Trusted Lighting & Control Solutions Provider
Founded in 1976 by Harry McGovern and Gene LaFace, our company has dedicated over four decades to addressing lighting project challenges and advancing innovative technologies. We represent premier manufacturers, employ top-tier professionals, and deliver exceptional customer service. In 2010, we expanded our reach by acquiring Lighting Sales Associates Inc., extending our service area to include West Virginia, Southern Ohio, and Eastern Kentucky. Our team combines outside and inside sales forces to serve both commodity and specification markets, specializing in energy-efficient solutions. The 1990 establishment of our Specialty Lighting Division revolutionized stage and studio lighting for television, theatrical, and architectural dimming projects.Under the leadership of Lighting Controls Division Manager Brian Miedel since 2001, we became experts in Acuity Brand Controls, Crestron, ETC, and LVS systems. Our leadership transition in 2022-2023 ensured continuity, with Brian Miedel assuming the presidency and Don Kosanovich joining as principal. This strong foundation enables us to provide comprehensive commercial and residential LED lighting solutions across Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and surrounding regions. Our commitment to quality remains unwavering, as evidenced by our representation of industry-leading manufacturers and tailored service offerings. With decades of collective experience, we continue to illuminate spaces with cutting-edge technology and personalized support.
