Who we are...

We are an independent, family-owned business that has been in the lighting industry since its founding by Clarence W. Cole in Los Angeles in 1911. Today, our work is almost evenly split between the manufacturing and sales of standard products from the catalog and custom designs for specific job requirements. Working from a single location in South El Monte, California, we are capable of producing high quality products both with our own personnel and equipment and with the assistance of the many sophisticated manufacturing resources available in Southern California. Sales representatives are in the entire United States as well as Canada. We take great pride in our responsiveness and our ability to directly contribute to the design process. The company's products have been incorporated into many of the finest and best-known construction projects in the United States.

The business is owned and managed by brothers Steve and Don Cole, sons of Russell Cole and grandsons of Clarence Cole. The other key managers are Sam Serrano (Sales), Dan Wilkins (Engineering & Design), Gustavo Castillo (Plant), and Christine Pompa (Controller).
