About Lightolier Controls

Lightolier® Controls is a leading manufacturer of quality, innovative lighting controls and advanced lighting control systems. Through continuing technological advancements, Lightolier Controls has revolutionized the way lighting controls and systems are both designed and installed creating unparalleled excellence in the industry today.

Lightolier Controls serves a variety of markets including commercial and residential properties, educational facilities, houses-of-worship, and a number of entertainment venues.

In 1984, the Genlyte Group began a mandate to move into the lighting controls marketplace. In doing so, Steve Carson was hired to oversee the creation of Lightolier Controls, which would operate as a division of Lightolier®, an established lighting fixture manufacturer.

In 1986, Lightolier Controls introduced their first products to the lighting controls market with a complete line of rotary, toggle and digital dimmers.

In 1989, Lightolier Controls surpassed $10 million in net sales. And therefore, as specific economic and financial hurdles had been met, Lightolier Controls was moved from under the Lightolier umbrella and was positioned as a self-sustaining organization under the Genlyte Group, LLC.
