What Prima Lighting does

Prima Lighting, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Van Buren, Arkansas, is a family-owned decorative and commercial lighting manufacturer operating as part of the Arkansas Lighting Family. The company designs, manufactures, and sources LED-based lighting fixtures including interchangeable pendants, track heads, ceiling-mounted fixtures, ADA-compliant wall sconces, bathroom vanities, and lighted mirrors with optional smart features (Bluetooth speakers, USB charging, defogging, motion sensors). Approximately 50% of products are produced in-house at a 120,000 sq ft 100% solar-powered manufacturing facility, with the balance sourced through global production partnerships; select lines carry BAA, BABA, and TAA compliance for federal and municipal procurement.

The company serves a diversified base of commercial, institutional, and residential customers across restaurants, public spaces, retail, multi-family housing, government facilities, and active-adult communities. Distribution is hybrid: a nationwide network of regional sales representative groups handles project-based specification sales for commercial and government accounts, while a direct e-commerce storefront with a no-minimum-order policy serves smaller buyers. Custom lighting design services, including cultural-heritage-inspired pieces such as the Albuquerque International Sunport hammered aluminum pendant, support bespoke architectural projects. Go-to-market also includes industry trade shows such as LEDucation 2026. Pricing is one-time hardware purchase with Net 30 terms for credit-approved U.S. customers and firm pricing quoted in U.S. dollars for three months from order acceptance.
