What Kenall Lighting does

Kenall Manufacturing, doing business as Kenall Lighting, is a specification-grade lighting fixture manufacturer founded in 1963 and headquartered at 10200 55th Street, Kenosha, Wisconsin, where it operates domestic manufacturing and assembles products compliant with the Buy American Act, Trade Agreement Act, and Build America Buy America Act. The company designs and produces LED luminaires and lighting control systems engineered for challenging, regulated environments where standard commercial fixtures fail — including healthcare patient rooms, behavioral-health facilities, correctional institutions, cleanrooms and pharmaceutical containment, food processing plants, hazardous (Class 1 Division 2) locations, parking structures, transportation platforms, and high-abuse architectural and institutional spaces. Its core technology stack rests on several proprietary platforms: Indigo-Clean, a 405nm visible-light continuous environmental disinfection system with quantified kill rates against SARS-CoV-2, Influenza-A, MRSA, and C. diff; TekLink, a portfolio of wired and cloud-based lighting controls; BIOS SkyBlue circadian lighting; KORE optical technology; Narrow Spectrum LED options (amber, red, blue) for wildlife and spectrally sensitive applications; and Tunable White LED drivers supporting 2700K–6500K.

The company monetizes through direct hardware sales of luminaires and controls, distributed primarily via a North American network of manufacturer representatives and direct regional sales managers serving specifiers, contractors, and facility managers in vertical markets. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are routed through a Rep Locator and direct sales contact for project-based specification work. Kenall operates as a wholly-owned brand subsidiary of Legrand, the global electrical and digital building infrastructure group, and sells exclusively in North America. Its product portfolio includes the MedMaster healthcare series, SimpleSeal sealed luminaires, Millenium high-abuse architectural fixtures, Mighty Mac correctional lighting, TekLink controls, Helos parking luminaires, Stratalume undercabinet products, the iMAGINE biophilic line, and a sub-brand portfolio (Indigo-Clean, MedMaster, Millenium, SimpleSeal, Mighty Mac, TekLink). Recent product activity has centered on the MedMaster Pillow and Pillow Slot Series launch (January 2026) and the MedMaster Saturn behavioral-health luminaire, the latter recognized on Building Design + Construction's 75 Top Building Products list for 2025.
