Niche is excited to shine a spotlight on our partner Neel Lighting & Controls, a manufacturer’s representative serving ten counties in Central California. Together, we bring advanced lighting solutions to the region, elevating spaces with the Niche Standard and Lutron Native by Design Collections.

Introducing NEEL LIGHTING & CONTROLS

Founded in 1995, Neel Lighting & Controls brings together a team with over 75 years of combined lighting-industry experience, providing hands-on service and deep project support throughout their territory. Neel Lighting & Controls has its administrative offices in Santa Paula with a field office in Fresno. They provide specification support, project planning, controls integration, and product representation. To help clients experience lighting firsthand, Neel Lighting & Controls designed and operates a unique mobile Lutron Ketra experience space – a restored 1962 Airstream trailer. The Ketra Airstream allows designers and specifiers to see and feel light in a real environment, even when away from major showrooms.

LUTRON X NICHE SOLITAIRE OPALIA PENDANTS

Elevating With LUTRON

Neel Lighting & Controls represents the Niche Lutron Native by Design Collection, featuring Opalia Glass and designed to seamlessly integrate with Lutron LED technology. This collection showcases a range of handmade glass pendant lights, table lamps, sconces, and chandeliers. Lutron Intelligent Lighting transforms how light shapes a home, offering precise customization and adaptability. Its wide range of color temperatures reproduces natural daylight and renders colors with remarkable accuracy.

WE CAME UPON NICHE THROUGH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH LUTRON.  AS AN AGENCY, WE ARE KETRA FOCUSED BECAUSE WE HAVE A VERY ROBUST RESIDENTIAL SPECIFICATION COMMUNITY WHOSE CUSTOMERS APPRECIATE LUXURY EXPERIENCES.  KETRA FITS WELL FOR OUR SPECIFIERS, BUT KETRA DOES NOT OFFER A DEPTH AND BREADTH OF PRODUCT FOR THE RESIDENTIAL SPACE; THAT’S WHERE NICHE WILL FILL IN A LOT OF THE GAPS FOR US.  PENDANTS, TABLE LAMPS, DECORATIVE PIECES AND ALL THE KETRA-READY PRODUCTS THAT NICHE OFFERS WILL HELP SCALE OUR KETRA BUSINESS IN THE MARKETS WE SERVE.
