Xico Lighting

What Xico Lighting does

Xico Lighting is a privately held architectural LED lighting manufacturer headquartered and operating a factory at 19 Wheeling Avenue in Woburn, Massachusetts. The company designs and builds specification-grade LED fixtures organized into five product series — NANO (sub-1 inch aperture), MICRO (sub-1.5 inch), EDGE (edge-lit), GRID (T-bar/grid ceiling), and PRO (2-4 inch aperture) — spanning cove, pendant, surface, recessed, wall, rail, and undercabinet mounting configurations. All products embed patented SmartBeam adaptive wavefront optics, Fusion Optix LED engines and SmartOptics assemblies, plus SunDial / BIOS SkyView circadian options, and are manufactured in Massachusetts with BABAA / Made-in-USA compliance and Declare / Red List Free / WELL / LEED certifications.

The company sells exclusively through a project-driven, quote-based commercial motion: a network of XICO Agents in the United States and Canada delivers localized specification support, complemented by factory-direct enterprise sales ([email protected], +1 781 497 8127) targeting architectural, design, engineering, and contractor channels. Revenue is generated entirely through hardware sales of fixture units, including custom lengths, shapes, finishes, and acoustic panel integrations, with no recurring software or service revenue line visible. Customer base is diversified across K-12 and higher education, corporate offices, biotech, healthcare, retail fitness, automotive services, religious, and recycling facilities, with named installations including Waltham High School, University of Nebraska, UniQure, MSC Group Headquarters, B/SPOKE Cycling, and AAA.

The business operates with 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, and no management team information available in source material. There is no public listing, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no recorded M&A activity. Xico's competitive position rests on its patented optical IP, multi-vendor controls interoperability (Lutron, Casambi, Cooper/Eaton, eldoLED), and its compliance stack (BABAA, WELL v2, LEED, Title 24, DLC, UL/CSA) which together qualify it for federally funded and sustainability-driven specification projects where foreign-manufactured competitors are excluded.
