Relumination

What Relumination does

Relumination, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, is a privately held, national LED lighting contractor that designs, sources, installs, commissions, and services energy-efficient lighting systems for commercial and industrial facilities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The company operates a turnkey model covering customer needs analysis, engineered system design using photometric modeling and BIM tools, project management, utility rebate administration, on-site installation by licensed electricians, and post-installation maintenance. Relumination serves Fortune 500 enterprises and mid-market operators across warehouse and distribution, manufacturing, retail and hospitality, transportation, and exterior lighting verticals, with project sizes ranging from 2,000 sq ft restaurants to 1,000,000+ sq ft facilities.

The company's core technology stack is device-agnostic, drawing LED fixtures from premier manufacturers including Acuity Brands, GE, and Digital Lumens, and integrating intelligent controls platforms such as Digital Lumens LightRules and SiteWorx for daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, per-zone scheduling, and shift-based programming. A six-step proprietary methodology (Customer Needs Analysis, Engineered System Design, Project Proposal, Implementation & Project Management, Post-Implementation, and ongoing Service & Support) underpins delivery, and a 1-year parts-and-labor warranty is standard. Distribution leverage comes from national distributor pricing and volume purchasing; customer-side savings come from Trade Ally rebate capture across 15+ US utilities that has yielded $12M+ in incentives on customers' behalf.

Relumination generates revenue primarily through project-based turnkey installation contracts, supplemented by recurring maintenance and repair service programs, a distribution-only channel that supplies fixtures and design packages to facilities with internal maintenance teams, and pre-sale consultation engagements used as lead generation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm reports 100M+ sq ft and 1M+ LED fixtures converted across its portfolio, $92M+ in annual customer energy savings, 24M+ lbs of CO2 emissions avoided, and an average 57% first-year ROI on customer projects. Named customers include Cardinal Health, Albertsons, Harbor Freight, Dillard's, Macy's, 3M, Aetna, Domino's, REI, SanMar, Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, and Knight Transportation, among others. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding events and is led by founder/CEO Daniel Henderson.

Revenue model

1. LED Lighting Installation Projects (Turnkey): Primary revenue stream. One-time project-based contracts where Relumination designs, procures, installs, and commissions LED lighting systems. Projects range from 2,000 sq ft restaurants to 1,000,000+ sq ft facilities. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; includes project proposal with custom layout, product recommendations, energy savings analysis, utility incentives, total upgrade costs, ROI analysis, and implementation timeline. Financing options offered.
2. LED Lighting Maintenance & Repair Services: Recurring service revenue via licensed electricians providing on-call or scheduled maintenance programs, including driver replacements, group-re-lamp campaigns, and centralized asset data management for multi-site portfolios. Warranty administration (1-year parts and labor) also included.
3. LED Distribution / Fixture Supply: Relumination supplies custom-designed lighting packages — fixtures, photometric layouts, and installation instructions — directly to facilities with internal maintenance teams or preferred contractors. Leverages national distributor pricing and volume purchasing power.
4. LED Lighting Consultation Services: Pre-sale advisory/consulting engagements providing lighting audits, energy efficiency analysis, ROI/cost-benefit analysis, photometric analysis, project management support, and maintenance/repair consultation. Often a free lighting consultation is offered as lead generation feeding the turnkey project pipeline.

Core offering

Relumination is a turnkey national LED lighting contractor that designs, sources, installs, commissions, and maintains energy-efficient LED lighting systems for commercial and industrial facilities. Offerings span project delivery (consultation, engineered design, installation), ongoing maintenance and repair services, and distribution of LED fixtures and controls to facilities with internal teams. The company pairs LED fixtures with intelligent controls platforms (Digital Lumens LightRules, SiteWorx) to deliver daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, and shift-based scheduling.

Product overview

Relumination is a single, unified national LED lighting service offering rather than a modular software platform. Its portfolio is organized around two core service lines—Commercial LED Lighting Services and Industrial LED Lighting Services—supported by four cross-cutting service modules: LED Lighting Consultation Services, LED Lighting Design Services, LED Lighting Maintenance and Repair Service, and LED Distribution Services. The Commercial and Industrial service lines are delivered into five named industry-application verticals: Warehouse & Distribution, Manufacturing, Retail & Hospitality, Transportation, and Exterior Lighting. Together these products cover the full project life cycle (needs analysis, engineered design, project proposal, installation, post-implementation verification, and ongoing service) for LED retrofits and new-construction lighting projects nationwide.
