R-Lighting by Gau Lighting
Restoration, modernisation and compliance upgrades for your luminaires
In a market where durability is becoming a real requirement, R-Lighting turns reuse into workshop practice. We intervene on luminaires from Gau Lighting or any other maker when the goal is to preserve an existing piece and adapt it to current technical requirements.
Our workshop supports private owners, architects, decorators, hotels, restaurants, public institutions, and professionals who want a circular-economy answer to lighting: restore, repair, modernise, and keep existing pieces in use longer.
Beyond simple renovation, each intervention aims to preserve the character and quality of the luminaire while giving it a second life aligned with today's electrical, technical, and aesthetic standards.
Workshop interventions
What we can restore, repair, or modernise
The R-Lighting service adapts to the project's needs. It can bring together electrical standards upgrades, lampshade adaptation, LED conversion, structural repair, and finish restoration on a single luminaire.
Electrical upgrades & compliance
Our workshop carries out complete electrical refurbishment for virtually any type of lighting fixture.
- Replacement of lamp holders and sockets
- Replacement of electrical wiring
- Replacement of switches and plugs
- Complete rewiring of the fixture
- Full electrical inspection and safety testing
Lampshade conversion & adaptation
Changing a lampshade often requires more than replacing the shade itself. We adapt fixing systems and electrical fittings so that a luminaire can accept a new shade without losing its identity.
Modern LED conversion
Traditional fittings can be updated with more efficient lighting technologies while maintaining their appearance.
- LED strips
- LED modules
- LED panels
- Other custom lighting technologies
Lighting repair
Our teams repair fixtures affected by impacts, deformation, wear, or ageing, with each project assessed individually to preserve as many original parts as possible.
Metal restoration & refinishing
Metalwork remains at the core of our expertise, from surface restoration to complete refinishing.
- Decorative detailing on metals
- Surface restoration
- Painting
- Polishing, satin finishing, and micro-abrasive cleaning
- Patinas, bronze, brass, nickel plating, and bespoke surface treatments
Inspection & certification
Our workshop can inspect luminaires and provide compliance certificates where the intervention requires them.
Crafted in our French manufacture
A workshop where electricians, metalworkers, polishers, finishers, assemblers, and restoration specialists work side by side
Every R-Lighting project is carried out inside our manufacturing workshop in Seine-et-Marne, just outside Paris. Each year, our teams restore and modernise approximately 350 luminaires, combining heritage craftsmanship with current electrical and technical standards.
