JQ Green America

What JQ Green America does

JQ Green America (legal entity: JQ Green America, Inc. / DBA JQ Green America, LLC) is a privately held, California-based manufacturer of LED light bulbs founded in February 2004. The company designs and produces a broad portfolio of professional-grade LED bulbs — including MR8, MR11, MR16, AR111, G4, Bayonet, Wedge, COB G8, G9, E11, E12, E17, GU10, PAR16, and filament bulbs — together with T8 LED tubes, 2'x2' and 2'x4' LED panel lights, and a landscape series of ruggedized silicon-encapsulated bulbs for outdoor and hazardous environments. All products carry a 5-year warranty and the firm accepts custom designs and provides OEM service, positioning manufacturing flexibility rather than proprietary technology as its core capability.

The business runs on a factory-direct sales model targeting US retail distributors; pricing is not publicly disclosed and no customer logos or revenue figures are available. Distribution is supported from a Vista, California headquarters and four additional warehouses/offices opened in San Diego (May 2012), Miami (December 2016), New York (January 2018), and Houston (December 2018), enabling nationwide US shipping. Marketing is limited to organic social channels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) and an email newsletter.

The company is bootstrapped — no funding rounds, no parent company, no institutional investors — and operates with 1-10 employees. There are no disclosed patents, certifications, AI/ML capabilities, software products, or management team profiles. Strategic activity has been quiet since the December 2018 Houston warehouse opening, with no new product launches, geographic moves, or leadership changes recorded in the source material.
