Long live LES
We realized many years ago that no matter how many LEDs you throw at certain exhibits, it just doesn’t work. That’s when we started the journey to find a more suitable solution, which turns out to be LES.
In short, LES means “Light-Emitting Surface”, and its comprised of many light sources yet manages to be much greater than the sum of its parts. We combine this extremely powerful collection of diodes with an ingenious thermal management system that allows us to push it to lengths that would simply melt any conventional LED on the market. That’s why you get more with LES.
Animal welfare
Our greatest feature is our understanding of the light that animals need to thrive, no matter where they exist in nature. We continuously follow the science, and apply what we learn to push our partners to design more sophisticated components that allows our technology to keep up and deliver the most suitable lighting possible. This is what makes us the only real option for the future of zoological lighting, where the animals are prioritized – not the visitors.
Our custom-built control panels offers the possibility to create dynamic lighting scenarios that faithfully recreate natural lighting conditions, something that we see becoming a standard feature. Understanding what light animals need means creating a comprehensive protocol for every time of day, every day of the year.
Customer-driven innovation
Since starting in 2009, we can’t count the amount of times we’ve heard the phrase “wouldn’t it be cool if…”, and that’s usually the start of something beautiful. It fires up the engineering part of our organization, and we get to work. Our R&D and manufacturing departments are all housed in the same building in Finland, and this allows us to rapidly develop ideas to products.
By this point, the majority of our innovations are directly influenced by the needs of the industry and its many experts that we have carefully listened to for over 15 years.
The latest breakthrough is our modular design, that allows for optical reflectors and glass filters to be switched out at any time, meaning the same fixture you’ve owned for years can easily be changed to work entirely different. This means that a broad beam, 5.000K fixture can be easily turned into a narrower beam with blue hue fixture in only few minutes.
The PROVolitans Promise
Our promise to the industry is to always push the boundaries of what’s possible, and to let you focus on your passion – and let us take care of the lighting.
We do not sell cheap bulk lighting fixtures intended for shops or warehouses, we manufacture the most reliable equipment in the world, and it only gets better.
Our international 5 year warranty indicates that we mean business. Most of our competitors offers 2 years, at best, and that tells us that we’re the only company in the world whose technology is truly suitable for your exhibits in the long term. We reject greenwashing and the harmful throw-away mindset, and we take full accountability to ensure that you never have to worry about your exhibits are being properly lit over the long-term.
Featured Clients
MEET THE FAMILY
Ocelot 120W
Our trusted work horse, the Ocelot is suitable for most exhibits, ranging from exquisite coral tanks to lush rainforest pavilions – and everything in between. Its small form factor and versatile mounting options makes it our most popular fixture to date.
Orcinis 4 480W
For all your Oceanarium needs, the 480W is able to easily light up the largest aquatic exhibits in the world (and is currently doing so!).
The sheer power of the Orcinis 4 is a thing to behold, and is able to do what LEDs only dream of.
Ceros
If you’re in need of a sun beam, but can’t facilitate skylights, the Ceros is what you need. Fitted with a custom optical reflector cone, this 120W Ocelot becomes as powerful as a 480W Orcinis at long range.
Orcinis 2 240W
When the Ocelot isn’t enough, usually in larger coral exhibits or when the mounting height is more than 6m, the Orcinis 240W is a perfect alternative. The light sources can also differ in terms of spectrum, and independent controlling provide dynamic possibilities.
Orcinis 6 720W
The Orcinis 6. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to light everything up in your exhibit, accept no substitutes. When you ask for this bad boy, we will have to find out if you really need it.
It’s just that powerful.
Stenos
The Stenos is the answer to the often asked question:
“Do you have submersible fixtures?”. Its carefully planned design allows for risk-free installation for any species, through its either titanium or stainless steel, IP-68 rated housing.
FEATURED PROJECTS
Georgia Aquarium - Ocean Voyager
Partner: RCK Control Systems
The Ocean Voyager exhibit, home to one of the largest aquatic environments in the world, demanded a lighting solution that could balance energy efficiency with uncompromising performance. PROVolitans delivered exactly that. Working with RCK Control Systems, we implemented a dynamic DALI control system that not only enhanced the naturalistic experience for animals and visitors alike, but also achieved remarkable efficiency gains.
- Over 150 kW in energy savings while simultaneously delivering more light output
- Precision-tuned lighting that replicates oceanic conditions for animal well-being
- Seamless integration with advanced control systems for adaptive, responsive illumination
The result is a world-class exhibit where staff and visitors alike experience the brilliance of zoological lighting at its best.
Singapore Oceanarium
Partner: ELSS Group
When the Singapore Oceanarium unveiled its new facility in July 2025, PROVolitans was proud to play a central role in shaping its immersive environments. Collaborating with ELSS Group, we designed and implemented lighting systems that bring the ocean to life with unparalleled authenticity.
- Naturalistic lighting tailored to diverse marine habitats
- Systems engineered to support animal-centric care and behavioral enrichment
- A showcase of innovation that sets new global standards for zoological lighting
The Oceanarium’s staff have praised the way our technology enhances both animal welfare and visitor engagement, cementing this project as a milestone in zoological facility design.
Toronto Zoo - Indo-Malaya Pavilion
The Indo-Malayan Pavilion at Toronto Zoo presented a unique challenge: creating lighting that could authentically replicate the lush, diverse environments of Southeast Asia. PROVolitans rose to the occasion, delivering a solution that blends science, technology, and empathy for the animals in residence.
- Lighting designed to mimic tropical daylight cycles and canopy conditions
- Systems that prioritize animal comfort while enriching visitor experiences
- A sustainable, future-ready installation that reflects the Zoo’s commitment to conservation
The pavilion’s staff have lauded the transformation, noting how our animal-centric approach creates a more natural and supportive environment for all the different species inhabiting the space. In addition, a significant boost to plant growth has been seen throughout the pavilion, a testament to the effect of our full spectrum light sources.
