Hafele has introduced the Imperial Series, its latest addition to the Architectural Lighting Range, designed to meet the evolving lighting needs of modern interiors. Responding to a market gap in accessible, high-quality lighting, the new range blends performance, aesthetics and user-centric functionality.

The Imperial Series features eight versatile lighting options, including downlights, wall washers and spotlights, delivering consistent design language across different applications. Whether for ambient, accent, or task lighting, the series adapts to living rooms, kitchens, wardrobes and more.

Built on the success of Hafele’s Loox Range, this new series offers low Unified Glare Rating (UGR) for visual comfort and includes an IP65-rated fixture suited for humid conditions, with strong resistance to water, dust and debris.

With plug-and-play installation, flexible ordering and customisable finishes, Hafele reinforces its positioning as a comprehensive lighting solutions partner, extending innovation beyond furniture hardware to integrated lighting systems.
