Strategic transition to Niles, Illinois, brings expanded engineering resources, manufacturing efficiencies, and continued investment in flexible architectural lighting solutions.
NILES, IL — November 4, 2026 — Luminii today announced the strategic consolidation of its iLight manufacturing operations into the company’s state-of-the-art facility in Niles, Illinois, reinforcing its commitment to the future of the iLight product portfolio and flexible architectural lighting solutions.
As part of this transition, all iLight manufacturing operations currently based in Cookeville, Tennessee, will move to Luminii’s Niles, Illinois, facility, bringing production and product development closer to the company’s established engineering, manufacturing, and quality control teams.
Since integrating iLight into Luminii’s factory-built linear lighting portfolio in early 2025, the company has continued to evaluate opportunities to align manufacturing capabilities, technical expertise, and product development across its operations. This consolidation is designed to strengthen operational efficiencies, expand technical resources, and create a more integrated foundation for the continued evolution of the product line.
“We believe strongly in the future of iLight and the possibilities its technology brings to architectural lighting,” said Kurt Starkey, COO of Luminii. “By bringing these capabilities together in Niles, we’re building on what makes these products special while leveraging the strength of our engineering, manufacturing, and quality control teams. This is about more than operational efficiencies, we’re creating a stronger foundation for innovation, accelerated product development, and delivering the quality and support our customers expect from Luminii.”
The transition will also support the continued evolution of the iLight portfolio, creating opportunities to advance its distinctive neon-like lighting technologies and further enhance performance for demanding exterior applications. With product development already underway and new introductions planned for early 2027, Luminii is building on these strengths while investing in the next generation of architectural lighting solutions.
