Since 1904, Lightolier has stood at the forefront of architectural lighting innovation, pioneering solutions that have shaped how America illuminates its most important spaces. What began as a small operation crafting ornate chandeliers during the historic gas-to-electric conversion has evolved into a trusted specification-grade brand relied upon by architects, designers, and lighting professionals worldwide.
A Legacy of Innovation
Lightolier traces its roots to 1904 New York, when the company opened its doors during a transformative era in lighting history. Within two decades, we had earned a distinguished reputation among architects and homeowners who demanded fixtures that were as beautifully engineered as they were brilliantly lit. Those early years planted the design-first philosophy that continues to guide every Lightolier product today.
As architectural styles evolved from Art Deco to mid-century modernism and into the commercial boom of the late twentieth century, Lightolier adapted and led—introducing revolutionary systems like track lighting and digital control long before most competitors. Our pioneering momentum eventually drew the attention of Philips, the Dutch lighting giant, and Lightolier joined the Philips portfolio as a flagship specification-grade brand.
Today, one of our designs proudly resides in MoMA’s permanent collection—a testament to our commitment to merging functional excellence with aesthetic innovation.
