What Inter-lux does

Inter-lux is a US-based specialty architectural lighting distributor founded in 2005 and headquartered in Halethorpe, Maryland, with 51-100 employees. The company curates and distributes a portfolio of LED lighting products through six represented brands: Whitegoods (minimal-form-factor LED fixtures for seamless architectural integration), Linea Light iLED (high-performance architectural and outdoor luminaires), Sattler (decorative and large-format pendants including the AVVENI and Light + Acoustic series), Stoane Lighting (B Corp-certified sustainable modular fixtures), IP44.de (outdoor decorative including solar), and Stilnovo (Italian-designed decorative fixtures). The technical stack centers on LED form factor, modular and remanufacturable construction, multiple light-source options (tunable white, RGBW, warm dim, static color), and BIM-ready specification support (Revit families, photometric data, driver information).

The business model is 100% indirect: Inter-lux does not sell direct or via e-commerce but exclusively through a nationwide network of independent trade representatives who specify and sell to architects, lighting designers, and contractors. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of lighting fixtures, with quote-based, non-public pricing, supplemented by a Quickship expedited-delivery program for time-sensitive projects. Customer end-uses span commercial office, hospitality (hotels and restaurants), high-end residential, healthcare, education, retail, transportation, and architectural landmarks, with named logos including Capital One, TIAA, Bloomberg, Houston Methodist Hospital, Four Seasons, Vanderbilt University, Allianz, Norfolk Southern, and the Empire State Building Observatory. BAA/BABA-compliant product designations enable bidding on US federal projects. No revenue, funding, or ownership information is disclosed.
