Halco Lighting Technologies

What Halco Lighting Technologies does

Halco Lighting Technologies, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Norcross, Georgia, is a privately-held electronic manufacturer of lighting products for residential, commercial, and industrial end-markets. The company builds and sells a broad lighting portfolio spanning LED and conventional lamps, indoor and outdoor fixtures, exit and emergency luminaires, controls, and electronic components such as ballasts and ignitors. Its technical platform centers on LED lighting technology with field-selectable wattage and CCT (correlated color temperature) options across most fixture families, controls-ready 3.5mm receptacles for plug-and-play sensor integration, and the TruBlu Bluetooth-based wireless controls platform developed in partnership with mwConnect. Proprietary product lines include Sektor (outdoor area/flood lights with Lens Shift Technology), ProLED (indoor fixtures), ProLume (conventional lamps), VersaConnect (LED T8 linear tubes), and the Emergence/Evade life-safety brands; Topaz (acquired) and J&J Electronics round out the multi-brand portfolio.

The company operates a product-led go-to-market combining direct e-commerce through the MyHalco platform and Quick Order bulk system with a 'Where to Buy' distribution network of lighting and electrical supply partners across the United States. Revenue is generated almost entirely through hardware sales — LED and conventional lighting products, accessories and components, and made-to-order configurable items for specification-driven projects — with customer-specific pricing gated behind registered MyHalco accounts. Customer segments are horizontally organized, with commercial applications (offices, schools, retail) treated as the primary segment and residential and industrial (warehousing, manufacturing) as secondary; recurring revenue from a 'Halco University' training/certification program and digital content channels supports channel engagement but is not a material revenue line. Christopher Chickanosky is named as Chief Executive Officer; the company has raised prior capital from New Canaan Funding, Summer Street Capital Partners, Lineage Capital, and Next Capital.
