Making Smart Energy Saving Choices Is What Energy Efficient Lighting Design Was Created to Do

Meet the Team Who Turns This Concept into Reality

Many people never think twice about turning on the lights, paying little attention to the energy wasted or the environmental impact of their daily need for illumination. At Energy Efficient Lighting Design, we see things differently. Every sustainable lighting design we create is an opportunity to invest in the earth and create a brighter future in the long term. The main goal of our talented team is to lower energy and maintenance costs for your residential or commercial property through gorgeous, custom lighting designs. We’re proud to make this energy-efficient dream a reality for buildings across the New York metropolitan area.
