About Us
A Legacy of Light, Service & Craftsmanship
History
Coast Lighting is a second-generation, family-owned lighting company proudly rooted in the Bay Area. Established in San Francisco in the 1950s and now based in Redwood City since 1987, we’ve grown into a trusted lighting resource for designers, builders, electricians, contractors, and homeowners alike.
Our Redwood City showroom features a carefully curated selection of decorative, architectural, and outdoor lighting ready to support everything from high-end custom homes to commercial tenant improvements. We specialize in trade-focused service, offering job-site coordination, spec-ready solutions, and the kind of hands-on support that helps projects run smoothly from start to finish.
Our Core Values
These values guide everything we do, from how we treat our clients to how we collaborate as a team:
- Family: As a multi-generational business, we treat our clients, team, and partners like family, prioritizing relationships built on trust and respect.
- Integrity: We do what we say we’ll do, delivering honest service and transparent communication at every stage.
- Innovation: We embrace new lighting technologies, design trends, and more efficient workflows to serve you better.
- Accountability: We take full responsibility for our work, ensuring quality, consistency, and timely delivery.
- Passion: Lighting is more than a product; it’s our craft. We bring energy and purpose to every project.
- Teamwork: We work closely with clients, trades, and our own team to deliver seamless project outcomes.
- Adaptability: No two jobs are the same. We stay flexible, responsive, and solutions-driven to meet your needs.
