About CCEA Technical Lighting
We believe that light is a business tool, a means of improving the performance of every worker with innovative, environmentally friendly systems.

CCEA was founded in 1985 with the goal of providing hardworking employees proper lighting for the workplace. In fact, CCEA was the brainchild of its founder, Bruno Celsan. In the early 1980s, he saw that workplace lighting was limited to general lighting and felt that it was not suitable to provide efficient working conditions. Indeed, operators’ eyes would be subject to prolonged stress throughout the day, causing burning sensations, watering, or headaches and would consequently impair their ability to perform their jobs. Bruno’s ingenuity led him to design the first lamp which illuminates the exact spot where the work is being performed which lead to better working conditions and higher productivity. This revolutionary idea became our guiding star, our benchmark for creating effective lighting for every piece of machinery and workplace, in order to optimize the work process and protect personal health, while continuously operating with respect for the environment and using the highest quality materials.
With 3000 m2 of laboratory and production facilities, CCEA boasts a wide selection of excellent quality items thanks to our highly qualified team in the field of lighting. All our products undergo green light quality control to check their degree of protection and resistance to agents specifically for that product’s application. Our quality standards also come from the raw materials that are checked as they enter the warehouse, where they are tested and verified to ensure perfect conformity and functionality. Our range of products does not only cover lamps but also services such as lighting consultancy, customized design, and training.
Thanks to our machines, 3D printers, and measuring instruments we can offer a complete service for the production of customized lamps. Our instrumentation includes a photogoniometer with high precision sensors that allows extremely accurate photometric measurements. We see the possibility in light of optimizing every professional situation, from major industrial factories to machinery for the smallest production.
A Look Back at CCEA
1982
In the early 80s the lighting for the workplace was limited to general lighting. Bruno Celsan, an expert leather craftsman, felt that this type of lighting was not enough to work in good conditions since it did not guarantee comfort and wellbeing: you need the light where the work is performed. Hence, he began to design a lighting system for its field, the textile industry.
1985
CCEA is born. The first lamps for sewing machines were produced. The slogan of the first ad is “Lighting the stitch on”. It is an instant success.
1990
CCEA increases its product lines and becomes the leader of the first laser-diode pointer.
1996
LED technology is born. CCEA creates the first led lighting systems for sewing machines with LED Ø5mm. We design the first LED pointer in the world.
2000
We design the first LED lamp for industrial machines.
2004
CCEA designed and patents the first magnetic LED lighting system. From a simple intuition… a great idea.
2008
CCEA starts to design lighting systems for machine tools. The first lamps with a high degree of protection IP65 have been produced.
2011-2020
CCEA is a leader of the lighting market for machine tools. The range of lamps includes general lighting systems. 60% of our production line includes custom-made lamps.
Light – A Business Tool
The workplace is not just a place where work is performed; it is also the place where we spend a large part of our life and a social gathering place. Working under optimum lighting conditions will increase workers’ quality of life.
CCEA lamps are made in full compliance with ISO 8995=1:2002 on lighting in the workplace, featuring an ergonomic design and a resistant structure suitable for industrial use. In line with this concept, CCEA was one of the first companies in the world to use LED technology ever since it was introduced to the market, which has helped enhance the quality of our products. In fact, monochrome, flicker-free LED lighting allows the operator to work under natural, constant light for many years, thereby avoiding visual impairments and reducing energy consumption by 50%. We believe that light is a business tool, a means of improving the performance of every worker with innovative, environmentally friendly systems.
