What Illumus does

Illumus is a privately held US lighting company headquartered in Sanford, Florida, established in 2020 as the parent entity for two operating brands, Green Creative (GC) and ILP (Independent Lighting Partners), with additional sub-brand series including envi Collection, Envirobrite, Value Select, and X-Series. The company sells an LED and TLED (tubular LED) hardware catalog of roughly 1,619 product styles spanning replacement lamps (A-Type, BR, PAR, MR, PL, T5, T8, HID retrofits, filament, decorative), downlights and track lighting, indoor fixtures (high bays, low bays, strips, troffers, vapor tights, wraps, stairwell, hazardous-location, exit and emergency), and outdoor fixtures (area lights, bollards, canopy, cylinders, floods, parking-garage, wall packs). Technical differentiation is concentrated in controls-ready product families (VPAN Select, VST, VTK) with built-in smart-control integration, CCT and power-selectable products, and a notable Build America, Buy America (BABA) compliant offering such as the BABA T8 UEB, alongside broad DLC Standard/Premium qualification and UL 924 listed emergency units.

The business model is B2B hardware sales exclusively through the electrical distribution channel. Revenue is generated via approved-account trade pricing from a portal-based ordering system (portal.illumus.com), supported by a network of authorized agents and manufacturer's representatives with brand-specific locator tools, multi-warehouse US inventory visibility, credit applications for trade terms, and weekly stock reports. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with listed product prices showing $0.00 placeholders. The segmentation strategy spans both use cases (office, industrial/warehouse, parking garage, outdoor) and verticals (education, healthcare, airports, auto dealerships, government facilities, retail/hospitality, recreation/parks), giving the company broad exposure to commercial, industrial, residential, and government end-markets in the United States. The company has 251-500 employees, no disclosed revenue, no disclosed funding rounds, and no disclosed ownership structure.
