LUMAPHORE®: from idea to innovation
THE LUMAPHORE® STORY
After working as one of France's leading distributors of inflatable lighting systems, Jean-Noël Georges realized the limitations of traditional lighting balloons. He then decided to create an innovative, high-performance product by drawing up precise specifications: robustness, rapid installation, energy efficiency and reliability.
The result of advanced research into mobile lighting, LUMAPHORE® was launched in 2006. Its name is inspired by the Egyptian amphora, recalling its shape, and the word "luma" for light.
To commercialize this invention, Jean-Noël Georges founded Electric and Lighting Concept (ELC) in 2007, a company specializing in the design, manufacture and distribution of temporary lighting systems.
