Customer Experience and Reviews
Marcus Sterling “As a lead landscape architect for luxury resort developments, I have relied on Kim Lighting for over a decade because their fixtures are essentially bulletproof. We recently installed a series of LTV8 accent lights and the Bluetooth control integration was a game-changer for our team, allowing us to fine-tune the ambiance of the courtyard right from our tablets. The heavy-duty brass construction handles coastal salt spray better than any other brand we’ve tested, and the optical clarity of the LEDs ensures there is zero light spill where we don’t want it.”
Elena Rodriguez “Managing a large-scale municipal project for our city’s downtown revitalization required lighting that met strict CA Title 24 energy standards without sacrificing the historic aesthetic of our district. We chose the ALTITUDE® pedestrian fixtures, and the results have been incredible; the low-glare optics have significantly improved visibility for night-time shoppers while reducing our energy consumption by nearly 40%. The technical support team at their City of Industry headquarters was instrumental in helping us calculate the precise pole spacing needed for the roadway sections.”
David Henderson “I recently retrofitted a three-story parking structure using Kim’s Linear Unlimited series and the difference in light uniformity is night and day compared to the old metal halide units. The installation process was surprisingly straightforward due to the modular mounting system, and the customer service team was quick to provide all the custom fabrication specs we needed for some tricky corners. It is refreshing to work with a manufacturer that still builds everything in the USA with such high-quality finishes that I know won’t peel or corrode after a single winter season.”
