One team, three companies.
Relume Distributing supplies the fixtures, lighting controls, and engineering support behind commercial and industrial projects across North America. We are part of a family of companies built to carry a project from the first specification all the way to switched-on, without handing you off between vendors along the way.

Lighting is too often quoted by people who never see the building it goes into. We work the other way. The same team specifies, sources, and supplies the package, so a contractor, owner, or developer has one point of contact and one group accountable for the result, instead of coordinating a manufacturer, a rep, and a supplier separately.
That accountability rests on real engineering at the front end. We build photometric layouts to confirm light levels and code compliance, prepare submittal packages, and value engineer the fixture and controls selection to hit the budget and the performance target at the same time. Once the order is placed, we manage procurement, lead times, and logistics so the right product is on site when the crew needs it.
Our focus is large industrial, commercial, and distribution facilities, the projects where fixture counts, controls, and coordination across trades actually move the schedule and the budget. We carry more than 150 manufacturer brands, which lets us specify the right product for the job instead of forcing the project to fit a single brand.
Three companies, one platform.
Relume Distributing handles distribution and new-construction packages. When a building needs an energy-saving retrofit with in-house installation and field service, that work is delivered by our sister company Relumination. When a property needs EV charging infrastructure, that is Evolved EV. Same team, same standards, three lanes of work.
The team.
