RE Lighting is a way of thinking RE Lighting is inventiveness, but mainly a rigorous and clear

way of thinking and working. It’s the ability to deal permanently

with innovation and technology, with a “no frills” attitude,

focused on the world of everyday things and a strong attention

to effi cient solutions.

RE Lighting survives fashion RE Lighting is not about trends. The ability for optimizing

the technological innovation available really stands out.

RE Lighting is the courage to decide when to deal with a certain

technology, regardless of clamour surrounding, but only according

to its actual degree of ripeness.

RE Lighting cares for detail Details, when they happily succeed, are not a decoration.

Details have the crucial task of expressing what the project idea

requires. The attention to detail is based on integrity of thought,

and exemplary study of technology.

RE Lighting is always tailor-made Light must be not taken for granted, it must be designed.

RE Lighting is about a special quality of light, through

the functional optimization of light sources

and the appropriate form: light follows function.

It’s not only about getting a very effective light: everything must be

illuminated.

RE Lighting makes products live longer RE Lighting is to be always in search of the virtuous cycle of the

product, a willingness to play with all the existing possibilities,

the habit of enjoying the good, while looking for ways to improve it.

RE Lighting is high quality of lightThe essence of RE Lighting is the high quality of light, which can

be soft, or hard, but always solid and crystalline.

The choice is to design and produce devices that emit light of high

quality, and focus on the best balance between quantitative and

qualitative performance.

RE Lighting is the link between architecture and poetics of the technical object RE Lighting is desire for interacting and cooperating.

It is willingness to put together the forms, the issues, the power of

contemporary architecture and the poetics of the technical objects,

in a designed and meticulously balanced relationship.

If you think this manifesto has to do simply with marketing, forget it.

This isn’t about money, it’s about a mentality.

RE Lighting Manifesto is embodied in three projects:

Matter and memory

received testifi ed to its

important role on the

European scene. Then

came Fabio Reggiani’s great

invention in 2005 – IOS, the

fi rst highly effi cient and

practical Interchangeable

Optical System for energy

saving and design freedom.

Reggiani’s fl air for

innovation continued in

2009 with the design of the

LED Luce System, using the

exclusive LED light source

incorporated into the most

effi cient optics to obtain the

perfect light to cover any

number of lighting design

requirements. For the very

fi rst time, a megastore

(Benetton) was exclusively

illuminated by LED products

and the designers selected

Reggiani.

launched the company into a

whole new universe, where

technological research

played a key role. Thus

began an endless series of

Reggiani innovations, many

of which were then adopted

as international standards.

In the ‘70s: Low Voltage,

the fi rst luminaire

range for low voltage

halogen lamps with dichroic

refl ectors in Europe;

in the ‘80s: Downspot,

the fi rst fully extractable

and adjustable recessed

luminaires; in the ‘90s: the

forward-thinking use of

innovative, low-energy light

sources and the Mollablok

fi xing system for quick and

easy installation.

The prestigious awards

and prizes that Reggiani

The Reggiani brothers

are the enthusiastic and

conscientious leaders of a

multinational industry with

a proudly Italian core and

are profoundly aware that

nothing can be taken for

granted – there are always

things to be done.

Technology is the Reggiani

culture.

Its corporate essence

is rooted in reliability,

in passion for tangible

form and for the poetry of

technological knowledge, in

expertise in lighting design

and concept, especially

based on carefully selected

materials, colours and

technologies. Pure matter.

It was established in the

‘50s by an eager Goffredo

Reggiani, a brilliant,

unconventional thinker with

a tough, passionate nature,

keen observer of lighting

technology problems and

art collector. The turning

point came in the late ‘70s,

as the move from decorative

lamps to lighting technology


A way of thinking

A real partnership is set up

for each design project,

a purposeful collaboration

that requires commitment,

dedication, plus a critical

and attentive capacity in a

constructive, dynamic and

stimulating process.

In the installation phase,

the extensive Reggiani

world network guarantees

the reliability offered by

a group present on all

continents.

A Reggiani design never

originates from

preconceived mental

images, but invariably

attempts to respond to

a series of fundamental

requirements, based on

the assessment of concrete,

powerful elements such as

materials, space and

technology. The constant

aim is to do away with the

gratuitously spectacular

and artifi cial in lighting

design and replace it with

effective solutions.

