We engineer efficiency,

never compromising excellence.

Don't just go to market, take it by storm.

And it's smooth sailing from there.

Rapid Product Development

We maintain all engineering and tooling resources under one roof, enabling the fastest to market solution in the industry. Full fixture prototypes can be developed in just hours - our dedicated learning center efficiently assesses feasibility, and our testing capabilities deliver full performance characterization.

World Class Operations

Operational performance is the pride of this team. Anchored by a lean culture, we excel with short lead times, ensure on time delivery, and are able to adapt via a flexible supply chain. And this is never, ever, at the expense of quality.

History of Ecolite

A family owned, privately held business, Ecolite has been in the lighting business for over 40 years. That makes us a 3rd generation lighting family. What’s driven our leadership is a unique marriage of internal collaboration and superior client experience. The result is unmatched efficiency: fast product development and prototype delivery, complemented by operational speed and flexibility. We’re defined as an innovative lighting solutions company – not just a lighting industry fabrication house.

Our collaboration knows no ceiling.

Our Culture

Indeed we can create anything – any and all integrated fixture products and components. But the difference at Ecolite is twofold. First, we stand on constant innovation, and continual development of new techniques that offer benefits to clients. Secondly, we’ve instilled an atmosphere of teamwork and collaboration. Here, there is no compartmentalizing, there is no, “sorry that’s not my job.” What you will hear though is, “hey, I figured out a way to do this faster, let me help you.”

Waste not, waste not.

We approach every need from a total solutions standpoint, and what permeates every decision and process flow is the idea of lean manufacturing. Every team member embraces the significance of reducing waste, of both materials and time. From identifying obvious steps to unearthing subtle nuances, we enhance and develop processes that make us leaner. And the benefits of this are passed on to our architectural and commercial clients in the form of cost-efficiencies. To us, it simply doesn’t make sense to operate any other way.

A wealth of know-how.
