Perfection since 2010

True passion for nature

The world’s premier zoological lighting company

PROVolitans was born out of necessity. We realized in 2008 that high intensity discharge bulb technology was not going to last, so we decided to do something about it.
By combining the unique insights from global leading professional aquarists, biologists & horticulturalists, we combined their needs with what we knew about the emerging semiconductor light sources that were starting to hit the market.

Ever since, we have established ourselves as the natural choice when you need a serious lighting partner. Our services range from luminarie manufacturing to control system designing, programming, and on-site commissioning to make sure that your exhibits are easily maintained for years to come, with the lowest possible power consumption.

We do not import technology from China and slap a sticker on them, we take our mission seriously, as you deserve the best – and that’s what we are.

LeS Technology

Get more with LeS

LeS® is the next step in zoological light sources, doing more than LEDs ever could.
More expansive spectral possibilities, longer lifespan, superior energy efficiency, and controllability are some of the aspects that makes it the optimal choice for any animal habitat.

Fit for purpose

Our deep understanding of engineering in heavy-duty industrial circumstances have been crucial in creating equipment that can take the heat and humidity that’s common in many technical spaces. Without it, we couldn’t be able to offer our full five years international warranty, and that would make us just like every other LED supplier on the market. And where’s the fun in that?

Truly full spectrum

You learn a thing or two when you’ve spent over a decade listening to some of the most renowned aquarists and biologists in the world. Their unique needs, technical limitations, and creative curiosity has fueled our drive to innovate and deliver solutions that go far beyond their expectations and sets a new gold standard in zoological lighting.
