Europe - Netherlands-based manufacturer ELC Lighting has announced a change in its distribution arrangement for Belgium. With effect from 1 July 2025, both its brands - the ELC range of DMX-over-IP lighting control products and the Green-GO family of digital wireless intercom solutions - will be exclusively supported in Belgium by a new partner, Luxillag.
The announcement follows the decision by long-standing sales partner AVL (Audio Visual Lighting bv) to cease operations. Founded by Luc Buytaert and Yolanda Eliano in 1995, AVL has been a firm supporter of both brands for many years.
“We began distributing ELC after they first showed the Focus Hand at PLASA in London,” remembers Luc. “Later, we got the chance to prove ourselves in distributing Green-GO. From day one, we had a close family bond with the people, especially with Silvio, Joost and Frans. This never changed.”
Now, however, Luc and Yolanda – partners in business and in life – have opted to enjoy a well-earned retirement. “We decided,” says Luc, “while we are still healthy, to enjoy life in the coming years, together with our children and grandchildren.”
They hand the baton to Brussels-based Luxillag, a distributor of lighting and AV solutions for entertainment, broadcast and architectural applications, headed by Gianfranco Galli. With clients including theatres, studios, live event providers and system integrators across Belgium, Luxillag has always focussed on offering top solutions backed by technical expertise and customer support.
Gianfranco looks forward to continuing the work of AVL. “ELC and Green-GO products are known for their reliability, flexibility, and ease of integration,” he says. “Both brands emphasise user-friendly design and real-world functionality, which are key strengths for our clients.”
ELC Lighting’s Silvio Cibien says, “We are so grateful to Luc and Yolanda for everything they have done for us over the years. It has been a pleasure working with them, and we wish them every happiness in their future lives.”
He adds, “We are also delighted to have a new partner like Luxillag to continue where AVL leaves off. They have the same focus on support that AVL always had, seeing every customer as important, whether large or small. We welcome them to the family.”
