about us
Light:Guard is a young German company providing ADLS solutions. We employ around 50 people in the locations Dresden and Hamburg.
Drawing on experience in the field of ADLS since 2008, we maintain cooperations with renowned manufacturers of wind turbines such as GE, Nordex and Vestas.
Quite a few milestones have been added over the years. Scroll on and learn more about the development of our company.
Sister company Quantec Sensors has been researching transponder-based ADLS.
Light:Guard GmbH is being founded by Alexander Gerdes, Managing Director of Quantec Sensors, to produce and distribute the newly developed transponder-based light:guard Aircraft Detection Lighting System.
In October 2020 Yvonne Mosler and Willi Lehmann join Light:Guard as managing directors.
One month later, the light:guard system passes the type examination and is thus officially approved for wind turbines (WTGs) in Germany.
Light:Guard starts cooperations with the leading WTG manufacturers GE, Nordex and Vestas.
Since July 2021, the light:guard system is part of the Vestas full maintenance contract.
The sales department is established. Over 3000 wind turbines will be contracted in the next years.
The project management department is enlarged and partnerships are started with service providers who carry out the installations on site.
A dedicated warehouse is opened at the Dresden site.
The team has grown continuously and now has almost 50 employees working at the three locations in Isernhagen (Hanover), Hamburg and Dresden.
The Business Development department is being set up to take the topic of ADLS abroad and, in the long term, to open up further markets.
Light:Guard provides unlimited internet data for wind farms in cooperation with the sustainable mobile provider WEtell.
The three hundredth light:guard receiver has been installed.
In the summer, the partnership begins in the Netherlands with Topwind BV, which distributes the light:guard system in the market there.
The company headquarters move to Freiberger Straße 112 in Dresden, where the office and warehouse have been located at one site since the previous year.
The data analysis team is expanded. In addition, the company's own test vehicle is put into operation. This means that measurements can be carried out much faster and more cost-effectively.
Yvonne Mosler leaves the management team.
The 100th wind farm goes dark in June.
