Founded in 1976 as Luminaire Lighting Corporation, the company supplied units for public housing projects in New York City. Working closely with the City of New York and the Port Authority, the company developed a knowledge base of the challenges faced in lighting demanding environments. In 2011, the company changed its name to Luminaire Led to reflect the commitment to solid-state lighting technology. Luminaire Led now boasts over forty years of successful applications and has built up a reputation for providing the most rugged and durable lighting products in North America.
