Light Blue

What Light Blue does

Light Blue USA, Inc. is a Brooklyn, New York-based designer and distributor of premium LED lighting products serving residential and commercial customers in the United States. Founded in 2009, the company operates with a headcount of 11-50 employees and a privately held, no-external-funding ownership structure. Its product portfolio spans LED strip lighting (including the proprietary SCOB series), aluminum channels and profiles, 30W-600W power supplies, and a range of controllers (DMX512, RF, WiFi) along with downlights, retrofits, surface-mounted disks, ceiling fixtures, panel lights, linear pendants, step lights, exit signs, wall sconces, outdoor fixtures, and commercial-grade luminaires.

The company's underlying technology centers on LED chip architectures—SCOB (Segmented Chip on Board), COB (Chip on Board), SMD LEDs, and Neon strip diffusion—combined with a "5-in-1" multi-protocol driver family supporting Triac, 0-10V, DMX512, and RF dimming. Light Blue emphasizes Color Rendering Index of 90+, IP20-IP67 ratings across use environments, CCT selectability from 2300K to 6500K, and compatibility with major lighting-control ecosystems. The product line carries multiple safety and efficiency certifications (ETL, UL, Energy Star, DCL, CE, FCC).

Light Blue generates revenue almost exclusively through unit-priced hardware sales on its direct e-commerce storefront at lightblueusa.com, supplemented by a RayHIL-operated regional agent network for professional and commercial buyers and inside phone sales. Products are priced by wattage, lumen output, CRI, IP rating, and feature set, ranging from entry-level strip lights to high-output SCOB and PCB Series strips. Customer segments are horizontal—residential homeowners and remodelers alongside architects, designers, electrical contractors, and commercial builders—with warranties of up to 5 years on qualifying products. Revenue, transaction volume, and channel mix are not publicly disclosed.
