2018 Was An Illuminating Year
At AEI Lighting, we judge our success not on sales increases, added margin or increased accounts . . . we judge our success on the satisfaction of our customers, for we know that if our customers are happy, all of the above mentioned items will fall into place.
We must be doing something right, as 2018 was a year that saw us engage in and deliver on many customer challenges that included an array of our LED lighting styles being installed for warehouse, distribution centers, processing centers, bottling facilities and, in some cases, big box retail -- all across the USA.
As you know, we are a #MadeInUSA LED lighting manufacturer, based in Arizona, and proudly produce our high-quality #AmericanMade lighting fixtures at our 40,000 facility here. In 2018, we added to our suite of cutting edge equipment with an AMADA ENSIS EN3015AJ Precision Fiber Laser Cutting System.
As 2018 comes to a close, we want to thank all of our existing customers for a wonderful year of challenges, productivity and success. We appreciate your business and, as you know, we are not satisfied with our performance until you are. Here's wishing you a Happy New Year 2019 --- may it bring much happiness and prosperity.

Our DLC Fixtures Mean Absolute Energy Efficiency For You
At AEI Lighting, we have a robust line of DLC-Listed LED lighting fixtures for many applications -- from Retrofit to Site & Area to WallPacks to VaporTight. We're proud to be able to offer you an array of DLC fixtures that can facilitate most needs at your facility.
What Does A DLC Listing Mean? A DLC Listing or Certification means that the Design Lights Consortium (DLC) has qualified or certified a particular LED lighting fixture that has undergone stringent third-party testing for energy-efficiencies and to ensure all lumen claims are met.
The DLC works with many utility companies in all regions of the United States to include DLC listed fixtures in utility rebate programs. Your local utility may require DLC fixtures for rebates to apply at your facility; thus, we at AEI will try to specify our DLC-Listed fixtures if your job or site is seeking utility rebates.
Rest assured, our DLC-Listed LED lighting fixtures undergo very stringent testing to ensure DLC Certification and make the DLC's Qualified Products List.
If you'd like to learn more about our DLC-Listed LED lighting fixtures, contact our resident LED lighting specialist, Michele Floyd, at 877-AEI-LITE, 480-733-6594 or by email at michele@aeilighting.com.

We're A #MadeInUSA Manufacturer Delivering LED Lighting Quality 24/7
Differentiation. It's an oft-used word when speaking about products or offerings.
In the lighting industry, the word differentiation takes on new meaning when it comes to WHO you purchase your LED lighting from for your facility's total lighting solution. Here are two facts in the lighting industry differentiation vein:
1) Not all LED Lighting companies are created equally
2) Not all LED Lighting fixtures are created equally
When it comes to LED Lighting fixtures, you need to TRUST the company from which you purchase your LED lighting and RELY on for your facility's total lighting solution. Will the survey be conducted efficiently? Will the LED lighting fixtures be installed properly? And, most importantly, will the LED lighting fixtures last AND provide the promised payback/ROI?
When you purchase your LED lighting from AEI Lighting, you'll know the answers to the above questions is a resounding 'YES'.
We are an American-based manufacturer of LED lighting with decades of experience in the lighting business, an acumen on the fixture side that can only come from hands-on fabrication processes and a gold-standard reputation on the total solutions side that means we've delivered quality LED fixtures and the perfect energy-efficient solution for warehouses, DCs, processing centers and facilities for decades.
BEFORE you choose your LED lighting fixtures from SOMEONE ELSE . . . please call on us first in order to understand the difference (ah, differentiation) between our quality AEI LED lighting fixtures and others. Call on us to understand the difference of having your product MADE IN USA by a USA MANUFACTURER under strict quality control and customer care for your job and business.
Lighting fixtures parts manufactured in-house at AEI Lighting
At AEI, it's our goal to be a step above and ahead of everyone else. It's our goal to differentiate ourselves from the competition in all processes of fulfilling your lighting solution needs. Rest assured, when it comes to differentiation, you'll discover just how positively different we are. Call Michele Floyd at AEI at 877-AEI-LITE or 480-733-6594 to get the 'Differentiation Show' started for your facility.
