Our story

Two Bretons, one light, two years of research

luciolles was born in a small village in Côtes d'Armor, from a very concrete need: to see at night without running a cable. Elouan and Dominique searched for two years to make it possible.

The story

From a Breton farm to photoluminescence

Four Breton scallop shells glowing phosphorescent green in the dark
  1. The starting point

    A night in the Côtes d'Armor

    Two sturdy Breton farmers, frustrated by the lack of visibility at night on their land. The grid didn't reach everywhere, and you couldn't wire everything.

  2. The spark

    Cherishing light instead of producing it

    Rather than generating more electricity, why not capture daylight and release it at night? The idea echoes the firefly — through a different route: mineral photoluminescence.

  3. Two years

    The luciolles formulation

    Two years of research and development to land a first stable formulation: 20 minutes of absorption, up to 12 hours of release. Enough to mark, secure, transmit.

  4. Today

    Five products, four sectors, one team

    luciolles now serves local authorities, businesses, industrial sites and healthcare facilities. Five products in the catalogue — from a child's nightlight to a memorial stele.

What guides us

An honest light

01

Transmission

Light is more than a technical tool: it's a metaphor. Truth, knowledge, hope — what luciolles makes visible in the dark.

02

Sobriety

Zero electricity after installation. No battery to replace, no cable to lay, no consumption to watch. The night needs no help from us.

03

French manufacturing

Our formulations are developed in France, for French use cases. A design office that listens to your « bright ideas ».

04

Useful poetry

We believe a well-placed light can calm a child, secure a path, honour a memory. Technique serves meaning.
