(Company)">Totallux</a>’s latest releases – the TLX 22 3D Bendable Flexline, Superior Spot, and Mini Dot – each address specific needs within marine lighting, combining durability, functionality, and visual appeal.TLX 22 3D Bendable Flexline The TLX 22 3D Bendable Flexline brings a new level of flexibility to lighting design, allowing bends both horizontally and vertically in a single line. This feature is especially appealing for designers and installers seeking to create intricate, flowing shapes on the curved surfaces commonly found on yachts. Beyond flexibility, the product prioritises durability and energy efficiency, meeting ErP compliance standards and minimising the risk of PCB failure – crucial features in high-end yacht installations where long-lasting, energy-efficient solutions are key.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337160/image/large-e7e41e827182711e2cd7cd6f1bed7fca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337160">A perfect blend of horizontal bending &amp; vertical bendingSuperior Spot An IP67-rated exterior spotlight, the Superior Spot is built to endure the challenging conditions of marine environments. The polished SUS316L bezel and double Teflon gaskets provide robust protection against corrosion, with finish options in black, white, and SUS316L for diverse design aesthetics. The light’s high CRI of 90 enables precise colour rendering, enhancing the yacht’s visual appeal while maintaining resilience against saltwater exposure. This blend of performance and style caters to exterior lighting needs where both functionality and appearance are essential.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337158/image/large-29dee7c5c6d12c3f2adf4a4f70fd58d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337158">Available in 135mm or 95mmMini Dot Known as “the invisible light,” the Mini Dot meets the demand for compact, discreet lighting that does not compromise on brightness. With a diameter of only 13mm, it’s ideal for tight or intricate spaces, providing ambient and decorative lighting in areas where larger fixtures would disrupt the design. As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V. (Company)">Totallux</a>’s Jan Mark explains, “We often get requests from light designers for a fixture that gives off light without actually seeing the source,” and the Mini Dot answers this call perfectly. Designed for both interior and exterior use, it combines durability with a minimalist profile that appeals to yacht designers.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337163/image/large-1d2d1e7cd1ce4b7633fb4599fd9a1fd0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337163">The tiniest fixture for lightingMeeting market needs: flexibility, durability, and energy efficiency&nbsp;Each of these new products aligns with the market’s growing demand for sustainable, versatile lighting options that support customisation while withstanding the rigours of the marine environment. The TLX 22 3D Bendable Flexline’s ability to execute complex curves with minimal maintenance caters specifically to high-end, design-driven projects, while the Superior Spot’s resilient build addresses the need for low-maintenance solutions in exterior lighting. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V.

The team of experts from the marine arm of the business is there to provide project-specific advice throughout every stage of the design and building process, supporting their clients with a reserve of resources – including spec sheets, instructional videos, and training workshops. By working closely with design teams from the start, <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/totallux-b-v" target="_blank">TOTALLUX</a> ensures that its products are always correctly installed, reducing the chance of delays or damages.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206623/image/large-364f5ab6a735732d41a48a6e819b9f01.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206623">The superyacht lighting industry has come a long way in innovative developments since the founding of <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/totallux-b-v" target="_blank">TOTALLUX</a> in 2003. Transitioning from Halogen to LED is one of the major changes, while another has been the move away from rope lighting to the neon flex. <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/totallux-b-v" target="_blank">TOTALLUX</a> has capitalised on both advancements and offers these retrofit upgrades to older vessels in their refit division.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206624/image/large-a751042af3e64bac811e8da2bea5b02e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206624">Sustainability has also been an engine for change in recent years. In keeping with the yachting industry at large, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V. (Company)">TOTALLUX</a> is driving toward solutions that have less of an environmental impact. The result is a “Shortcutting” version of its TLX LED Flexline Series, a line of lighting that can be cut as close to one or two LEDs. When compared to the more traditional twelve LED option, it becomes clear just how much of a huge reduction this is. More is less! And without any compromise to quality too. By opting for the “Shortcutting” versions, clients are seeing waste reductions of up to 75% in some cases. Fitters are reporting that the product is also more dynamic and that its design reduces any shadow issues they may have previously faced. Another area <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V. (Company)">TOTALLUX</a> is exploring is fibre optics. Due to the nature of this cabling option, vessels can benefit from a major weight reduction as they will no longer need to lug excess cables on their yacht. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206622/image/large-db1618431a1d315c9c3f3bc6e310d771.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206622">One of the big trends at the moment is Human-centric Lighting – lighting solutions that mimic natural light and adjust automatically to the surrounding environment. Developers have already smartened up lighting to achieve this goal and are now working to bring more diverse colour palettes to market. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V. (Company)">TOTALLUX</a>already offers a solution for clients looking for a spectrum of colour: the RGBW Flexline. The company predicts that more developments will be made in the near future, and is expecting to see even smarter and a wider range of colour lighting hitting the market soon.TOTALLUX offers a one-stop shop when it comes to Marine LED lighting solutions<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206625/image/large-382bb0051c5a804938e51fc83664d75f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206625">If you want to hear more about these innovations, you’ll be able to find <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V.

Experts in providing innovative LED interior and exterior lighting solutions to some of the world’s best superyachts, Dutch LED lighting solutions company <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V. (Company)">TOTALLUX</a> has gone from strength to strength despite the pandemic. In fact, over the past 12 months, the company has undergone substantial changes – including the purchase of a brand new HQ in the Netherlands. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/198078/image/large-7a88e8ce38c2759260c9d797a4fb77a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/198078">Here we catch up with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V.

