BEGA Lighting

In the realm of US public infrastructure projects, BEGA is dedicated to compliance with domestic content laws such as the Buy American Act (BAA) and Build America/Buy America Act (BABA).

BAA/BABA Overview​

The Buy American Act(BAA) and Build America/Buy America Act (BABA) are designed to promote US industry development, and mandate that a significant portion of the materials and components used in public projects originate domestically. BEGA’s products are categorized as “Manufactured Products,” meaning the domestic content is determined by the cost of components that underwent their last “substantial transformation” in the US.

• BAA applies to direct federal procurement, with escalating domestic content thresholds: 60% since October 2022, 65% starting in 2024, and 75% by 2029.
• BABA focuses on federally funded grants for infrastructure projects, requiring that over 55% of a product’s components by cost be US-sourced.

BEGA's Compliance with Domestic Content Laws​

After a thorough supply chain review, a detailed audit of manufacturing processes and accounting treatments, and third party legal verification of our approach, BEGA North America is proud to announce that all commercial furniture and exterior luminaires, excluding those with predominantly steel, copper, bronze, or wooden housings/frames, comply with the U.S. domestic content requirements set forth by the Buy American Act (BAA) and the Build America/Buy America (BABA) Act, ensuring project compliance and positioning us as a trusted partner for iconic public works projects.

Domestic Content Requirements​

BEGA North America’s Exterior Lighting and Commercial Furniture Products are fabricated, finished, assembled, produced, and shipped from our facilities in Carpinteria, California, and Broomfield, Colorado, using U.S. and imported parts. Excluding interior luminaires and exterior luminaires featuring predominantly steel, copper, bronze, or wooden housings/frames, our exterior lighting and commercial furniture products meet the U.S. domestic content requirements of the Buy America Act (BAA), Build America/Buy America Act (BABA), and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

North American Trade Agreements​

Throughout the Americas, trade agreements play an important role when procuring goods from the United States. All BEGA North America Lighting and Furniture Products fabricated, finished, assembled, produced and shipped from our Carpinteria, California and Broomfield, Colorado manufacturing facilities qualify for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR).

The BEGA battery-powered table lamps extend the cosiness of pleasant summer evenings beyond nightfall. Our new battery-powered BEGA table lamps will keep you sitting outside on a warm summer evening for longer. With a battery capacity of twelve hours, you can stay up all night and wait for the sunrise. The wireless lamps instantly create atmospheric lighting for many cosy hours outdoors.

The BEGA battery-powered table lamps offer an impressive range of features. Robust housings in two different shapes catch the eye, even when not illuminated. As well as providing cosy lighting for a pleasant open-air atmosphere, the lamps are also designed with the environment in mind.

The light of the battery-powered table lamps is directed downward and shielded to prevent negative effects on the flight behaviour and orientation of nocturnal wildlife.

12 hours battery runtime at 100% light output deliver an impressive performance for independence on the patio or in the garden – so you can relax and enjoy the outdoors without a care. The integrated light and battery technology stands out for more than just its efficiency: all components are replaceable and, in the unlikely event of a repair, the comprehensive BEGA availability guarantee ensures the availability of replacements for 20 years after purchase. That’s what we call sustainable.

Thanks to the high protection class IP 54, rain is nothing to worry about. All components are efficiently protected and continue to perform reliably, even if the odd shower dampens your enjoyment of the outdoors.
