Why We Are The Industry Leader

Since 1989 only one daylighting company has continuously designed, manufactured and installed commercial daylighting systems. NLCI is the pioneer in daylighting technology having manufactured and launched most of the top-lighting daylighting designs on the market today. We have always focused on the technology innovations needed to advance daylighting technology into the mainstream lighting field. Our record of technology development, patented products, successful product launches, design and energy awards, and marketing success is unmatched in the industry.
We have revolutionized daylighting technology, taking it from the leak prone inefficient “skylights” of yesterday to the energy efficient and aesthetically pleasing lighting system it is today.
