About Solite
Quality & Environmental Control
Solite luminaires and systems undergo meticulous development processes to ensure reliability and are governed by rigorous quality assurance protocols at every stage. The company maintains strict control over materials, components, subassemblies, and finished products, demonstrating their commitment to quality through their certification in BS EN ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management Systems).
In addition to prioritising quality, Solite is dedicated to environmental responsibility, holding certification in ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management Systems). This certification assures customers that Solite actively measures and minimises its environmental impact while adhering to environmental legislation. The company emphasises the use of efficient materials and components, contributing to a reduced environmental footprint throughout the life cycle of each luminaire. Continuous monitoring of the manufacturing process ensures improved resource efficiency and minimal waste. Any generated waste, including end-of-life components, undergoes ethical disposal or recycling. Notably, Solite’s UK operation is carbon offset through an independently endorsed, government-approved, and company-controlled scheme.
Furthermore, Solite places a paramount focus on Occupational Health and Safety Management, holding certification in ISO 45001:2018. The company enforces an internal audit program, conducts thorough accident investigations, and maintains robust processes for addressing nonconformities and implementing corrective actions. Solite underscores the importance of health and safety for directors, managers, employees, contractors, and visitors alike, striving to ensure the well-being and welfare of all involved parties.

Design and Development
LED Prototyping
In-house rapid prototyping of LED printed circuit boards reduces development lead times. New circuit board designs can be trialled within hours of the initial concept and put into production within just a few weeks. Huge investment in LED technology includes circuit board design, software development, thermal modelling and optical lens design puts Solite at the forefront of its market sector.
Design
3D computer-aided design is used to develop and model new products with high specification materials and components. Computer simulation techniques are also used to achieve the photometric performance required. Pre-production models are fully assessed for electrical, thermal and mechanical characteristics before final production.
Product Testing
Rigorous product testing is essential in maintaining our reputation for reliability and quality. Testing covers all aspects of environmental and electrical parameters including extreme ambient temperatures, dust/water ingress, EMC and current harmonics to comply with relevant European standards.
Photometric Data
Our Lighting Industry Association registered Photometric Laboratory houses a sophisticated goniophotometer for fast and reliable measurement of luminaire light distribution. An integrating sphere equipped with spectral analyser enables accurate measurement of light quality, efficiency and colour temperature.