The Re Lighting Project

Center in Borehamwood

(UK) is a real think tank;

it works very closely with

the Italian headquarters to

develop important lighting

projects at the worldwide

level, produces reports and

analyses on consumption,

keeps track on all the

international standards in

the fi eld of energy and

studies market trends.

The lighting design provides

customers with all the

Reggiani know-how, fi nding

effective solutions to very

complex problems.


A way of making things

If there is no product that

fi ts the customer’s needs,

Reggiani creates a team to

design and come up with a

bespoke solution. In other

words, Reggiani offers

tailor-made services and

products.

Customised products are

managed by the

headquarters, RE Searching,

Product R&D offi ce in

Sovico, Italy, where

resources, technologies and

facilities turn a customer’s

need into a new concept

product. Reggiani can very

quickly develop a tailor-made

luminaire, from concept

through to fi nished product,

directly handling its testing,

quality certifi cation and

Reggiani works to light up

the spaces of our everyday

lives. From life it has learnt

the pleasure and art of

thinking and acting openly,

comprehensively and

willingly. Whether dealing

with mass productions or

tailor-made solutions, its

methods are the same.

At the operational level this

means a systemic approach

to lighting technology, the

search for functional

innovation and a desire for

quality. Although there have

been precursors for many

products, we can say that

every one of them is

characterised by versatility,

functional response,

durability and safety.

conformity with current

standards. The fully

integrated design, planning,

engineering and production

phases ensure that the

whole process takes from

four to twelve weeks. All the

products are made in-house

because the same care

taken in the design, in the

search and selection of

materials, in the assembly,

in the distribution logistics

and in the after-sales service

goes into all of them.

Reggiani quality not only

complies with stringent

international quality and

safety standards, it also

fulfi ls the even tougher and

more restrictive in-house

standards.

The Reggiani laboratories

are located in the Reggiani

headquarters in Milan; they

are IMQ (Italian Quality

Mark Institute) certifi ed and

authorised to test products

according to UNI 13032-1

and EN/IEC 60598-1. The

best equipment enables

in-house testing of materials,

single components and

complete luminaires.

Each Made in Reggiani

luminaire comes with a set

of certifi cations to

guarantee the quality of

the light: it doesn’t matter

if the individual product is

made in Italy, in the US, in

China or in the UK, it stands

out because it is Made

in Reggiani.


RE Lighting Manifesto is embodied in three projects:

• REGGIANI IOS,

the interchangeable optical

system for luminaires

that combines high

performance, long lifetime,

energy saving and fl exibility:

same luminaire, countless

solutions. Change optics

to change light: a simple,

unique and revolutionary

system.

• REGGIANI LED Luce,

heart of the evolution of

the RE Lighting project,

integrates the best high

power, white light LEDs

into the body of exclusive

luminaires, complete

with extraordinary

characteristics: very

high optical and energy

effi ciency, instantly

interchangeable, full

range of beams and lower

installation costs.

The exclusive Reggiani

System is more competitive

than traditional solutions

and is already widely

available.

• REGGIANI Link,

the desire and the ability

to work as a team to come

up with appropriate

solutions, in partnership

with architects, designers,

lighting designers and

customers, backed up by

Reggiani’s international

design and production

structure.


Reggiani LED Luce.LED light has never been so strong

The best high power,

white light LEDs built

into the body of exclusive

luminaires: with the

Reggiani LED Luce System,

LED technology comes of

age, offering the highest

lighting quality while

consuming less and lasting

longer than any other

light source.

Reggiani has chosen the

best high power LED diodes

for LED Luce: 16 watts for

850 lumen, excellent white

colour (CRI 90, 3000 K),

over 50,000-hour lifetime,

low consumption and

maintenance-free.

IOS - Extensive light beam range


The LED Luce lighting

bodies designed by Fabio

Reggiani combine superb

optical effi ciency with an

effective heat dissipation

system that guarantees

ongoing effi ciency and long

lifetime. The drivers have

the same lifetime as the

LED and are built into the

luminaires.

With the LED Luce

System, LED technology

comes of age and is

fi nally economically and

technologically competitive

so it can be used as

the sole lighting source

even in complex lighting

projects, as demonstrated

by numerous Reggiani

installations.

