About Us

Yes! The Lighting Industry Association has been representing the lighting industry for many years and has an established reputation for representing and assisting lighting related companies.

Being a member of the LIA as a manufacturer is a clear sign that a company is focussed on quality and meeting regulations within the industry. It is also a clear sign that a manufacturer is committed to their products being tested in the correct manner, and products can be sent into the LIA for accredited testing.

Alongside being one of the leading bodies in the industry, the LIA also provides training in a number of areas. One of the key training areas for the organisation is in the Lighting Design space, with several accredited courses available; all of our Lighting Design Team have completed LIA Certificate Courses in Lighting Design, with the majority of the team having completed all advanced versions of the interior and exterior programme. Those who are yet to complete all areas are booked in for their final courses. We also have members of other teams with these qualifications from their previous experiences, with members of our Sales and Marketing Teams being trained to LIA standards. 

Established in 1920, British Electric Lamps Ltd have become a leading manufacturer and supplier of light sources and fixtures to the electrical wholesale industry.

Continued investment in cutting edge technology has gained BELL a reputation in the industry for unique energy saving products, manufactured to the highest specification. Our onsite laboratory and QC control centre ensures that our products meet the highest standards for performance and safety and comply with all the latest EU conformity requirements.

Our move to BELL House in 2023 resulted in a real chance for growth for the business, as we passed 100 staff members and began along a journey of sustainability, becoming Carbon Neutral and bringing four core values into our business. We believe that we are 'Better Together' when all staff feel trusted and respected at all times; that the 'Customer Experience' should be at the forefront of everything that we do; that we must ensure that we maintain our 'Vision' to strive for continuous improvement; and that we must always hold onto our 'Passion' to be the best version of ourselves.

In 2023 we introduced circular economy products into our range, with our Firestay Geo LED Sustainable Modular Downlight winning three awards. The product won a Green Build Back Better Award, along with 'Lighting Product of the Year' and 'Smart Buildings/Sustainability Product of the Year' at the Electrical Contracting News Awards.

We are a family business, and we have been since our inception in 1920, and we still hold our family values to this day.
