Architectural FX partner with APL to strengthen their integrated linear lighting offering

Architectural FX have just signed an exclusive partnership to represent a new german lighting manufacturer APL – All Purpose Lighting and their products in the UK market.

This isn’t the first time that Managing Directors Chris Skelly and Michael Kramer have worked together. As Founder of the LED Linear brand Michael Kramer approached Chris 15 years ago to help promote and sell LED Linear in the UK. The subsequent success testified to the strength of their business relationship and strong bond formed working together closely.

Architectural FX is the natural choice and new home for APL and their clever LTwo® and Lumami® Desk lighting systems. LTwo is highly customisable and this is where Architectural FX offer just the right fit. They have over 22 years of experience and knowledge in solving complex lighting challenges. They work closely with designers and clients to customise and accessorise their lighting offer to suit stringent requirements. Chris Skelley, Managing Director for Architectural FX comments ‘ Having worked closely with Michael and his team for over 15 years, we’re looking forward to working together again with the exciting APL range’.

With a miniaturised profile of just 16.4mm diameter and 13 high quality precision optics in the same form factor and socket system, LTwo® is simple and easy to install. A new, innovative and patented magnetic luminaire holder supports easy installation and also makes LTwo® interchangeable. The opportunities to integrate into building fabric, furniture and architectural details are endless.
Lumami Desk offers a highly efficient workplace lighting solution with all the advantages of LTwo -in size, efficiency, flexibility, and is compliant with the EN12464-1 standard for lighting of indoor workplaces.

Already winners of the Red Dot design award 2023 and Iconic Awards 2023, APL are very excited about the future and the co-operation with Architectural FX. According to APL’s Michael Kramer, ‘Chris and his team have a deep understanding and passion for lighting and so, for us, are the ideal partners to take our APL brand forward in the UK. They understand the relevance and synergy the product has for many lighting stake holders and we look forward to working together with them.’

Architectural FX is a UK architectural lighting manufacturer, privately owned with over 22 years’ experience in supplying high quality linear, decorative and acoustic lighting solutions. The company and its team are committed to offering suitable products for the Circular Economy and have signed up to the TM66 assessment method.
