About Hudson Valley Lighting
Hudson Valley Lighting was founded in 1985 by David Littman, whose family had been in the lighting business since 1939, and remains privately held in Wappingers Falls, New York. It is the flagship brand of Hudson Valley Lighting Group, which also owns Troy, Corbett, Mitzi, CSL, Schoolhouse and Sonneman. The house style leans on restoration and early-twentieth-century references reworked for current interiors — solid metal bodies, glass and shade work, transitional to classic modern.

What you get for the money
Hudson Valley is a premium residential brand — above the mid-tier decorative houses, below the trade luxury names. Retailer listings for the line generally run around $180 to $750 for bath fixtures, $280 to $625 for wall sconces, $380 to $1,525 for pendants and $1,300 upward for chandeliers. What the money buys is heavier metal, better plating and finishing, and more considered detailing than a builder-grade fixture, in a catalogue that is deep enough to specify a whole house from one brand.
Where it gets used
The line is used across whole-house residential work — entries, dining rooms, kitchens and islands, stair halls, bedrooms and bathrooms — and in hospitality and light commercial where a residential feel is wanted. Because HVLG spans seven brands, a project can pull the decorative fixtures from Hudson Valley, the architectural downlights from CSL and the linear systems from Sonneman on one purchase order. HVLG also publishes outdoor product including pendants, flush mounts, sconces, lamps, posts and bollards.
Specifying notes
Confirm the damp or wet location listing per catalogue number on anything going into a bathroom, covered lanai or exterior application — HVLG lists outdoor categories but does not publish a coastal or salt-air program, so treat exterior finishes on a waterfront property as exposed. Finish availability varies by collection and not every family runs across every fixture type, so verify the exact SKU exists in the finish you want before you present it to a client. Fixture families frequently span pendant, sconce, chandelier and flush mount, which is useful when you need one look through a whole floor.
How it compares
| Visual Comfort & Co. | The main premium competitor with a much deeper designer-signature program and broader architectural range. |
|---|---|
| Troy Lighting / Corbett Lighting | Sister brands under the same parent — Troy more hand-worked iron and rustic, Corbett more sculptural and glamorous, both easy to combine on one order. |
| Kalco Lighting | Comparable premium handcrafted positioning with a hospitality contract program and the Allegri Crystal division. |
| Golden Lighting | A tier below on price and construction with a similar breadth of residential styles and a published warranty. |
Common questions about Hudson Valley Lighting
Is Hudson Valley Lighting good quality?
Yes — it is a premium residential brand with heavier metal, better plating and more detailed finishing than mid-tier decorative lines, and it is privately held and specified widely by designers. It is not a made-to-order handcrafted line, and it is manufactured overseas.
Where can I buy Hudson Valley Lighting?
Hudson Valley sells through authorized showrooms and retailers, which the company describes as factory-authorized parts and service providers. Ask me who the authorized dealer is for your area.
Does Hudson Valley Lighting have a warranty?
Hudson Valley product is covered by the manufacturer's warranty and Hold the Spec supports claims as an authorized dealer. HVLG does not publish a warranty duration on the pages we could verify, so ask us to confirm the term for your exact catalogue number before you order.
What other brands does Hudson Valley Lighting Group own?
Troy Lighting, Corbett Lighting, Mitzi, CSL, Schoolhouse and Sonneman, alongside Hudson Valley Lighting itself. That matters practically — you can specify decorative, architectural and linear product across the group on one order.
Is Hudson Valley Lighting made in the USA?
No. The company is headquartered in Wappingers Falls, New York, where it designs its product, but manufacturing is overseas.
Hudson Valley vs Mitzi — what is the difference?
Mitzi is the group's more accessible, younger-styled brand aimed at faster, lower-price residential work. Hudson Valley is the flagship: heavier construction, more finish and detail work, and higher price points.
