Even after your purchase we are at your disposal. No matter if you need help with the assembly or mounting of the product, or you change your mind after you have received the order: We will take care of your request quickly and without complications. - The Best Products
We choose our manufacturers, and therefore our products, with utmost care. Hence you will only find brands in our inventory, which we can recommend whole-heartedly and without hesitation.
Founding of the GES mbH
The history of our company begins in the autumn of 1990: In that year we opened the doors to our first retail shop in Bochum. At that time, good lighting was already the focus of our efforts, even though day-to-day business was dominated by the assembly and installation of lighting fixtures and electronic equipment. Within only a few years we put together an extensive inventory of high-quality luminaires, which were already on offer at our retail shop at that time. Our services were expanded substantially and grew with comprehensive lighting consulting.
Our first online shop goes online
An online shop from very early on: Since 2003 we’ve offered our products on the internet as well as at our retail shop. No matter if online or offline: great service is the focus of our business model. This is why detailed consultation on the phone as well as by e-mail is very important to us – after all we want to stay true to our roots as a specialist dealer. Your orders, questions, and requests reach us right here in Bochum, Germany, no matter if you call us or write via e-mail. Our staff is very familiar with our product range. We consciously avoided the use of an external call center and conduct all our business in-house, in order to guarantee competent advice tailored to your needs.

Moving to our new retail shop on Nordring 49
After more than 20 years we decided to change venue. After an extensive search we found new and larger business premises right in the heart of Bochum. Since then we can present to you the most popular luminaires from our product range within an area of more than 600 m². For you as a customer our relocation means more of everything: A greater selection, more products in stock, customer parking spaces and more relaxed shopping in our retail shop.

A new face for our online shop
In 2013 we relaunched our web presence in the most extensive way yet. Apart from a basic modernisation of our design, we achieved our goal to make shopping much easier and more comfortable for you. By encryping the whole online shop (and not just the checkout pages), we also paid special attention to your security.

A small milestone
The year 2016 was a special year for us. After we received extremely good reactions from our customers with our newly designed online shop, we were also able to welcome our 50,000th customer this year. Encouraged by this success, we also doubled our stock volume.
Continuous improvement
All years again: To make the shopping experience for you even more enjoyable we have given our shop another facelift this year. More comfort functions and a more modern surface help you to find your desired lamp. With PayPal+ we have also integrated even more payment options for you.
