Limmer Laser GmbH is a German company, specialising in the design, manufacture and sale of medical lasers and accessories. Our products cover all the major disciplines of human, dental and veterinary medicine. For each discipline a broad range of high quality accessories is available, such as the VACULAS smoke evacuator. The product range includes CO2 Lasers, Diode Lasers and Specialty Lasers.
The name of the company is an abbreviation standing for Laser Instruments New LINE. The company was founded in 1994 and established with the intention of being a scientific and research organization. Studying the mechanisms which influence the laser radiation impact on biological tissues became our main objective. Many thousand of tests have been conducted in the years since the company was established, laying a solid foundation for further scientific research conducted by LINLINE.
Currently, LINLINE is the world leader in the research and development of highly selective methods of impacting narrowly-targeted biological tissues, which is in very high demand by professionals of esthetic medicine all over the world. LINLINE holds several international patents, focused on securing unique methods of treatment.
LINLINE today is a succesfully functioning consortium of companies with multinational representation. Our headquarters is located in Berlin, Germany. The field of the company’s activity can be summarized as “laser medicine”.
Our equipment
We do not offer a miracle set of “medical hardware” to be used in laser cosmetological medicine. No! We offer a reliable means to achieve the necessary results to satisfy the patients` expectations and set goals. It would be enough for the operating doctor to choose a required procedure and the laser device will automatically set the optimal parameters of radiation. It is important that the preprogrammed sets of parameters have been repeatedly tested in practicing laser medicine.
Our plans
We will continue our development and search for innovative techniques to be applied in the field of laser surgery. We will remain loyal to our principle: to hand laser machinery to doctors only after we have made sure that we can guarantee that the doctor will succeed with the device which will provide the highest quality of medical care.
Little Sun is a social business and global project founded by artist Olafur Eliasson and engineer Frederik Ottesen to bring clean, reliable, affordable light to the 1.1 billion people around the world living in off-grid areas without electricity. The project’s first product, the Little Sun solar lamp, is sold all over the world. Purchasing Little Suns in areas of the world with electricity makes the lamps available in off-grid areas at reduced, locally affordable prices, where they provide a clean alternative to toxic and expensive fuel-based lighting such as kerosene lanterns.
Not only for off-grid areas, Little Sun is popular across the globe. For those with electricity, Little Sun is the perfect introduction to personal solar-powered light: it’s great for camping, festivals, at the beach, or for brightening your home, garden, or balcony. Little Sun welcomes collaborations with companies of all sizes who share their passion for solar energy or who would simply like to get involved in some capacity.
Little Sun addresses the need for light in a sustainable way that benefits off-grid communities by working with local entrepreneurs, creating local jobs, and generating local profits. The Little Sun project was officially launched in July 2012 at London’s Tate Modern. Since then, more than 270,000 Little Sun lamps have been distributed worldwide, with almost half going to off-grid areas. In April 2014, Little Sun received a ground-breaking $5 million impact investment from Bloomberg Philanthropies, making it possible to scale up Little Sun’s operations across the African continent.
Little Sun's second solar energy product is Little Sun Charge: a high performance solar phone charger which will launch in 2015. Little Sun Charge is a product with equal appeal to design-savvy types living on-grid as well as those needing a reliable source of energy for their mobile phones in off-grid areas.
For more than 20 years, LLA Instruments GmbH (LLA) develops and manufactures analytical technology for chemical imaging in process and laboratory usage. NIR spectrometer by LLA are utilised worldwide for the analysis and sorting of material streams e.g. waste separation in recycling. LLA technology enables the identification of PVC in PET-flakes sorting or identification of extraneous material in paper recycling at maximum efficiency. In addition, the imaging NIR spectrometers are also used in C & D recycling, minerals and food sorting. The NIR portfolio includes hyperspectral cameras as well as multiplexed NIR spectrometers. Further accessories such as illumination units, software package, RGB line scan camera and comprehensive support complete the NIR portfolio of LLA. The rugged product design is ideally suited for use in harsh environmental conditions. For standard applications, LLA provides ready-to-use analysis routines. Based on LLA's longtime experience, further applications can be developed and customised for new sensor-based sorting applications. The high-resolution Echelle spectrometer ESA 4000 was developed for the in-situ analysis of inorganic matter e.g. metal and glass and is used in high profile research projects. Element sensitive detection is realized by an on-line XRF analyzer.
LOMAGRI is working on a new application method for plant protection.
LOMAGRI's new spray machine SPROINTER will be able to spray natural vegetation in agriculture, gardening, greenhouses or forest, where the application is needed: by real time diagnostic while driving through the plantation and spraying precisely on target! Presently used systems spray pesticide continuously during application along the row/path. In comparison with them, the new technology will reduce the amount of chemicals used by more than 60%.
Exclusively for this application, LOMAGRI is developing a special optical sensor.
This completely new sensor detects morphological and physiological information from individual plants and entire rows of plants. The system will be able to identify and qualify them (real time diagnostics).
This booth will open wider opportunities for optimizing gardening, farming and forestry.

Lumi-Con develops and sells high-quality and innovative LED lighting products.
We are concentrating on the development of our own highly integrated electronic DIMMER modules for LEDs. In addition we offer modern and high efficient LED-Units and LED-Luminaires.
Our DIMMER modules are high reliable and efficient electronic components, which are controlled by touch-sensors. Thus, mechanic switches or potentiometers are avoided which improves reliability. The modules are operated directly from mains voltage (230V/50Hz). The integrated efficient switch mode controller adjusts voltage and current to the needs of LEDs. The design is micro controller based hence adaption to other driving conditions or applications are easily possible.
Innovative, modern, high efficient and reliable LED luminaires are completing our product spectrum. The luminaires are desigend with our reliable dimmer modules and LEDs from well known big suppliers and thus providing a lifetime of up to 40000 hours or 30 years.
