Nostalgic on the outside, state-of-the-art LED technology on the inside: Our historic luminaires bring efficient lighting to old towns, alleyways, and squares—while preserving exactly what makes a place special: its character.

Customized lighting solutions for every application

Historic architecture is diverse, and so should its lighting be. Whether understated and classic or grand and ornate: we combine fixtures, poles, arms, and candelabras to meet the specific needs of your project. You choose the design, finish, color, and glass. We also offer customizations and special solutions for existing fixtures. This ensures the fixture blends seamlessly into the cityscape.

Table lamps
Classic and historical designs for lampposts and candelabras
Pendant lights
For cantilevers, long spans, arcades and special architectural situations
Wall lights
For façades, entrance areas and historic alleyways
Path lights
For parks, paths and smaller open spaces
Poles, booms & lampposts
From a simple pole to a stately multi-branched candelabra and cantilevers

What Sets Our Historic Light Fixtures Apart

What looks like something from days gone by is actually state-of-the-art. Modern LED modules let you choose the light color and distribution, tailored to the application, environment, and desired effect. Depending on the model, the fixture can also be dimmed and controlled: as much light as needed, as little as possible.

Built to Last: Quality from Germany

HAHN Licht manufactures its lights with a great deal of handcrafted work, using durable materials and components that can be repaired and replaced. It pays off: Their lights shape the cityscape for decades.

Preserve what already exists.

You don’t always need a new light fixture.Historic light fixtures and candelabras can be restored and brought up to current technical standards. Reproductions of existing light fixtures or reconstructions of historic models are also possible.

This preserves a place’s identity while also providing a contemporary lighting solution.

Custom-Made Products and Design Options

It’s often the details that determine whether a light fixture truly suits a space: Proportions. Pole and arm. Glass. Finish. Color. Ornamentation. Light color. Custom colors, individual designs, and project-specific adaptations are also possible.
