What JD Lighting does

JD Lighting (also operating as "JD International Lighting") is a Pompano Beach, Florida-based wholesale distributor of lighting products serving commercial, industrial, and residential customers across the United States. The company was established in 1995 and operates five regional distribution centers — its Florida headquarters and DCs in Bensenville IL, Dallas TX, Cinnaminson NJ, and Las Vegas NV — providing same-day shipping on in-stock items and national coverage of all major US regions.

• Wave Lighting: US-based online lighting distributor with a comparable catalog of LED fixtures, fluorescent tubes, ballasts, and HID products, selling through an e-commerce storefront with bulk and account-based options targeting contractors and facility buyers.
• Lightbulbs.com: E-commerce lighting distributor carrying LED, halogen, CFL, fluorescent, and HID lamps alongside fixtures and ballasts, with account/pricing login flows and multi-pack offerings aligned to JD Lighting's contractor-focused value proposition.
• e-conolight: Online commercial lighting distributor focused on LED fixtures, retrofit kits, and controls sold to electrical contractors and facility managers with account-based pricing — directly overlapping JD Lighting's commercial/industrial customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Westinghouse Lighting: Long-established lighting brand and distributor selling LED, fluorescent, HID, halogen, and specialty bulbs through retailers, e-commerce, and contractor channels — overlaps with JD Lighting's product breadth but operates at significantly broader scale.
• Grainger: Large industrial MRO distributor with an extensive lighting category spanning LED fixtures, lamps, ballasts, and emergency lighting — overlaps with JD Lighting on commercial/industrial SKUs but serves a much broader facility-maintenance buyer base.
• Rexel: Global electrical distribution leader carrying lighting, controls, and electrical supplies through branch and online channels — overlaps with JD Lighting's catalog while adding extensive contractor relationships and international reach.
• Sonepar: World's largest electrical distributor operating lighting-dedicated brands and catalogs across the Americas, directly competing for the same commercial contractor accounts as JD Lighting but with far greater scale and branch density.
• Acuity Brands: Major US lighting manufacturer (Lithonia, Holophane, etc.) whose products flow into the same contractor and facility-management accounts JD Lighting serves, and whose expanding smart-lighting portfolio raises the bar for catalog relevance in commercial fixtures.
