BUSINESS OPERATIONS

About us:

Wavelength Lighting is NYC’s fastest growing LED and controls project company for commercial spaces! Lighting in New York City’s buildings accounts for 20% of our city’s energy consumption. An average Wavelength retrofit project reduces a space’s energy use by lighting by about 70%. New York City has responded to this opportunity to reduce energy consumption by enacting a number of Local Laws that are driving massive, impactful lighting retrofits in every space of every building.

Wavelength is an innovative clean-tech startup that focuses on lighting efficiency through LEDs and modern lighting controls, working with clients like Barclays Center, Horizon Media, Oscar Health, and the largest financial firms in the city. If you're looking to make an impact in a unique environment, in a new industry, Wavelength is for you.
