It focused on combining modern design, functionality, and competitive pricing for both residential and commercial customers. 2

The company also operated physical stores alongside its online business. 2

In January 2024, BHG Group, through the Nordic Nest Group, announced the consolidation of LampGallerian into Nordic Nest as part of a strategy to streamline operations and strengthen its premium home furnishings business. LampGallerian’s expertise in lighting complemented Nordic Nest’s broader home and interior offering. 1

The integration aimed to:

• improve operational efficiency
• centralize logistics
• reduce costs
• strengthen international expansion
• unify customer experience

On 11 June 2024, Nordic Nest Group announced that LampGallerian would officially change its name to Lightshop.

The rebranding included:

• Swedish website renamed to Lightshop.se
• International website renamed to Lightshop.com
• Complete integration into Nordic Nest infrastructure
• Unified logistics and customer service

The company stated that the change was intended to create a stronger international brand while retaining its specialization in lighting. Annual savings from the consolidation were estimated at approximately SEK 12 million. 1

Before its rebranding, LampGallerian was recognized as one of Sweden’s prominent online lighting retailers, known for:

• extensive lighting selection
• Scandinavian design focus
• strong e-commerce presence
• nationwide distribution
• specialist expertise

Although the LampGallerian name has been retired, its business continues under the Lightshop brand within the Nordic Nest Group. The product range, customer base, and lighting specialization remain part of the group’s premium home furnishings strategy. 1
