What Lighting Innovation Technology does

Lighting Innovation Technology, operating as LIT Group, is a Los Angeles-based specialty architectural LED contractor serving high-end residential construction projects. The firm designs, fabricates, installs, and commissions concealed LED lighting systems—concealed linear lighting in coves, reveals, stair treads, toe kicks, and millwork channels, as well as backlit translucent stone installations using ultra-thin custom LED panel arrays behind onyx, quartzite, marble, and agate. Work is performed from a Van Nuys studio and fabrication shop where channels, panels, and custom assemblies are built and burn-in tested before field delivery, including sample bench-testing against actual stone slabs to confirm glow quality prior to specification.

LIT Group positions itself as the dedicated owner of the architectural LED scope that otherwise falls into the gaps between electrical, stone, cabinetry, controls, and finish trades. The company coordinates driver selection and dim curve tuning across Lutron, Crestron, Control4, and Savant residential control platforms using 0-10V, ELV, DALI, and phase-dim protocols. Revenue is generated through one-time project-based specialty subcontractor engagements, secured via RFQ and bid processes with general contractors, architects, designers, stone fabricators, and controls integrators. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The firm operates as a privately held, founder-led entity (Amir Hazrati, Founder & CEO) with 1-10 employees, serving luxury residential markets across Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Sherman Oaks, and Hollywood Hills. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by trade-partner referrals, a partner-page website, an Instagram presence (@litgroupled), and a technical blog (Field Notes). The portfolio spans 2020 to present with 194+ documented project images.
