L.A. Lighting News - February 2024

New Developments in the L.A. Lighting Factory

At L.A. Lighting, we’re constantly updating and modernizing our factory in order to build state-of-the-art lighting products as quickly, efficiently, and safely as possible. As we kick off 2024, we're especially excited about two recent additions to our Los Angeles manufacturing facility:

Salvagnini P1 Panel Bender

A computerized panel bending machine that allows us to shape flat steel pieces into intricate luminaire housings. Provides a new level of speed and precision when bending metal.

Packsize EM7 Packaging System

A versatile box-making machine that allows us to create custom packaging for any size luminaire. Cuts down on cardboard waste while ensuring our products will be boxed for maximum safety and efficiency.

Next time you're in Los Angeles, stop by the factory for a look at the new machines in action. We love showing off our toys, and even after 35 years of building quality, American-made lighting products, we're still passionate about getting better, faster, and more efficient!

Specializing in Custom Designs

With an experienced, in-house engineering team and a longstanding commitment to innovation, L.A. Lighting has built a well-earned reputation for its custom product line. If you're looking for an outside-the-box solution to a tricky lighting challenge, give us a call. Our custom capabilities include:

Building luminaires to specific physical requirements, including non-standard lengths or depths.

Adding or removing holes or knockouts as required for a specific application.

Custom elements like uplight slots, gasketing, louvers, and more.

The use of specified materials, optics, sensors, and other components.

And when you're satisfied with your custom luminaire, we can protect your design by offering a unique part number and private cut sheet. To learn more about the program, visit us online.

2024 is shaping up to be a busy year for trade shows. Here's a sneak peek at some of our upcoming events. If you're at the show, stop by the L.A. Lighting booth to meet team members, see new products, and learn how we can help solve your lighting challenges.
