consumption for sustainable efficiency.
With reduced blue light in the spectrum and the innovative "Wild-Light" technology for dual-color temperatures, WE-EF prioritizes both human well-being and the protection of light-sensitive ecosystems.
Lonsdale Links Golf Course, Victoria (AUS). CFY259
The Jan Schaeferbrug bridge in Amsterdam has been revitalized with energy-efficient LED lighting from WE-EF, preserving its iconic design while reducing energy consumption by 75%. The lighting redesign, led by Hugo Hendrickx, uses customised luminaires to highlight the bridge's structure, with contrasting light colours for functional and aesthetic appeal. The result restores the bridge's original visual rhythm and enhances its nighttime presence in the cityscape.
Gentle Lighting for Phillip Island’s Penguin ParadeWE-EF lighting at Phillip Island’s Penguin Parade uses amber LEDs to protect wildlife while ensuring visitor safety. Low-profile luminaires like VFL540 and DAC240 provide precise illumination, preserving the natural habitat and unobstructed coastal views. Durable and eco-friendly, the design harmonizes technology with conservation.
WE-EF lighting enhances Terminal 3’s bold, angular design inspired by Nevada’s landscape. PIA230 wall luminaires illuminate the entry canopy, while FLA440 floodlights and DAC250 downlights create a welcoming, functional atmosphere in the taxi pick-up area. Precision lighting complements the terminal’s modern architecture and energy-efficient infrastructure.
The Kauffman Center in Kansas City, designed by Moshe Safdie and BNIM, shines as a cultural landmark. WE-EF FLC141 projectors discreetly illuminate the north façade’s steel arches and concrete walls, enhancing its striking three-dimensional form. Precision lighting underscores the center’s architectural elegance, making it a beacon on the city skyline.
