ABOUT LUX
WE’RE HERE TO INNOVATE, EDUCATE, & ELEVATE THE SET LIGHTING EXPERIENCE
LUX BEGAN 23+ YEARS AGO, as a small shop by two industry professionals. Our co-founders saw a real need for lighting equipment to be supplied by those who worked in crews and had firsthand knowledge of the day-to-day, real-world challenges of set lighting.
Today, LUX is growing and expanding to other locations and bringing on even more staff with invaluable hands-on expertise. All while having fun and being genuinely inspired by the incredible people in our dynamic community. After all, it is the people who continuously moves our industry forward.
Our commitment is to be your reliable, go-to-resource for all things lighting. From new technologies, to the latest product releases, to 100% custom solutions – LUX is your creative partner in finding just the right fit. LET’S TALK!
