American-Made LED Lighting Manufacturer Since 1957
Two American lighting legacies — one relentless commitment to engineering the most demanding LED solutions on the planet.
Engineering Light for Every Environment
Clear-Vu Lighting engineers American-made LED solutions for the world's most demanding environments — from the tunnels beneath New York City to the cleanrooms of pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Two American lighting pioneers · 130+ years of combined engineering experience · One unified brand
69 Years of American Innovation
From a small lighting shop on Long Island to one of America's most versatile LED manufacturers.
LaMar Lighting founded in Garden City South, NY as a commercial and industrial lighting manufacturer — beginning a legacy that continues 69 years later.
Occu-Smart motion sensor technology developed — the first commercially successful motion-sensor controlled lighting system, transforming energy management in commercial buildings.
Occu-Smart wins the Energy Award at LightFair International, the lighting industry's premier trade event, validating the motion-sensor approach to energy savings.
Clear-Vu Lighting brand launched by Autronic Plastics, focusing on specialty LED applications for environments where standard fixtures fail.

Vertically Integrated Manufacturing
Everything under one roof. From raw material to finished fixture, every step of the manufacturing process happens at our 100,000 sq. ft. facility in Central Islip, New York.
Our Central Islip facility houses injection molding presses, CNC tooling equipment, LED assembly lines, optical testing stations, and a dedicated R&D lab — all operated by the same team that designs the fixtures. When a customer needs a custom solution, our engineers walk to the production floor, prototype the design, test it on-site, and begin production without ever leaving the building. No outsourcing. No overseas dependencies. No supply chain variables outside our control.
