MIV has been recognised in the Italian and international markets for more than 10 years as one of the leaders in the marketing of components for the lighting sector, thanks above all to the high availability of the product and the speed of logistics management. Over 6000 items are available for immediate delivery with a 24-hour shipping service: high quality and maximum reliability of the products in compliance with current European and non-European regulations, thanks to the work of top suppliers in the lighting sector that the company has been using for years, even operating for some of these as distributors.

The MIV sales department is always available to quickly provide suitable estimates for every kind of need in a short time. The relationship with customers is followed by agents present throughout the country and by the internal technical office, which constantly updates customers on new products and technologies. Among the latest is the entry into force of the Ecodesign Directive for lighting (EU REGULATION 2019/2020), which helps to simplify and unify EU rules regarding lighting products. In addition to new parameters to be respected, the previous elements and amendments of the Ecodesign legislation are all now part of a single standard. The EPREL directive supports the EU’s commitment to ensure safety and eco-sustainability in the lighting sector using increasingly efficient devices that conform to the guidelines. Among the demands to meet are the introduction of the new energy label, the simplification of the construction of lighting fixtures to make them easily repairable, the limitation of flicker values and the strobe effect.

MIV has immediately taken action to assist its customers and recommend the products that best meet the new requirements and adapt to the lamp structure, avoiding expensive variations that sometimes even change its aesthetics. In particular, thanks to the collaboration with Vossloh-Schwabe, of which it is a distributor, MIV presented a series of 220Vac LED modules (both COB and SMD) with an integrated driver, which fall within the strict limits imposed by the Ecodesign directive and replace the previous generation, guaranteeing customers the continuity of the production of fixtures designed for operation with this type of light source.

For those who use LED modules (COB and SMD) or LED strips combined with separate drivers, the company offers complete systems from Vossloh-Schwabe, which – in addition to guaranteeing high energy efficiency – are synonymous with the quality of the light emitted and reliability over time. Fundamental for the management of lighting (with consequent benefits for energy saving and the devices used) is the choice of the control system, whether it is a small system – such as the single lamp or the domestic environment – or a large surface such as production areas, commercial and hospitality facilities.

Thanks to constant updating and the experience gained in the application and production field, MIV collaborates with its customers on the design, prototyping and, if required, programming with final testing of the control system with the most suitable technology for the use required (Bluetooth, WI-FI, Dali, DMX, etc.).
