The Evolution of Signify’s Innovative Indoor Architectural Lighting Brand
In April 1982, in a 1,500-square foot garage in Richmond, British Columbia (BC), Ledalite was founded. The mission was simple: create a high performance, innovative indoor architectural lighting brand focused on optical performance, quality of light and visual comfort.
The name, Ledalite, is derived from the founders’ ethos of creating a Luminous Environmental Design Approach (LEDA), a philosophy all about understanding how people design solutions that keep spaces feeling bright and natural.
In 1999, Ledalite joined the Genlyte group, which was acquired by Signify (Philips Lighting at the time) in 2008, and by 2000, it moved to a 150,000-square foot manufacturing facility in Langley, BC, which it has called home ever since.
