About Paramount
Paramount has, for over seven decades, been an innovator in the lighting industry. They were the first to design and manufacture industrial lighting luminaires to be installed in the floors and assembly line pits of the automotive plants. They created the first parabolic louvered luminaires in 1958 and were the first manufacturer to address the problems of veiling reflections in radar screens with a luminaire designed for FAA Control Centers in 1959.
Energy efficiency has always been a Paramount priority. Electronic ballasts were standard in their fluorescent luminaires 10 years before it became required by law and they introduced one of the first industrial T5 troffers in North America. With the lighting world transitioning to solid state technology, Paramount committed to developing LED products worthy of carrying the brands storied name. The result was the unique Starduster® LED series that are unmatched in the market. Paramount’s products have changed with the needs of the industry and the commitment to quality is as durable as their luminaires.
