LSAV

What LSAV does

Borealux is a privately held Canadian LED lighting manufacturer headquartered in Quebec, Canada, founded in 2008. The company designs and manufactures high-performance LED lighting solutions — including LED tapes (12V/24V variants in multiple lumen outputs, RGBW, and CCT-variable configurations), LED sheets, aluminum extrusion profiles, flexible neon, recessed fixtures, power supplies (12W–350W), architectural and commercial fixtures, and a DMX-based control ecosystem (controllers, decoders, dimmers, amplifiers). LED tapes are produced in-house in Quebec, with third-party certified products (cETLus, Class 2/Class P, Intertek, UL Listed, IP20/IP67) supporting safety and durability claims; all products carry a 5-year warranty.

Borealux operates exclusively through a B2B channel model, distributing exclusively via a network of 13 regional sales agents covering all major Canadian provinces (Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Atlantic provinces) and select US territories (Northeast, Southeast Florida, New York metro, Pennsylvania/Southern New Jersey/Delaware). The company sells to lighting professionals — architects, engineers, designers, and contractors — and quotes are issued through agents with a 1-business-day turnaround promise. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of LED products, with ancillary revenue from custom assembly/professional services for ready-to-install configurations.

The customer base spans a diverse project portfolio including enterprise hospitality (Home2Suite by Hilton), sports venues (Stade Saputo, Steinbach Pistons), entertainment and cultural institutions (Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Star Wars Identities Exhibition, Monument National), commercial real estate (GM Financial Building, Logisco), municipal projects (Sept-Îles Cruise Pavilion), educational institutions (Traill College Amphitheatre), and OEM customers (Loki Coach recreational vehicles). Despite 15+ years of operating history, the company remains small (1–10 employees), privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or patents.
