This mid-year update celebrates a strong first half of 2026 for Arizona Lighting Sales, highlighted by the opening of its new office, industry recognition with a 2026 IES Phoenix Illumination Award, and leadership appointments within key professional organizations. The team remained active through manufacturer tours, industry events, educational workshops, and community outreach, reinforcing its commitment to professional development, innovation, and client relationships.

This week’s newsletter highlights innovative lighting solutions and expert insights across exterior, decorative, and industrial applications. Beacon Products has expanded its Viper luminaire line with new Silicone Strike Optics, offering enhanced durability, optical precision, energy efficiency, and improved light control for demanding outdoor environments such as campuses, retail centers, and distribution facilities. The feature also spotlights Lee Broom’s striking Vesper Collection, a sculptural suspension lighting series that blends modern architectural design with refined finishes, making it ideal for hospitality, residential, and cultural spaces. Finally, Arizona Lighting Sales team member Sean shares key considerations for warehouse lighting design, emphasizing the importance of fixture selection, lighting uniformity, emergency lighting systems, and egress path planning to improve safety, efficiency, and long-term operational value.

This month we’re featuring Lucifer Lighting’s Stellaris, developed with Gensler to solve a classic specification problem: task and ambient lighting in a single 31″ fixture. Three independently controlled sources — downlight, waveguide, and uplight — let designers layer light without adding fixtures to the ceiling. We’re also spotlighting TLS Lighting’s LumiCoustica™ Collection, which pairs high-performance LED lighting with built-in acoustic absorption — tackling sound reverberation in open, hard-surfaced commercial spaces without cluttering the ceiling plane. And a big congrats to our Q2 Golf Simulator League winners — Dustin Brown & Harrison Muecke took 1st place overall!
