What EcoSense Lighting does

EcoSense Lighting, operating under parent entity Korrus, Inc., is a private specification-grade LED lighting manufacturer founded in 2009 and headquartered in Los Angeles. The company designs and produces architectural and commercial LED luminaires and lamps for high-end applications in hospitality, retail, museums, cultural institutions, airports, and corporate environments, serving specifiers, lighting designers, architects, and building owners. Its diversified product portfolio spans TROV linear fixtures (with the patented Flip to Flat hinge design and KAST auto-sensing protocol compatibility for DALI, DMX, 0-10V, and ELV), RISE marine-grade floodlights, LUMIUM architectural linear lighting acquired in 2019, Korrus Grid circadian wellness lighting, and SORAA full-spectrum LED lamps acquired in 2020, alongside an EcoSpec legacy product line.

The company's core technology emphasizes ultra-stringent LED binning (exceeding ANSI standards by 400%, within a 2-step MacAdam Ellipse) and proprietary flicker-free dimming down to 0% via Electronic Low Voltage (ELV) power-on-board architecture. Over 100 US patents protect TROV, RISE, and SORAA innovations, and products have earned recognition including Red Dot Best of the Best (2017), Lightfair Innovation Award Best in Category (2015), and LUX Award for the Science Museum London project (2013). Leadership includes Color Kinetics co-founder George Mueller as Chairman and Microsoft, Cree, and Philips Lighting alumni across C-suite and VP roles.

EcoSense generates revenue through hardware sales of proprietary LED fixtures and lamps distributed via a hybrid model combining manufacturer representatives across North America with authorized distributors in the UK (Architainment), East Asia (Creative Lighting Asia), Scotland (Solus), and Scandinavia (Stockholm Lighting). Customer deployments include Burberry, Tesla, BMW, Park Hyatt, Ritz Carlton, Disney, MGM Macau, Cathay Pacific, Whole Foods, and Science Museum London. Since founding, the company has raised approximately $71.5M in venture funding across multiple rounds led by Bain Capital Ventures, Flagship Pioneering, and Richmond Global Ventures, with the most recent disclosed round a $25M Series C in 2015.
