MAKING

LIGHT

WORK™

Page 2: Making Light Work

Your tools: Free and abundant sunlight. Manmade instruments of illumination. Sources of

useful light inspired by those who practice lighting design and innovated by a company

who, like you, appreciates light’s full potential. The potential to inform, to influence, to inspire,

to improve the human condition.

For more than 75 years, Litecontrol has been the commercial lighting professional’s leading

partner in design. From its early innovations in wall/slot lighting, to today’s advanced

LED fixtures, Litecontrol remains committed to delivering the widest palette of tools and

comprehensive services to maximize the power of lighting design and to minimize electric

lighting’s environmental impact.

“LIGHT IS NOT

SO MUCH SOMETHING

THAT REVEALS,

AS IT IS ITSELF

THE REVELATION.”

American Artist

Explore Litecontrol now and discover a company making

light work – for lighting designers, architects, building owners

and operators – but most importantly, for those who are

learning, or working, or healing within the spaces where

you find Litecontrol.

THIS IS LITECONTROL - MAKING LIGHT WORK.

Litecontrol is committed to lighting design education and training. The Litecontrol Robert W. Danforth Lighting Center is a 15,000 square foot education, demonstration and mock-up facility located in Massachusetts where professionals explore the impact of quality lighting using full-scale classrooms, offices, labs, retail spaces and hospital rooms. Additionally, Litecontrol boasts one of the industry’s most comprehensive curriculum of AIA CES and NCQLP continuing education programs.

“THE PURPOSE OF LIGHT

IS TO CREATE MORE LIGHT,

TO OPEN PEOPLE’S EYES,

TO REVEAL THE

MARVELS AROUND.”

Paulo CoelhoBrazilian Lyricist/Novelist

Lighting designers can employ light to create

predictable human emotional and behavioral

outcomes. A designer’s choice of lighting tools

and techniques for a given space determines how

people feel about, move through and function

within a space. This is why the building design

community will continue to rely on the professional

lighting designer, and why professional lighting

designers will continue to rely on Litecontrol as a

preferred partner in their craft.

Today, Litecontrol offers designers the industry’s

most complete range of interior commercial

lighting fixtures and controls for fluorescent and

LED platforms. This holistic toolset includes pendant,

recessed and ceiling-mounted fixtures for lighting

horizontal work surfaces , in addition to wall/slot,

cove and wall-mounted fixtures for lighting the

spatial envelope. Designers appreciate Litecontrol’s

attention to fixture styling and detailing, wide

ranging aesthetics, willingness to provide

customized solutions and commitment to

offering lighting solutions for all budget levels.

For LED fixtures to look their best, it is essential that each individual LED used in a fixture be highly similar in chromaticity. Demanding better color uniformity from a fixture than those derived from ANSI standards, Litecontrol matches LED color temperature within each fixture by its own standard – more than four times as stringent as ANSI.

IS NOT ALWAYS

THE SOURCE OF LIGHT,

BUT THE EFFECT OF LIGHT.”

TO INFORM TO INFLUENCE TO INSPIRE TO IMPROVE THE HUMAN CONDITION

Page 7: Making Light Work

Litecontrol conforms useful new technology to the art

and science of lighting design - never the other way

around. When Litecontrol introduces a new lighting

technology, you can be sure it has been fully vetted for

satisfying all requirements of the design community -

aesthetic, photometric, and economic. Such is the

case with LED technology.

To realize the promise of LED in commercial lighting

design - its vastly superior energy-efficiency and

lifecycle - requires companies like Litecontrol to

engineer entirely new fixture platforms in close

coordination with leading LED manufacturers. For

Litecontrol, this approach has resulted in new LED

fixtures that produce the highest degrees of color

consistency and rendering, maximum lifespans, and

minimal energy consumption. Most importantly,

these fixtures also provide the means for designers

to provide exactly the right quality, quantity and

location of light, at the right time.

Litecontrol’s Mainstream™ fixture housing also serves as an efficient heat-sink for LEDs, maximizing their lifespan. Mainstream’s accolades include a prestigious Green Good Design Award and recognition in the Department of Energy’s Next Generation Luminaires competition.

Making light work means endeavoring to make

lighting far more sustainable, without compromising

the qualitative visual requirements of a built

environment. Through informed, innovative and

imaginative fluorescent and LED fixture engineering,

advanced optics design, and integration with industry

leading control systems, Litecontrol is dramatically

reducing the energy demands of lighting and moving

us closer to the realization of net zero.

THERE IS ONE

FUNDAMENTAL FACT

ABOUT LIGHTING:

WHERE THERE IS NO LIGHT,

THERE IS NO BEAUTY.

REDUCE THE ENERGY DEMANDS OF LIGHTING, MOVE CLOSER TO NET ZERO.

Page 9: Making Light Work

But Litecontrol’s commitment to sustainability goes

far beyond energy reduction. As the first manufacturer

to achieve Cradle to Cradle Certification for lighting

fixtures, Litecontrol marked the fifth consecutive year

for earning this disticntion in 2012. This certification

applies to all fixtures manufactured at Litecontrol’s

Massachusetts-based factories and is testament to

Litecontrol’s commitment to manufacturing lighting

fixtures with rigorous sustainable methodology.

Litecontrol’s leadership in environmental stewardship extends back to the company’s founding in 1936. Since then, the company and its manufacturing plants have co-existed among highly environmentally-sensitive cranberry bogs, conservation land and family-populated neighborhoods. Therefore, Litecontrol will continue to practice the most stringent environmental controls in the manufacture of its products to ensure that the water and land surrounding Litecontrol remain healthy and pristine.

Ultimately, it’s a diverse collection of dedicated people who

are making light work - scientists, engineers, designers,

artisans, technicians, fabricators, assemblers and a myriad

of others striving each day to elevate lighting to higher

standards of beauty, efficiency, effectiveness, affordability

and sustainability. These are the people of employee-owned

Litecontrol, people with a strong blue-collar work ethic

and vested interest in manufacturing and delivering

quality, affordable commercial lighting products here

at home in the U.S.

“THERE IS

NO MORE WORTHY,

MORE GLORIOUS OR

MORE POTENT WORK,

THAN TO

WORK WITH LIGHT.”
