What CSC LED does

CSC LED is a Canadian wholesale distributor of commercial and industrial LED lighting products, founded in 2005 (originally as Earth-line SSL) and headquartered in Cambridge, Ontario. The company exclusively serves electrical wholesalers across Canada, with regional offices and warehouses in Ontario (Cambridge), Alberta (Calgary), and British Columbia (Port Coquitlam), enabling same-day pick-up and nationwide fast shipping.

The company's product portfolio spans 31 categories and 40+ product series, covering indoor, outdoor, commercial, and industrial LED applications — including high bays, panels/troffers, downlights, linears, flood lights, wall packs, bollards, canopy/parking garage fixtures, emergency lighting, and explosion-proof fixtures. Products are built using premium LED chips, reliable drivers, and thermal management systems, with notable features such as selectable wattage/CCT, adjustable beam angle (Fusion Flood Lights), and broad voltage support (120V–480V). The portfolio carries certifications including cETL, cUL, CSA, DLC, DLC Premium, EnergyStar, DarkSky, NEMA 4X, NSF, and IK05–IK10 impact ratings. A Technical Inventory API and Online Distributor Portal with live inventory, order tracking, 2% online discount, and a rewards program are offered to registered distributors.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales to electrical wholesalers on a pay-as-you-go unit pricing model, with clearance items offering up to 80% discounts. The company is privately held, bootstrapped, and founder-led, with no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or public financial reporting. Active product launches in 2025 (EML Series Emergency Lighting, CPM Canopy Light) and digital channel investments indicate ongoing portfolio and ecosystem expansion within the Canadian market.
