Elstead Lighting Manufacturing & Design

Elstead is one of the leading decorative lighting manufacturer and distributors in the UK. Established in 1967 at the Forge in Elstead Village, Elstead expanded and moved to Alton in 1971 where they now employ over 100 staff (across the group), and have manufacturing facilities of over 8,000 square metres across two sites.

Elstead specialises in decorative residential and hospitality lighting that take classical influences in their design and style. Elstead are proud to still use traditional handcrafts in the production of their lights as well as embrace the modern technology available with CNC machines. Around 10% of the Elstead collection is manufactured in Alton using traditional welding and patination skills to create distinctive products.

Elstead are proud to be members of the The Guild of Craftsmen. Stringent entry criteria ensure that only those companies who meet the requirements are awarded membership, which is by no means automatic. Members are required to prove that they have earned the right to be called master craftsmen – through the quality of their work, their commitment to customer care and the level of service they provide. Once accepted into membership they are required to maintain the Aims and Objectives of the Guild.

Safety is paramount with all lighting, and especially when used outdoors. All of the products within this collection are manufactured to be safe and fit for their intended purposes.

All products are made to CE and UKCA Standards. They are fully inspected and tested for electrical safety and function. They are all constructed to BS EN 60598-1:2015 standards and all bathroom models are IP rated to ensure suitable protection against the ingress of water.

The company is also certified ISO9001 compliant in both of our major European locations to further show commitment and competence in the manufacturing and supply of safe and reliable product.
