About Arco Illumination

Precision.
Heritage.
Purpose.

Three decades of manufacturing depth. A portfolio of 80+ patents granted and pending across the US, EU, and Asia. One unwavering principle: in the environments where Arco products operate, precision is not optional.

Our Story

Three Decades.
Five Categories.
One Standard.

Arco Illumination is the consumer-facing brand of General Luminaire Ltd — a Singapore-headquartered manufacturer with 30 years of experience supplying private-label marine, commercial, and architectural lighting to operators across Asia and North America. For three decades, this engineering depth was delivered under other brands. Today, it is brought to market directly under the Arco Illumination identity.

The Arco product line now spans five categories — each held to the same engineering and manufacturing standard.

En-Vision is the precision marine search-light series, delivering up to 9.0 MCD peak intensity for coast guard, search and rescue, commercial fishing, and offshore operations — a system that would have cost $15,000–$50,000 under a legacy private label, now available at under $5K at entry level. Architectural brings six product families — Jema, Lexi, Meri, Rosi, Teri, Tiaa — to facade, cove, projection, and direct-view media work, all running the Coda / Forte / Tone control stack with patented Sense, Shift, and Token technologies built in. Sense is Arco's connected-lighting platform: eight luminaires for industrial and commercial buildings, networked on the proprietary Sense BLE mesh protocol with patented occupancy-driven adaptive control. Health and Arena — clinical, care-environment, and large-venue lighting — are partially ready, with launches planned as the same engineering rigour is applied to each new vertical.

Same engineering DNA across every category. Same standards-grade compliance — IP66 wet-location, IK08 impact, ANSI C136.31 vibration, ASTM B117 corrosion. Same governing principle: in the environments where Arco products operate, compromise is not a choice.

Arco Illumination is an LED illumination specialist serving commercial applications across the ASEAN market, headquartered in Singapore. We are committed to environmental stewardship and corporate social responsibility — building products that lead the way to a brighter, greener future.

How We Work

Four Principles.
Every Product.

The same four principles govern every product Arco brings to market — from marine searchlights to architectural luminaires.

01

Precision is Non-Negotiable

In the environments where Arco products operate, failure is not recoverable. Every product is engineered to the specification that circumstance demands — not the specification that cost allows.

02

Heritage Enables Innovation

30 years of manufacturing depth is not a legacy burden — it is the platform from which entirely new products become possible. The en-vision 6 is only achievable because of three decades of optical engineering behind it.

03

Accessibility Opens Markets

Professional-grade gyro-stabilized searchlights were inaccessible to the small commercial and recreational market — not because the technology didn't exist, but because no one had packaged it at the right price. Arco exists to change that.

04

One Architecture. Every Mission.

The same optical and engineering DNA runs through every Arco product — whether it's illuminating a rescue operation at 3 km or defining a hospitality interior. One architecture. Infinite applications.

Intellectual Property

An 80+ Patent Portfolio

Three decades of engineering have produced a deep, defensible IP portfolio — over 80 utility and design patents granted and pending across the US, EU, and Asia. Below are two of the flagship US patents that anchor the En-Vision marine searchlight platform.

US 12,600,445 B1
Marine Rescue Searchlight System with Dual-Axis Azimuth Control and Gyro-Stabilized Beam Projection
US 11,096,254 B1
Multi-Scattered Light-Source Illumination Apparatus

Full portfolio includes 7 US utility patents, 7 US design patents, 30+ Chinese utility & design patents, and 25+ pending filings across US, EU, and Asia. Full patent register available on request.