(Company)">TOTALLUX</a>&nbsp;faired over the last year and what is your secret to success?During the pandemic, we didn’t sit still. Spurred by our customers’ needs, we developed ‘shortcutting’ versions of our TLX Flexline Series. The development of this shortcutting range means we now produce Flexlines that can be cut as close as one or two LEDs. In the case of our most popular TLX8 Flexline, this takes the cutting length from 83.3 mm to a very short 13.9 mm. This allows designers much more creativity in their designs and reduces shadow issues. It also gives more flexibility to installers and builders and, of course, massively reduces waste. This has been met with great enthusiasm by our customers. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/197912/image/large-717e45a6e6290cbbe7b29e91d9142b56.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/197912">Amongst our teams, we offered training and self-development courses to help boost morale and further advance our collective skillsets, and we continued to be proactive in discovering new ways to improve the way we do business.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/198080/image/large-9ad61a7c51040c8435c0e185824b3bf9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/198080"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/198079/image/large-c5c13e72e5c19624dd74929fc5e764a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/198079">2021 is the year of&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V.

Additionally, there will be a brand new showroom and dedicated training facilities.&nbsp;We have expanded our geographical base, with experienced yacht professional, Mike Jardine, who joined our team in 2020. Mike operates out of offices in Nice, and his main remit is to introduce our product ranges to customers in France, Italy and Spain and to support our Mediterranean-based customers.

Our new building will be totally self-sustainable with solar panels and rainwater systems, and we will be offering bicycles to all of our staff to decrease our carbon footprint as a company further. During the lockdown, in a small bid towards raising awareness in our industry, we sent a handbook on sustainability as a gift to our customers to inspire new ways to live a little lighter every day.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V.

How to choose interior lighting specialists for a yacht 

An impressive aspect of a superyacht's design lies in the choice of interior lighting. Here we find out how to ensure your project has the best. 

How the interior lighting was chosen for the Amels Limited Edition superyacht Galene 

As soon as the sun goes down, the innovative LED interior and exterior lighting solutions by <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/totallux-b-v" target="_blank">Totallux</a> are transforming yachts into works of art on the water. Since setting up the company in 2003, <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/totallux-b-v" target="_blank">Totallux&nbsp;</a>has been lighting up new-build and refit superyachts and tenders all over the world, gaining recognition for its revolutionary designs.&nbsp;After learning that the company founder, Jan Mark Zumpolle, has had a life-long affair with the yachting industry, SuperYacht Times found out from the man himself how he ensures <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/totallux-b-v" target="_blank">Totallux</a> lights outshine the rest. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168688/image/large-b7eff38b6615b4cf26bc7677bb087a5e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168688">What is so special about <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/totallux-b-v" target="_blank">Totallux&nbsp;</a>as a company and its products?First and foremost, we are really passionate about the superyacht industry. When we take on a big project, we have the opportunity to think outside of the box and come up with tailored solutions that use the most modern developments in lighting technology.&nbsp;There is always a challenge to find the best solutions in the early stages of a project, as so much is possible with LED lights, but generating these ideas and getting the most out of this technology through close cooperation with multiple parties – like the shipyards, installers and designers – is what we enjoy doing the most.&nbsp;In the early stages of these major projects, we can advise across all areas, due to our wealth of expertise and technical knowledge. We are able to anticipate the wishes of our clients and are always looking for the best solution.&nbsp;We are very proud of our TLX LED Flexline range which is the ultimate product for customised lighting solutions. Because it is made with small LEDs with a smooth and flat exterior, it is very flexible and can be manipulated to create visually-appealing illuminated shapes and sculptures. A recent update to our TLX LED Flexlines was that the cutting lengths were made shorter at only one centimetre, so it’s easier to fit in and can be created with less waste.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168687/image/large-063d8ba07a9b041afeed937ebfdef67c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168687">What is unique about the company’s installation process?With our HQ located in the Netherlands and with representatives in the Mediterranean, we are always able to visit our customers at a moment’s notice. This means that our customers can benefit from our technical expertise and knowledge straight away as advisors, enabling them to think ahead in the early stages - which is very important. We offer this service at no extra cost. Our advice can cover many specific elements, including LED light sizes, technical and hardware options, refit plans, controllers and protocols. We can also provide training to electrical installers for a more efficient process and always follow up on our advice by hand-checking the product quality, colour temperature and creating perfectly mocked-up samples.&nbsp; What superyacht projects are you working on at the moment?&nbsp;We were recently in Barcelona working on the refit of the third largest yacht in the world. Otherwise, we are continuing our work with some of the biggest Dutch shipyards such as <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/oceanco" target="_blank">Oceanco,</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer Yachts,</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman Shipyard BV (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1821" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Damen Yachting (Company)">Damen Yachting/Amels&nbsp;</a>and have been doing so for more than 15 years. The team here has always worked closely with shipyards, light designers and installers, and we never stop developing in response to their requests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/77754/image/large-b08663949934819761aca3185ede57e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/77754"> What are you looking forward to working on this year?We recently opened a new base in southern Europe so we can better support our customers and present our products. There are also plans for <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/totallux-b-v" target="_blank">Totallux</a> to set up a cooperative in the US. Our preparations for our exhibition during this year’s METSTRADE Show are keeping us busy, as we are getting ready to present our latest developments and new products. We keep on investing in new developments, building on the knowledge and expertise of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V. (Company)">Totallux&nbsp;</a>team to support the marine industry to the best of our ability.&nbsp; How does <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/totallux-b-v" target="_blank">Totallux&nbsp;</a>work towards being a sustainable company?&nbsp;Of course, we are aware of the problems which the world faces and we are proud to do our fair share to help maintain a healthy ocean. We sponsor an ocean cleanup project and have changed our packaging and modes of transport to more sustainable options. In terms of our products, we are always looking for improvements such as a longer life span.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/51004/image/large-dd8579027ba77118625a717b731c215c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/51004">To find out more about <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5960" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Totallux B.V.
