What Think Green Solutions does

Think Green Solutions is a Canadian LED lighting project specialist serving commercial, industrial, warehousing, retail, municipal, and specialty facilities from its headquarters in Cambridge, Ontario. Founded in 2010, the company delivers engineered lighting systems through a five-stage end-to-end workflow: introductory consultation, on-site facility assessment, custom photometric design, certified professional installation, and post-installation commissioning and support. Core technology centers on commercial-grade LED fixtures sourced from leading manufacturers, offered in two warranty tiers (5-year and 10-year), supplemented by optional Bluetooth-enabled smart controls that allow facility operators to manage zones, brightness, and schedules from a phone or tablet. The offering is rounded out by a standalone Lighting Energy Audit service and in-house incentive and rebate management that can offset 20-50% of project cost through utility and government programs.

The business model is project-based and consultative, with revenue recognized on a per-project basis from one-time installations plus optional multi-year service agreements; financing programs allow clients to fund upgrades out of the energy savings generated. Sales are conducted through direct enterprise field engagement targeting facility managers, operations directors, and business owners. Documented customer outcomes include 30-70% energy reduction, a sub-2% fixture failure rate across thousands of installations, and case-study savings such as Greentec's 78% reduction and Canadian Tire Georgetown's verified $670,000 in savings over twelve years.

In April 2026, Think Green was acquired by Elevate Service Group Inc. for $5.15 million and now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary forming the national lighting platform of Elevate's facilities management business, while continuing to market under the Think Green brand. Prior to the acquisition, the company reported approximately $6.3 million in average annual revenues for 2024-2025 with 22-24% EBITDA margins.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc. Electrical wiring devices, lighting controls, and connected lighting manufacturer serving commercial and residential markets. Comparable because Leviton's lighting controls and smart-building products directly overlap with Think Green's Bluetooth smart-controls offering, though Leviton is a much larger diversified incumbent.
• Hubbell Incorporated: Electrical products manufacturer with a substantial lighting portfolio serving commercial, industrial, and outdoor applications. Comparable because Hubbell supplies LED fixtures and controls into the same facility types Think Green retrofits, often through electrical distribution channels.
• Acuity Brands, Inc. Major North American commercial and industrial lighting manufacturer offering LED fixtures, controls, and lighting services. Comparable because it serves the same end customers (industrial, warehousing, retail) and increasingly bundles controls and project services alongside fixtures.
• GE Current, a Daintree company: LED lighting and smart-building controls provider with a strong industrial and commercial footprint, including networked lighting controls. Comparable as a broad incumbent that combines LED fixtures with IoT controls — directly overlapping Think Green's core-plus-smart-controls positioning.
• Signify N.V. (formerly Philips Lighting): Global LED lighting leader selling fixtures, lamps, and connected lighting systems across commercial, industrial, and municipal markets. Comparable as the dominant incumbent whose product portfolio overlaps directly with Think Green's LED and smart-controls offering, but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• Cree Lighting: LED lighting manufacturer focused on commercial, industrial, and outdoor applications, including smart controls. Comparable as a fixture-and-controls incumbent competing for the same retrofit specification opportunities.
• Eaton Corporation (Cooper Lighting Solutions): Diversified power-management company whose Cooper Lighting Solutions business manufactures LED luminaires and connected lighting for commercial and industrial facilities. Comparable as a broad incumbent with overlapping product categories and similar end-market focus.

Direct peers

• Facility Solutions Group (FSG): National provider of lighting, electrical, and energy services to commercial and industrial customers across the U.S. Comparable because FSG delivers end-to-end LED retrofit projects with similar incentives-and-financing value propositions, and operates in many of the same verticals (retail, industrial, municipal).
• Ameresco, Inc. North American energy services company that designs and implements energy-efficiency projects — including LED lighting retrofits — for commercial, industrial, and public-sector customers. Highly comparable because Ameresco operates a project-based, incentive-driven delivery model similar to Think Green, but at significantly larger scale.
• Orion Energy Systems: Provider of LED lighting retrofits and energy-efficient lighting solutions for commercial and industrial facilities, including turnkey project delivery. Comparable as a direct competitor in the retrofit/installation space with similar customer profiles and project-based economics.
