More about the brand Baltensweiler


Baltensweiler is a Swiss brand for designer lights of the highest quality and with a timeless, functional design language. For more than 70 years, the family business has been developing high-quality lamps for offices and living spaces that are impressive in terms of both technology and aesthetics.

The Baltensweiler range includes decorative individual luminaires, but also modular lighting systems that can be used to implement project-specific lighting concepts. The design is always formally clear, the materials are of high quality. Neutral colours and metal shades make the lamps into universal light sources that can be used in living areas, in public buildings and offices and harmonize with many furnishing styles. LED lights now dominate the product range, with delicate shapes and sophisticated lighting technology that use all the advantages of this advancement. All lamps are constantly being updated, which is why new models can have improved lighting properties and extended functions compared to older models.

The story of Baltensweiler begins in 1951 in a small apartment/workshop in Lucerne, where Rosmarie and Rico Baltensweiler build their first lamp - initially only for their own use, as they cannot find anything suitable on the market. When architect friends find the design to their liking, the two begin producing more and eventually found the lighting company Baltensweiler. With the design of additional models, the brand gains recognition, also on an international level; new areas of applications are opened up, and later lighting concepts and special orders are taken on as well.

The innovative Baltensweiler lamps benefit from the expertise of both founders: Rosmarie is an interior designer, Rico an electrical engineer. Right from the start, Baltensweiler lamps thus combine aesthetics, functionality and the latest lighting technology. Advancements on the lighting market, such as the emergence of new light sources, are incorporated into the design. In the 1970s, Baltensweiler developed luminaires for halogen lamps and in the 1980s models especially for fluorescent tubes. Shapes and materials are chosen in such a way that the new technologies can reach their potential and achieve the best possible lighting effect.

The next generations of the Baltensweiler family also enrich the company with specialist knowledge and new ideas, and provide impetus for structural and production-related changes and investments in new technologies.

Today, Baltensweiler trusts in LEDs as the powerful, energy-efficient and flexible light source of the future. As early as 2002, the company developed their first LED table lamp for the living area, and today the LED technology is seen as standard. In 2006, Baltensweiler set up its own light laboratory in order to find the most suitable LEDs using its own measuring methods and long-term tests. At the same time, Baltensweiler remains true to its own history and keeps selected classics in its range, but in contemporary, technologically perfected forms.

The use of LEDs not only enables particularly slender shapes that appear elegant or reserved, but also functional illumination that is precisely tailored to its area of application. The colour temperature is mostly warm white, but some models offer the choice between warm white and cool white light, depending on whether it is required for living spaces or for office and work light. In addition, more and more lamps come with a very high colour rendering (CRI>90), which ensures a very natural and clear representation of colour nuances and textures. In some cases, Baltensweiler also offers the Dim-To-Warm (DTW) option, where the colour temperature becomes warmer when dimmed down, an effect that makes it possible to experience the lighting effect of traditional incandescent lamps with modern LEDs. A shift in the light colour towards the reddish spectrum reduces the blue component and creates a relaxed atmosphere in which one can relax in the evening and fall asleep more easily. This is achieved through a combination of 3000K and 1800K LEDs, of which the 3000K diodes are dimmed first and the red warm 1800K ones increasingly dominate. LEDs without DTW, on the other hand, keep the blue component constant and thus do not achieve the same cozy effect.

Some modern Baltensweiler lamps can also be operated via Casambi. Here, all light functions can be controlled via an app, or optionally with compatible devices such as the company's own DI-ON remote control. The Casambi lighting control system is particularly suitable for public spaces, restaurants or business premises with sophisticated lighting concepts, since several luminaires can be controlled at the same time and individual lighting scenarios can be programmed.

Today, the family business is run by the third generation and still adheres to the values that have shaped Baltensweiler for over 70 years. The focus is on teamwork, innovation and ecologically sensible growth, sustainable and well thought-out lighting design. State-of-the-art technology, traditional craftsmanship and the great expertise of its employees inform the production of Baltensweiler lights. Development, production and assembly take place on site in the company's own factory, which facilitates quality control and shortens transport routes, thus facilitating a sustainable and efficient workflow.
