Lighting Manufacturer PBLC Rebranded to Lightholm and Introduced a Streetlight
Since 2014, PBLC Nordic has been a trusted leader in innovative industrial lighting solutions. The company has now refreshed its brand and changed its name to Lightholm. Alongside the rebrand, the company is introducing its new innovative streetlight, GEO Streetlight. Lightholm is an Estonian lighting manufacturer producing forward-looking and environmentally friendly solutions – from streets and sports grounds to demanding environments such as ports, mines, and offshore platforms. The products are designed in collaboration between Sweden and Estonia and assembled in Latvia.
The new name, Lightholm, reflects the company’s values and vision for the future. Light – the core of the company’s knowledge and expertise – and Holm – meaning “island” in Swedish – symbolise clarity, focus, and Nordic origin. Lightholm’s mission is to be a trusted provider of high-quality, sustainable lighting solutions, helping customers identify exactly the right option for their needs. The company places great importance on ensuring its products adapt well to the local requirements of each target market.
“Although our company’s roots go back to 1994, the past two years have marked an important turning point. We have established an accredited laboratory, expanded our capabilities to include ATEX, and brought our activities together under the Lightholm name. This new chapter builds on a strong foundation, and I look forward to what lies ahead.” – Sven Aabreldaal, the CEO at Lightholm.
Lightholm’s manufacturing is located in Riga, Latvia, where all production is carried out in-house. The semi-automated production process supports consistent quality and enables efficient high-volume manufacturing. Scalable production capacity allows the company to adjust output according to project and market requirements. A dedicated R&D team develops customized solutions in response to specific technical needs. Manufacturing operations are certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and HACCP standards.
Lightholm’s MOVO streetlights have been installed across various locations in Sweden. That experience inspired the company to develop an even more advanced streetlight – GEO. Street lighting is a vital part of urban energy efficiency and quality of life. GEO’s minimalist and functional Scandinavian design integrates seamlessly into modern cityscapes while delivering reliable and efficient illumination.
One of GEO’s most distinctive features is its electronics panel, positioned at the back of the streetlight, which can be removed without tools. This means 80% of the luminaire remains untouched, and only a small part needs updating. Such an approach significantly extends the product’s lifespan and makes GEO a highly eco-friendly solution. In addition, GEO easily integrates with city infrastructure systems, whether for traffic flow monitoring or energy-saving management.
The brand renewal marks a confident step into Lightholm’s next phase of growth as the company continues to deliver high-quality lighting solutions.
