Growth Goal

As Thanksgiving approaches, I just want to take a moment to say how grateful we at Egret are for all of you!

After 25 years in the lighting industry, one thing has become clear: it’s the people who make this business shine, pun intended! We’ve witnessed how lighting not only transforms spaces but is also a metaphor for the brilliance and potential of the people in this amazing industry.

Whether we’ve worked together to help you build your team or help you further your career, we truly value the trust you’ve placed in us. We’re especially thankful for the connections and partnerships we’ve built with incredible people like you.

We hope your Thanksgiving is filled with warmth, laughter, and plenty of good food.
