O/M combines design and technology to create high-quality lighting solutions for diverse venues. Experience, knowledge, and cutting edge expertise, supported by trusted professional relationships, are applied every day to create products of maximum efficiency. After more than 50 years of experience manufacturing lighting fixtures, the O/M brand was established in 2012. Its long journey was defined by two philosophies: collaborate closely with architects, engineers and designers to manufacture customised solutions, and a constant desire to excel. Its association with renowned icons of architecture created products not previously available in the market, and made O/M a leader in the development of luminaires for specific applications. Designing these solutions meant constant testing and iteration, resulting in the knowledge and experience that are the foundation of O/M today. Built on this, originality and customisation are fundamental values for the brand. Strengthening its capacity for new, tailored products, O/M’s team of specialists guarantees interpretation and implementation for each unique project. In half a century, O/M evolved from a craftsman’s workshop, realising partners’ concepts, into a structured company with factories in Portugal and Brazil. Its focus then turned to innovation and efficiency, applying advanced LED technology to all its new products. Its catalogue offers customers a variety of options and comprehensive ranges, complemented by formats and modules that can adapt to different applications. Quality, certification and accuracy are on display at the state-of-the-art O/M laboratory. In addition to certifying products at key stages, it reduces development lead-time, and speeds customer support and requests for customisation. Beyond this, O/M’s lab allows rapid solutions to design challenges and real-time process control. Its measurement tools allows evaluation of all product parameters during development, and in support of production. This provides quick evaluation of prototypes, speeding up development internally and with external partners. Testing done in the lab results in data sheets, supporting response to ongoing activity and customisation, and improving service to the customer. Expansion into LED technology led to proprietary development of a range of O/M LED modules. Use of groundbreaking technology and expertise in thermal management allowed manufacturing PCBAs, a decisive step needed to guarantee durability and reliability of light sources and their electronics. The LED technology driving O/M’s products comply with IES LM-80, an effort resulting from the desire for the highest possible quality and durability. This dedication to quality extends to all components, balancing electronics, optics, mechanics and finishing with form, materials and colour. At O/M, creativity and expertise are the key to a perfect match between design and the precision values of luminous flux, colour rendering, temperature, colour uniformity and glare.

Lighting Design We offer the full range of design services for both daylighting and artificial lighting, through all of the design phases. We combine our findings from perception psychology research and our expertise in innovative technologies and operate independently from manufacturers. It is our design objective to create attractive and visually comfortable ambiences and, at the same time, to focus on outstanding cost effectiveness and sustainability. Perception Psychology We not only regard illumination as a technical and physical challenge, we give priority to the psycho-physiological effects of light reaching the human eye. A multi-disciplinary team researches the visual, psychological and physical effects of light on human beings. This research is carried out in close cooperation with external partners. Research and Development For the development of innovative daylighting systems and artificial lighting systems, we have a highly specialized team consisting of physicists, mathematicians and engineers. With our own laboratory facilities (artificial lighting measuring equipment, g-value measuring equipment), we are able to professionally measure the photometric parameters of both daylighting systems and artificial lighting systems. We are active in the research of artificial lighting design and daylighting design. Model Construction and Simulation In order to be able to view the spatial effects prior to realization of the project, we carry out tests on functional models. Our in-house model construction team assembles mock-ups on which artificial lighting, materials, surfaces and daylight can be precisely recreated. Our artificial sky facility enables us to carry out daylight simulations on the models. Bartenbach Lighting Academy Since 2003 the Bartenbach Lighting Academy has offered a university course in lighting design whereby the academic degree of “Master of Light and Lighting (MLL)” can be attained. The lighting academy works together with the Leopold Franzens University of Innsbruck and instructs, in an application-oriented way, the topic of lighting design, according to the highest international standards.
