The company designs, manufactures, and distributes residential and commercial lighting fixtures under the 'CALUX | ILUMINACIÓN GLOBAL' brand, with a catalog of more than 600 SKUs spanning ceiling lamps, wall luminaires, recessed floor lights, mini-post fixtures, garden lights, step/courtesy lights, pendants, chandeliers, and accessories. Products are offered in LED and conventional technologies, with finishes including graphite, stainless steel, chrome, black, white, aluminum, and rustic styles, and technical specifications such as IP44/IP54 ingress protection, lumen output, and color temperature documented per SKU.

The company serves two primary customer segments: (1) construction and interior design professionals (architects, designers, lighting specialists) who specify and install Calux products in residential projects, and (2) residential end customers reached through the distributor channel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company uses a consultation model via website forms and WhatsApp. Calux generates revenue through one-time product sales via an authorized distributor network across Mexico, supplemented by a dedicated wholesale purchasing channel for registered business buyers and a distributor portal (portal-calux.mx) for partner management. Distribution is exclusively domestic (Mexico), with no evidence of international expansion, no public funding rounds, and no institutional investors identified in the available data.
