SILL are specialists in precision engineered projectors for exterior and interior use. SILL products are the result of extensive research and development as well as manufacturing expertise, creating world beating reflector technology that ensures efficiency with no glare. World renowned for reliability, design, the creation of special concept lighting and customer support, SILL engineers give each project individual attention and deal with customers' particular requirements. High performance fittings with high performance service is our mission.
SILL illuminates a number of impressive building projects in the UK and around the world, from airports, sports stadia, and office buildings, to churches, bridges and shopping centres. Famous UK & Eire projects are the Millennium Dome, Paddington Station, Magna, The Royal Albert Hall, London Eye, Jubilee Line Extension, The Centre MK, Dublin Smithfield, Coventry Cathedral and Heathrow.
Using our powerful Relux Professional Lighting Design Software, Sill can quickly build 3D models to design and prove scheme performance, either numerically or subjectively. Output can be graphical, colour visuals or tabulated data.
Now with the Vision radiance plug in for Relux 3 Professional, Sill can now input the specularity and pattern of surfaces, thus a surface may be glass, wood, ceramic tiles or reflective metal, allowing Sill to prepare almost photorealistic images.
Sill's experienced technical support team is able to recreate buildings and spaces from simple to complex to achieve the client's requirements.
On the 4th November 2004 Franz Sill celebrated 50 years since first starting in lighting. Through that time the company has lit many major buildings across the world, such as the Medina Mosque in Saudi Arabia with its 9000 fittings and innovative use of mirror system, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, The Hannover Exhibition grounds, the Millennium Dome, the Jubilee Line Extension, the Royal Albert Hall and Swiss Re.
Its legacy is in the buildings it lit, but it is for innovation, optics and quality that the company is famous. Sill produced the Europe’s first tungsten halogen projector in 1963 and the following year went on to produce the first die-cast aluminium fittings for Mercury, High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide lamps. Indeed it has been known ever since as the leader in discharge lamp optics.
We now know Sill as a big project company, lighting Airports, Shopping Centres, Office Atria, Building Facades and Sports parks, but Sill pioneered the use of metal halide in retail. In 1984 Sill launched the 700 series, this innovation was later copied worldwide.
Reliability, testing and the quality of its photometrics have always been at the heart of the company, so it was natural to find that it already had an in-house goniophotometer before 1974.
Now with 125 employees at its base in the famous old Pelikan Haus in Berlin, it has partners in 35 countries and has long worked in the Middle East, Asia, Australia and America as well as Europe. This international orientation has helped the company stay positive and profitable, a situation aided by its ability to design test and produce specials of the highest quality.
