MIV – Materiale Illuminotecnico Veneto – has been operating for over ten years as a reference point in the supply of lighting components. It was established in the Italian and international market thanks to an efficiency-oriented operating standard, e.g. immediate availability of products and high-performance logistics. With a catalogue of more than 6,000 items ready for delivery, and a fast-shipping service in 24 hours, MIV guarantees production continuity, reliability, and constant quality.
The distributed products comply with current European and non-European regulations and come from selected partners among the main players in the lighting sector, for some of which the company also operates as an official distributor. To support customers, MIV provides a structured sales department to quickly provide dedicated proposals, supported by a sales network present throughout the country. The internal technical office plays a key role in application consulting and in continuous updating on products, technologies, and industry regulations.
That is the context of the regulatory evolution linked to the lighting Ecodesign Directive (EU Regulation 2019/2020), which introduced further strict criteria in terms of efficiency, sustainability and safety, bringing together previous requirements and revisions in a single regulatory framework. To support this transition, the EPREL directive reinforces the European Union’s commitment to increasingly efficient and standardised lighting, intervening on aspects such as new energy labelling, luminaire repair, and flicker or stroboscopic effect limitation. MIV immediately faced these changes by supporting its customers in choosing the most suitable solutions to meet the new requirements without compromising the luminaires’ design or requiring expensive design interventions. A tangible support that translates into production continuity and cost optimisation.
A significant example is the cooperation with Vossloh-Schwabe, of which MIV is a distributor. Thanks to this partnership, the company offers a range of 220Vac LED modules with integrated driver, both in COB and SMD versions, fully compliant with Ecodesign parameters and designed to replace previous generations’ sources. That allows appliance manufacturers to maintain their designs while ensuring high performance and energy efficiency. For applications involving LED modules or LED strips combined with separate drivers, MIV offers Vossloh-Schwabe complete systems, standing out for light quality, long-term reliability and energy optimisation.
A further strategic area is represented by lighting management and control, an essential element to reduce consumption and improve the system’s overall performance. From minor applications to large production, commercial, or hospitality areas, MIV supports customers in choosing the most suitable control technology – Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, DALI, DMX, and others – supporting them in design and prototyping, so as, if required, system programming and final testing.
Thanks to this counselling approach and in-depth application knowledge, MIV confirms itself as the reliable and competent partner for tailor-made development of lighting solutions, to combine technological innovation, regulatory compliance and concrete production needs.
