GO AHEAD, GO FURTHER GO EXTREME AND THEN BALANCE
380-750nm is the visible light spectrum—everything is light, and this is our essence. We explore light as both material and tool, shaping atmospheres, emotions, and experiences. Since 2014, creativity has been our driving force, born from experimentation, discipline, and curiosity. Doubt, trial, and error fuel our process, allowing us to craft unique, customized solutions for each project. Without relying on stock products or catalogs, we design and produce everything in our own factory, ensuring seamless integration between concept and execution.
Every project is a new challenge, an opportunity to redefine the way light interacts with space. We push the boundaries of innovation, transforming ideas into tangible experiences.
For us, architecture and light are inseparable. Light is not just an element; it is a transformative force that enhances well-being, quality of life, biological rhythms, ecology, and sustainability. Our multidisciplinary team works at the intersection of design, technology, and craftsmanship, pushing boundaries to deliver innovative, high-quality results.
Light changes everything; light is everything. It shapes the passage of time, highlights textures, and reinforces the essence of a space. More than illuminating objects, it integrates them, connecting us to the true soul of a place. We design and build with light, feeling the spaces before bringing them to life. We are architects of light.

Who we are
Architects of light
380-750nm is the visible light spectrum. Everything is light. This is our essence. Everything we do is 380-750nm is a lab where we experiment the light; playing with the process and progress. For us creativity is the result of work, experimentation, discipline, experience. Within thevlaboratory of 380-750nm, we explore the endless possibilities of light, pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation. Each creation is a reflection of our commitment. It’s a result of curiosity, doubts, trials and errors, all togheter.
Each project arises from the search for a specific solution, a unique response to the program, needs, context and budget of each project, something that we can only achieve by working without product stock or catalog; and producing, in our own factory, everything that we design. Our commitment to innovation and customization drives us to create from scratch, harnessing our expertise to bring to life designs that resonate with the essence of every space.
No catalogue, no stock
Everything we do is entirely personalized, tailored to the specific needs of each project we take on. Unlike traditional businesses, we do not operate with a pre-established catalog, nor do we maintain a stock of ready-made products. Instead, we focus on designing and producing lighting solutions that are meticulously crafted to align with the unique requirements of each client.
By working in this way, we are not bound by market constraints or trends, allowing us the creative freedom to develop truly distinctive solutions. Every project we undertake is a new journey, an opportunity to explore innovative ideas and respond to specific challenges with precision and originality.
Our ultimate goal is to provide more than just functional lighting; we strive to create immersive and unforgettable experiences that enhance each space in a meaningful way. The absence of a fixed catalog or inventory liberates us from limitations, enabling us to design with complete flexibility and fully address the real, individual needs of every project.
creativity & designing
380-750nm is a laboratory where we experience, play, live, breathe and feel light. Working without standards allows us to bring creativity to the limit. Designing and producing our own products allows us to experiment throughout the process, to achieve the optimal result. We are fascinated to experiment with new materials, techniques, and production processes. Our creativity is not limited by stock, catalogs or the needs or conditions of other manufacturers. In our pursuit of creativity, experimentation is our principle
The processes are a key element for us, and they are a part of the final result. We are a multi-disciplinary team that works light in a creative field, obtaining results that stand out for their quality and innovation. We design and build spaces and atmospheres through and with light. We feel the spaces and from there we develop our creative process. We are architects of light. As a diverse team, we merge various disciplines to craft light into innovative solutions that redefine standards of quality.
Production
To guarantee an optimal result to our customers, we also produce our own designs. Whatever the project, the final product is custom-made and produced in our inhouse factory, located in Madrid. With the production of our products, we achieve some of our main objectives: guarantee an optimal result, and minimize production costs, to be able to invest them in the project itself, achieving the best result we can give to our customers.Technology at the service of creativity. We guarantee personalized excellence for our clients.

Crafting Unique Spaces Through Innovation and Design
WE LOVE DOING
We are specialized in lighting. Our identity also translates into our work. We do not limit ourselves to designing products; We create experiences through light. Our specialization covers various areas within lighting design and consulting:
- Collaboration with architects and designers: we work hand in hand with architectural and interior design studios to integrate lighting into the overall design of the space.
- Renders and project visualization: we help our clients visualize the final result before its implementation.
- Product design: we conceive and develop innovative luminaires, merging aesthetics and functionality in each piece.
- Lighting Consultant: we offer expert advice to achieve optimal lighting in any type of project.
- Lighting calculations and simulations in Dialux: we carry out precise technical studies to guarantee the best distribution and efficiency of light.
YES & NO
Our identity is built on authenticity, creativity and bespoke lighting design. To understand who we are, it is important to start by defining what we are not.
- We are not a traditional commercial company, we are not a mass-produced brand or a multinational.
