RP Lighting + Fans

What RP Lighting + Fans does

RP Lighting + Fans is a privately held US manufacturer and wholesale supplier of LED lighting fixtures and ceiling fans, founded in 1990 and headquartered at 105 Declaration Dr, McDonough, Georgia. The company operates exclusively as a B2B trade supplier, selling through electrical distributors and lighting showrooms across the United States and Canada, supported by an independent manufacturer-representative network with a public rep-locator tool. It carries no disclosed venture, private equity, or institutional ownership. The product portfolio spans recessed lighting (ultra-thin, fire-rated, retrofit, IC-rated, and slim disk downlights), ceiling fans (Aldea, Mirage IV, Europa IV, Contempo IV, Sabio, and Royal Knight series, many with integrated LED light kits), linear and under-cabinet lighting, wall/ceiling mounts, vanity lighting, outdoor wall packs and lanterns, exit/emergency lighting, track lighting, and decorative pendants. Technical differentiation centers on field-selectable CCT and wattage (5CCT across 2700K–5000K), high CRI (90+) LED sources, TRIAC dimming, fire-rated housings, and broad regulatory coverage including Energy Star, California Title 24/JA8, Title 20, DLC, ETL, cCSAus, and FCC.

The business model is hardware sales through wholesale distribution: account-based trade pricing with project quote requests, one-time perpetual-license pricing, and no direct-to-consumer e-commerce. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, but scale signals — 11–50 employees, 102 active new-product SKUs, multimillion-dollar investment in new warehouse facilities, and an explicitly expanding support team — indicate a small-to-mid-market trade supplier rather than a niche or major national brand. Customer segments are horizontal and centered on multifamily housing developers, commercial and specification-grade projects, and the distributor/showroom channel that serves residential remodel, new construction, and light commercial end markets. The company participates in the U.S. Department of Energy's Solid-State Lighting Quality Advocates program and emphasizes energy efficiency as the primary value proposition.