The Interchangeable Optical System

The fi rst, fundamental

step of RE Lighting

Reggiani was undoubtedly

the development of IOS

(Reggiani Interchangeable

Optical System),

the revolutionary system

where the refl ectors with

exceptional quality in optics

and energy effi ciency,

are separated from the

luminaire itself, so they

can be changed in a few

seconds, redefi ning the

function and characteristics

of each light point.


The core of IOS is a

highly effi cient optical

compartment (luminous

effi ciency up to 90%), with

quick-fi t, twist lock fi xing

system. This unbeatable

innovation is conceived

and supervised by Fabio

Reggiani himself. IOS is

made in diameters from

50 to 130 mm, and comes

with a full range of light

beams and colours, for all

the main high energy saving

light sources.

Dozens of Reggiani

product families feature

the IOS optics, so users

and designers are assured

unprecedented fl exibility in

sculpting light.

The IOS System also

means saving: installation

and maintenance are fast

and inexpensive, a lower

number of light points

are needed and energy

consumption is cut by an

average of 25%.

Because you need to change to shine

The knurled edge makes the IOS refl ector easy to grip

and attach to the luminaire

First and foremost an aptitude for experimentation.Reggiani International Lighting Forum

This can be seen in the 2500 m² of the “Lighting Forum”, inaugurated in 2007, a place for experimentation that provides the perfect setting to promote dynamic relationships between architects, lighting designers and experts, through projects and events. Workshops, talks, conferences, exhibitions and research activities are organised to look at the ongoing creative challenges in an international setting where new ideas can spring forth. Lighting design projects can be contemporary, therefore high-tech, and at the same time warm and crafted, in harmony with the broadest idea of quality of living.

Reggiani was the pioneer in the widespread use of low voltage lamps and is the leader in recessed luminaires: in just a few years its luminaires practically set the standard, becoming benchmark products for the lighting technology industry. Now, it is redefi ning lightingwith the Reggiani LED Luce System and the IOS System, to the advantage of the environment – in terms of energy saving, low carbon dioxide emissions and the use of recyclable materials – and of the operating and design fl exibility. Reggiani’s experience is a heritage of signifi cant expertise.At Reggiani, calmness is only apparent.


Because working together brings out the light

LINK embodies Reggiani’s team spirit and its open-minded approach; Reggiani has always been sensitive to every external stimulus or need. Some of the most obvious demonstrations of this attitude are of course the exclusive luminaires designed over the years in partnership with great architects like Gio Ponti, Álvaro Siza and Richard Rogers. Not so famous but certainly no less important are the tailor-made creations, where Reggiani’s scientifi c know-how is used with sartorial fl exibility to produce customised solutions.More than anything else, Link is just what its name implies – the model of an

effective relationship between designer and company: the designer clearly expresses the requisites of the case in point and Reggiani supplies lighting expertise and specialisation and a fi nely manufactured product. If the solution cannot be found in the standard products and the quantities justify it, Reggiani unleashes its capacity to produce tailor-made solutions.Link means working closely on designs and this applies to the big international projects, dealt with by the RE Lighting Project Center in Borehamwood (London). The Center works closely with the customer’s engineers on the lighting

technology and energy aspects as well as on the often highly complex aspects relating to international standards. This is confi rmed by the Reggiani collaboration with the leading Topshop chain store that operates worldwide, collaboration which resulted in receiving the Design Award Winning Project USA.

A special relationship with architecture

For some time now,

Reggiani has looked to

generations of architects,

set up contacts, established

friendships, created debate

and learning, encouraged

talent. Some of them were

young and are now mature.

Reggiani has always had a

great working relationship

with architects based on

really close ties, perhaps

irregular and inconstant but

defi nitively productive. The

company’s development,

the result of enthusiasm

and professionalism,

has been shared with

grand masters of

architecture such as

Gio Ponti, Gabetti & Isola,

Álvaro Siza, and most

recently Richard Rogers.

This is how some families

are: their hearts may

wander but they remain

faithful to their origins.

Every now and then,

long-standing talents need

to get a breath of fresh air

and expose themselves to

the contemporary breeze.

Light needs the heavens,

just like magnifi cent

relationships.
