American Lighting

What American Lighting does

American Lighting is a Denver, Colorado-based LED lighting manufacturer founded in 1989 that designs, produces, and distributes lighting solutions for residential and commercial applications. The company's product portfolio spans more than a dozen categories including TRULUX tape light, mounting channel, undercabinet fixtures, puck lights, downlighting, flexible linear neon and rope light, commercial light string, exterior fixtures, controls, drivers, and seasonal/holiday lighting. Its core technology centers on LED tape and linear systems with proprietary Spektrum+ smart connected lighting (RGB+TW with app and voice control), DMX and DALI protocol support for professional installations, and the ACE Product Configurator, a digital project planning tool. The company also operates the Prizm Lighting sub-brand for commercial architectural lighting, featuring precision optics and dynamic pixel products such as COVELUX, SENIK RIO, GRAZE, and the Senik Reflekt RGBW fixture. Recent product launches include the NAVI Dim and NAVI CCT Series integrated in-wall controls (October 2025), Twilight Trim permanent under-eave lighting, and an expanded ultra-slim COB Tape Light line.

The company generates revenue primarily through hardware sales across three channels: direct-to-consumer e-commerce on americanlighting.com (with an AMLSAVE5 5% promotional discount), an authorized dealer network accessible via a Where to Buy locator, and a dedicated sales representative portal for trade and commercial customers. Additional revenue comes from custom cut services for tape light products sold to specification. Pricing is unit-based for consumer purchases and quote-based with multi-year contract potential for commercial projects. The customer base is distributed across residential end-users, professional installers and contractors, and architectural and commercial lighting designers, with no disclosed enterprise anchors. The company is privately held under American Lighting Inc., a Colorado corporation, with no parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional investors identified.
