About Kalco Lighting
Kalco, founded in 1980 and now based in Las Vegas, makes handcrafted decorative interior and exterior fixtures alongside furniture and decor. It runs three divisions: the main Kalco Lighting residential line, the Allegri Crystal brand, and Kalco Custom Contract for hospitality and project work. The style range runs from alabaster and dichroic glass modern pieces through more traditional metalwork, and the custom division is what gets it into casino, hotel and restaurant jobs.

What you get for the money
Kalco is a premium decorative line: hand-applied finishes, natural materials like hand-carved alabaster, and specialty glass including dichroic. It sits below the trade luxury houses on price and above the mid-tier residential brands on materials and construction. The custom contract division is the real differentiator — it means a design can be scaled, refinished or reworked for a specific project rather than bought as-is.
Where it gets used
Residential work runs to entries, dining rooms, stair halls and primary suites where a decorative statement is called for; Allegri Crystal covers the formal crystal requirement. The contract division supplies hotels, casinos, restaurants and clubhouses, which is a natural fit for South Florida hospitality. Kalco also publishes an outdoor range for entries, porches and exterior walls.
Specifying notes
Alabaster and specialty glass vary naturally piece to piece — order a room together and set expectations, particularly on the hand-carved alabaster product. Confirm the location listing per catalog number for anything exterior; Kalco lists outdoor product but publishes no coastal or marine-grade program, so on a waterfront property treat the exterior finish as exposed and plan on rinsing. For contract work, engage the custom division early: sizing, finish matching and lead time are all negotiable there in a way they are not on a stock catalog number.
How it compares
| Corbett Lighting | Similar premium sculptural decorative positioning under Hudson Valley Lighting Group, with a broader showroom footprint. |
|---|---|
| Currey & Company | A step up in price with natural-material handcraft and a published warranty, but no equivalent in-house contract division. |
| Schonbek | The direct comparison for Allegri Crystal — a more established crystal house at higher price points. |
| Meyda Lighting | The US-made alternative for custom hospitality work, built around stained and bent glass rather than alabaster and metal. |
