Toggled

What Toggled does

Toggled (legal entity ilumisys, Inc., operating as Toggled) is a Troy, Michigan-based manufacturer of commercial-grade LED lighting and developer of the Toggled iQ smart building controls platform, founded in 2007 and operating today as a wholly owned subsidiary of Altair Engineering Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTR). The company's core technology is direct-wire (Type B / ballast-bypass) LED tubes and a broader portfolio of LED fixtures, grow lights, and motion sensor switches, protected by more than 180 foundational patents covering LED lighting, controls, optics, communications, and power conversion circuitry. On top of the LED hardware base, Toggled iQ layers IoT-enabled networked lighting controls, occupancy and environmental sensors, gateways, switches, controllers, and a mobile app with analytics for real-time workspace and space-utilization data.

The company serves two primary customer segments: residential consumers buying direct-wire LED tubes for home use, and commercial buyers across healthcare, education, industrial, retail, horticulture, and office buildings. Revenue is generated principally through hardware sales of LED products and Toggled iQ devices, plus project-based revenue from utility-rebate-supported energy efficiency installations. Distribution combines Home Depot retail (where Toggled is the leading on-shelf direct-wire LED tube brand) and Home Depot Pro Desks at 2,000+ locations for commercial projects, alongside Toggled's own e-commerce store and a North American network of resellers, system integrators, platform partners, and energy services firms. Utility rebate partnerships with Consumers Energy and DTE Energy, plus implementation partnerships with firms such as Outsourced Innovation, Carbon Lighthouse, and Mid-Atlantic Energy Solutions, support energy-efficiency-as-a-service delivery in regional markets.

Operationally, Toggled employs 11-50 people and reports no independent funding rounds, growing under Altair's corporate ownership. Leadership comprises a COO with deep LED manufacturing experience, a VP of Technology leading hardware and firmware, a Director of Marketing, and a Senior Director of Sales. Quantified customer outcomes cited by the company include up to 70% energy savings from direct-wire LED conversion, additional 20% savings when paired with smart building controls (90% total), 50,000-hour product lifetimes, and a 6-year commercial warranty.
