History
Established in 1947.
World War II was over, and the soldiers were coming home. Young Sid Bloom and Sam Resnick stood on the deck of a troop ship steaming west across the Atlantic back to the States. The two men knew each other casually – their families were friendly back in Brooklyn – but the conversation they struck up during their passage back to the States would cement a lifelong friendship and give birth to a remarkably successful business. But What kind of business? Well, everyone needs light bulbs, they thought. That settled it. They would go into the electrical supply business.
What began with light bulbs and toy trains is now a fully integrated, specialized lighting company that services television, film, theatre, houses of worship, and architainment facilities across the globe.
