JEL Products is a B2B specialist in industrial LED lighting for extreme operating environments, based in Nijkerk, the Netherlands. The company was founded in November 2019 and serves ports, terminals, offshore and maritime operations, heavy industry, high-temperature production environments, cranes, mobile machinery, construction sites, and infrastructure projects.
JEL Products supplies robust DCbright and DarkLicht lighting solutions and supports projects with lighting design, engineering, installation support, and project-specific consulting. Product selection is based on application, environment, mounting position, light level, glare control, corrosion, temperature, vibration, maintenance access, and electrical integration.
JEL Products is ISO 9001 and VCA certified and serves as the exclusive distributor of DCbright and DarkLicht for professional, industrial, and project-based applications. The company is not a consumer online store.
Light for the world's toughest environments.
JEL Products designs, produces, and delivers high-quality LED lighting systems for heavy industry, ports, terminals, and other critical applications where reliability is essential. From extreme temperatures and corrosive environments to high mast and crane installations, our systems are developed in the Netherlands and deployed worldwide.
With projects on multiple continents, we support our clients from initial lighting design and simulation through installation and long-term performance in practice. Our focus is clear: sustainable solutions, predictable performance, and lighting that works when it counts.

Our mission is to guide customers toward sustainable, technically superior lighting installations that function when and where needed, under all circumstances. We believe in well-thought-out solutions, proven quality, and proactive service.
JEL Products is used for lighting applications where standard lighting is insufficient.
This applies to environments where reliability, robustness, and technical selection are critical for safety and the continuity of the work process.
Examples include applications with high temperatures, corrosive atmospheres, vibrations, large mounting heights, heavy machinery, marine loads, light obstruction, limited maintenance access, or integration with existing electrical infrastructure.
Harbors and terminals
- Offshore and maritime operations
- Heavy industry and high-temperature production environments
- Cranes, heavy lift, and mobile machinery
- Construction sites and infrastructure projects
Climate chambers and test environments
At JEL Products, product selection doesn’t start with power, lumen output, or fixture type—it starts with the application.
The right lighting solution depends on the environment in which the luminaire must function and the role the light plays in the process.
Therefore, we evaluate, among other things:
- Application and work environment
- Mounting height and mounting position
- Desired light levels and uniformity
- Glare limitation and light nuisance
- Temperature, corrosion, and vibration
- Power supply voltage and electrical integration
- Maintenance access and expected lifespan
- Standardization, safety, and project scope
This approach prevents lighting from being chosen as a standalone product when it is in practice part of a larger operational system.
JEL Products uses DCbright and DarkLicht lighting systems for professional industrial applications.
These brands are used in environments where standard lighting falls short technically or operationally.
DCbright
The DCbright is used in harsh industrial environments where ruggedness, light output, mechanical strength, thermal design, and long-term reliability are critical.
DarkLicht
DarkLicht specializes in low-glare and full-cutoff lighting for applications where light quality, visual comfort, light pollution control, and DarkSky-compliant lighting are important.
As an exclusive distributor and application partner, JEL Products assists customers with the selection, engineering, project-based implementation, and technical coordination of these lighting systems.
An industrial lighting project doesn't stop at choosing a fixture.
In many applications, mast positions, structures, cabling, power cabinets, controls, optics, maintenance access, and installation quality ultimately determine the outcome.
Depending on the project, JEL Products provides support in the form of:
- Lighting design and lighting calculations
- Fixture selection and optical choice
- Masts, structures, and assembly solutions
- Light pollution and glare control
- Electrical Integration and Power Structure
- Installation, alignment, and commissioning
- Inspection, maintenance, and technical follow-up
This way, lighting is approached as part of an operational system, not as an isolated product request.
JEL Products serves professional clients in industries where safety, reliability, and continuity are of the utmost importance.
The company is ISO 9001 and VCA certified and works on a project basis for industrial, maritime, and infrastructural applications.
Our approach is focused on technically sound choices, clear scope definition, and solutions that fit the actual on-site circumstances.
- ISO 9001 certified quality management
- Working in high-risk environments with VCA certification
- Project-based approach for industrial applications
- Technical selection based on application and environment
- Experience with ports, terminals, offshore, heavy industry, and high temperatures
JEL Products was founded by Jaap de Graaf and Lucas de Graaf.
As a Dutch family business, we combine entrepreneurship with direct technical involvement in projects.
The lines between sales, engineering, execution, and customer contact are short.
This ensures that project specifications, technical choices, and execution remain closely aligned.
This structure fits our way of working: practical, substantive, and focused on solutions that remain functional in the field.
JEL Products was founded in Nijkerk by Jaap and Lucas de Graaf. Drawing on technical product expertise, entrepreneurial spirit, and international supplier relationships, the company has become a B2B specialist in rugged LED lighting for heavy-duty industrial, maritime, and mobile applications.
JEL Products has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with DCbright. As a result, JEL Products will serve as the point of contact for the selection, technical application, and project-based deployment of DCbright LED lighting within its industrial market segments.
JEL Products is assisting Van der Spek Vianen with the conversion of its tower crane fleet to industrial LED lighting. This project marks a significant step forward in the use of rugged work lights and floodlights on cranes, construction machinery, and heavy equipment.
JEL Products is supplying industrial LED lighting for the Jeddah Superdome project in Saudi Arabia. This project demonstrates that JEL Products’s lighting solutions are also being used in international projects where high lighting performance, reliability, and project-specific coordination are required.
With the introduction of DarkLicht, JEL Products is expanding its portfolio to include low-glare and full-cutoff lighting. DarkLicht is designed for applications where light control, visual comfort, glare reduction, and controlled light distribution are key considerations.
JEL Products is completing its first terminal project at DFDS in Vlaardingen. This project represents a significant step toward site and terminal lighting, combining lighting design, luminaire selection, mounting positions, and operational reliability in a working port environment.
JEL Products has reached the milestone of its 250th client. This achievement underscores the company’s growth in professional and industrial markets, with clients in sectors including construction, infrastructure, ports, offshore, heavy industry, cranes, and mobile machinery.
JEL Products has achieved ISO 9001 and VCA** certification. This formalizes the company’s continued commitment to quality, safety, and project-based execution for industrial clients, technical projects, and work in high-risk environments.
JEL Products has been in business for five years. What began as a family-owned business specializing in rugged industrial LED lighting has grown into a B2B specialist for project-based lighting solutions in ports, offshore facilities, heavy industry, high-temperature environments, cranes, and mobile machinery.
As the general contractor, JEL Products is responsible for the lighting for the entire terminal at BUSS Terminal Eemshaven. The project includes lighting design, engineering, lighting poles, infrastructure, installation preparation, alignment, and handover for a large-scale offshore wind terminal.
