Built Here.
Built to Last.
Every Elite fixture is designed, engineered, produced, and assembled in our Southern California, Los Angeles factory for projects that demand domestic compliance and lasting quality.
Where your lighting is made matters.
It's about more than a label. When a fixture is engineered, fabricated, and tested under one roof in California, you get tighter quality control, faster lead times, and accountability you can call by name.
We oversee every step, from the first CAD drawing to the truck that leaves our dock, so the product that arrives on your jobsite is one we're proud to put our name on.
Go behind the curtain.

How we build it
Design & Engineer
Photometrics, CAD, and prototyping done in-house by our California engineering team.
Fabricate & Assemble
Metal fabrication, SMT board population, and hand assembly on our own production lines.
Test & Inspect
Every fixture is powered, measured, and quality-checked before it earns our name.
Pack & Ship
Packed and shipped from our dock. Short domestic lead times, no overseas waiting.
Engineered start to finish, in-house.
From metal fabrication to board population and final assembly, every stage runs on our own equipment under one roof. That vertical integration is what keeps quality tight, lead times short, and domestic content high.
When you specify Elite, you're investing in domestic manufacturing and the peace of mind that comes from buying quality once.

Material Sourcing
Procuring materials and components from domestic or approved sources to meet the percentage of domestic content required by BABA.
Manufacturing Processes
Ensuring our manufacturing takes place within the countries or regions specified by the regulations.
Transparency
Maintaining comprehensive records of the supply chain, manufacturing processes, and material sources to demonstrate compliance during audits or inspections.
Supplier Collaboration
Collaborating with suppliers and vendors who themselves adhere to Build America, Buy America (BABA) guidelines, ensuring compliance throughout the supply chain.
