Lanthan GmbH & Co. KG is a German-based developer and distributor of aircraft warning lights and lighting systems. Headquartered in Bremen, the company has established itself as a specialist in obstruction lighting for aviation safety, serving sectors such as wind energy, broadcasting, construction, and infrastructure. Since its founding in 2004, Lanthan has grown into a trusted partner for clients worldwide seeking high-quality, durable lighting solutions that meet strict regulatory standards.
Lanthan’s product portfolio includes a wide range of low and medium-intensity obstruction lights, suitable for applications where aircraft warning lights are required. The company also offers specialized systems such as autonomous and solar-powered lights, weather-resistant housings, coloured signal lights, and setups for both day and night visibility. These solutions are designed to ensure the highest standards of safety while also offering energy efficiency and reliability, even under harsh environmental conditions.
The company takes pride in developing lighting systems that are not only robust and long-lasting but also highly adaptable to customer needs. Many of Lanthan’s products are engineered for use on wind farms, broadcast masts, cranes, and similar structures where aviation safety is paramount. Their technology includes rotating and fixed systems, infrared lighting options, and transponder-based activation, which allows lights to automatically illuminate in response to nearby aircraft signals. This intelligent feature helps reduce unnecessary light emissions and improves energy consumption.
In addition to lighting hardware, Lanthan integrates modern communication and monitoring capabilities into its systems. With cloud-based monitoring available via GSM or Ethernet, customers can remotely manage their lighting setups in real-time through a dedicated mobile application. This ensures ease of maintenance, quick fault detection, and uninterrupted compliance with aviation regulations.
Lanthan’s operations are supported by two main facilities. The Bremen headquarters spans approximately 1,700 square meters and houses departments for administration, sales, product development, and the production of control electronics. A second facility in Gefrees, managed in cooperation with TWE GmbH, covers an additional 1,800 square meters and is dedicated to the manufacture, measurement, and testing of lighting components.
The company is known for its flexibility and readiness to deliver customized solutions that meet the individual requirements of clients and regulatory authorities. Whether for temporary installations during construction or permanent infrastructure needs, Lanthan’s approach is rooted in reliability, innovation, and technical precision.
Today, with a lean team of highly skilled professionals and a reputation for quality, Lanthan continues to contribute to aviation safety across global markets. Their lighting systems are recognized for their reliability in demanding environments and their ability to integrate seamlessly into complex infrastructure projects.
