Who We Are
When Christian L. Sauska and his former business partners established LightSources, Inc. in 1983, they envisioned a company that offered global OEM lamp designs and manufacturing with state-of-the-art technology and exceptional service and support. This vision lives today through the dedication of approximately 1,000 employees worldwide.
Today, LightSources and its affiliated companies – LCD Lighting, Voltarc along with strategic partners LightTech, and Cerlux – are regarded as innovative, high-tech, designers, light bulb manufacturers and light bulb suppliers in the lamp manufacturing industry. Our products can be found all over the world in a multitude of applications and industries. We are especially proud to have our avionic display backlighting in Transportation, National Defense, and the US Space Program.
Customized Products, Innovative Solutions
Our team, which includes experienced professionals in the production of low pressure tanning lamps, specialty UVC germicidal lamps, custom light bulbs and UV lamps for other specialized applications such as air purification and ballast water treatment, is committed to engineering standard, specialty and proprietary lamp types to meet the specific requirements of our clients. From prototype to finished product, we offer unmatched flexibility and turnaround. With our innovative solutions, clients can distinguish themselves in the marketplace with their own proprietary products and private brands.
Cost-Effectiveness and Short Turnarounds for our Clients
Serving our clients with the highest quality care means building strong, strategic partnerships. These relationships enable us to commence mass-production of new types of proprietary and specialty lamps cost effectively and with short turnaround. As an OEM-focused specialty lamp company, the LightSources group knows how to build and maintain long-term business alliances that add value and profits to our OEM customers’ bottom-line.
