About Us

Imagine 🤔 if you no longer had to keep as much lighting inventory on hand or worry about it being damaged. Or, you didn’t have to keep sending someone to buy more. Wouldn’t it be great to reduce how much labor cost you pay to have someone continuously install lighting?

We started with a mission--be cost effective while solving these annoying and time-consuming lighting problems. Let’s face it, companies were forced to either put up with bad or insufficient lighting or spend many labor hours replacing the lights they just did months ago. This was not cost effective on the bottom line. It doesn’t have to be this way…😳

Our companies have thousands of happy customers and a proven track record and years of being a leader in the lighting industry. 👏 Our lighting will out-perform and outlast the other superstars. The Lighting Guy represents the best lighting products on the market for people who demand high performance and budget-friendly pricing. Our engineers work with the best manufacturing facilities plus LED components to turn your designs into reality.

I believe it’s very important to carefully listen to my client’s challenges and be the “go-to” person who creates solutions that really work. I’m dedicated to lowering costs and risks and being there for the long haul, while building strong and trustworthy relationships that clients can depend on. 🤝

Clients count on me to: 👇

1. Review and correctly evaluate current lighting conditions.
2.Create better lighting solutions with brighter light that will last longer.
3. Uncover energy efficient options.
4. Collaborate with my clients to align lighting needs and financial requirements.
5. Provide professional lighting expertise that is delivered with integrity and honesty.

Are you a small-mid-size or large company, hotel, property or facilities manager and you want someone that will understand your needs and requirements? Let’s connect and talk about how you can have better light - save time, energy and money. 👍

How We Got Started

I am passionate about building life-long customer relationships; understanding their needs; being available when they need me; knowing their concerns and selecting a product that exceeds that. Staying connected after the sale is important asset as well. I enjoy the satisfaction of the smile on a customers face when they see the finished product and send me referrals due to their satisfaction. 😎

Tell them I am here to learn about them and there business - not to sell anything unless it comes up. They look at me like I am nuts and by the time we are done we are laughing and we find out a lot about each other. Usually a small sale was made and a relationship built for later.

As I was in car sales - yes we are taught to be aggressive as we will never see you again. In normal business sales - sometimes it is difficult to get in touch with someone even when they give us the best way to stay in touch.

In normal business sales - sometimes it is difficult to get in touch with someone even when they give us the best way to stay in touch. I understand everyone is busy and so am I - but I am only trying to present a solution to the problem you gave me but you are not allowing me to present it. Many of my clients are glad I do not give up and keep trying to get a hold of them. Fine Line - and depends on your mood at the time
