Three key attributes for lighting systems that architects, designers and developers seek and that FC Lighting delivers.
FC Lighting Inc. architectural grade fixtures are installed globally in high aesthetic applications for retail, hospitality, governments, healthcare, adduction and other commercial institutions. Our designs rival those of prestigious European manufacturers while achieving the flexibility to incorporate the latest performance features and technology, such as solid-state LED lighting for energy saving applications.
The design process begins with our team of engineers designing fixtures in SolidWorks and then converting the designs into laser cutting machine files quickly with Cadman conversion software. This allows us to go from concept to production in hours, instead of weeks.
Our 100,000 square foot facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art CNC machines. The Orion Laser Cutter provides our fabrication department with extreme flexibility in quick turn custom fabricated parts as well as standard production parts. The Orion is capable of cutting cold rolled steel, stainless steel, aluminum reflector sheets and other ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
FC Lighting is understated in design, but not performance. Our fixtures are designed for maximum optical control, reducing the need for deflectors and diffusers that can trap light and reduce overall system luminous efficacy. In addition to our superior fixture designs, our innovative optics control beam spread to minimize wasted illumination and light pollution. FC Lighting is also a market leader in high-lumen solid state LED fixtures that yield maximum fixture performance while controlling thermal build-up.
Integrity and a high attention to detail are benchmarks that FC Lighting adheres to with every fixture that is shipped from our facility. Fixture faceplates and housings are constructed of heavy-walled marine grade, high-pressure die-cast aluminum and incorporate advanced thermal management techniques to promote efficiency and extend service life. Our exterior fixtures are 316 grade stainless steel or finished with automotive grade powder coating.

Our Powder Paint Coating Line is a six stage system capable of providing sophisticated, environmentally friendly paint finishes on a variety of metal surfaces, both ferrous and non-ferrous. Our paint line, which was custom manufactured by Rapid Engineering, has a state-of-the-art touch screen panel that has system profiles for a variety of paint surfaces which allows for quick modifications to respond to unique customer requests. The six stage Chemical Metal Conversion System, developed by Chemtall, is comprised of the following stages:
Our AAMA (2603, 2604 and 2605) approved paint facility is also equipped with a dry-off/degass oven, application spray booth, 4500 hour salt test spray and a paint cure oven. Our small lot and quick color change capabilities allows us to respond swiftly to customer needs.
