What Amerlux does

Amerlux is a US-based manufacturer of specification-grade architectural LED lighting fixtures, founded in 1984 and headquartered in Oakland, New Jersey. The company designs and produces a broad portfolio of interior and exterior luminaires — commercial downlights (1" to 8" apertures including Finch, Hornet 2.5, Hornet HP, Evoke, Stadia, Essenza, Classix, Solace), linear systems (Linea, Grüv, Curvano, Comfort Vue, Carisma, AisleFX, Grid Cove, Perimeter Cove), cylinders and pendants (Rook, Rook X), and connected exterior solutions (SmartSite). Core technology centers on proprietary optical systems — AisleFX delivers market-leading efficacy of up to 145 lm/W; Carisma has a patent-pending edge-to-edge integrated optical system; Comfort Vue uses precision-molded cellular louvers with metallized optics; ActiveCLEAN integrates VyV's 405nm UV-free antimicrobial technology. Products support tunable white, dim-to-warm, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and Bluetooth integration, and pair with Athena Controls and Delta Controls' O3 multisensors for smart-building automation.

The company operates a specification-driven B2B go-to-market: products are specified by architects and lighting designers during project design, then procured through a North American network of manufacturer sales representatives, electrical distributors, and lighting showrooms. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. End markets span commercial offices, retail and supermarket, hospitality, healthcare/institutional, municipal, and design-build projects. Amerlux markets through AIA/CES continuing education courses, trade shows (LEDucation 2026), an eLumenNation webinar series, a design gallery, and active social channels. The company has 101–250 employees, is privately held, and — effective March 2026 — is positioned within Delta Intelligent Building Technologies (DIBT) as part of parent Delta Electronics, organized alongside Delta Controls, LOYTEC, March Networks, and Vivotek into Smart Building, Smart Lighting, and Smart Security Lines of Business. International operations are anchored by a China headquarters in Guangzhou.
