About Kenall Lighting
Kenall was founded in 1963 and manufactures in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It is a Legrand brand and states that it created the first impact- and vandal-resistant lighting products — which is still the center of the line. Kenall builds for the places where a normal luminaire does not survive: correctional facilities, transit platforms, tunnels, parking structures, cleanrooms, food processing plants and behavioural health rooms.
The Wisconsin plant is vertically integrated, covering its own metal fabrication, and the company owns its intellectual property and tooling, which is why so much of the catalog is sealed, gasketed, tamper-resistant or ligature-resistant rather than adapted from a standard housing. Kenall is ISO 9001 certified and publishes Buy American Act and domestic preference compliant products.
Two technologies get asked about specifically. Indigo-Clean uses 405nm visible light for continuous environmental disinfection in occupied healthcare spaces. BIOS SkyBlue is a tunable approach aimed at circadian effect. Both sit inside otherwise conventional healthcare luminaires, so they are specified as a fixture rather than as an added system.

Getting Kenall Lighting on your job
Kenall Lighting is carried on the South Florida line card of SESCO Lighting. That is what decides who can sell it to you: lighting manufacturers appoint one representative per territory, and the rep for your job site is the one that matters — not the one nearest the manufacturer.
If it is on your schedule in South Florida, send it over and I will price the Kenall Lighting lines with everything else, chase the submittals and stay on the lead times.

Lines are assigned by territory. I cover South Florida; outside it a different agency holds the line, and I will point you to the right one. Tell me where the job is and I will tell you which applies to Kenall Lighting — and name the rep for your area either way. No charge, no catch.

Why ask me about it
Thirteen years in lighting in this market, most of it on the distribution side and now on the rep side of the desk. I know which lines hold a spec, which ones slip on lead time, and what the substitution is going to be when value engineering starts.

Common questions about Kenall Lighting
Who is the Kenall Lighting rep in South Florida?
I represent this line in South Florida — if you are specifying it here, call me on 786-395-1222 and I will price it, chase samples and drawings, and keep it on the schedule through submittal.
What do I quote from the Kenall Lighting line?
Most often recessed downlights, linear and architectural fixtures, wall sconces and outdoor and landscape fixtures. That is what I see on jobs, not the whole catalog. If you need something from Kenall Lighting that is not listed there, send the model numbers and I will check it.
Can you supply Kenall Lighting outside South Florida?
Not outside South Florida. SESCO holds this line for Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Monroe counties, and I am the rep here. For a job elsewhere I will point you to the agency that holds it in that territory.
How do I get pricing on Kenall Lighting?
The quote form takes drawings, a fixture schedule or a plain list of catalog numbers. Expect a line-by-line price and current lead times, usually within one business day, at no cost.
What is Kenall known for?
Durable lighting for hostile and controlled environments. Kenall states it created the first impact- and vandal-resistant lighting products, and the catalog is built around correctional, healthcare, cleanroom, transit, tunnel and parking applications where sealing, impact resistance and tamper resistance are the specification.
What is Indigo-Clean?
Indigo-Clean is Kenall’s continuous environmental disinfection technology, using 405nm visible light in occupied spaces. It is built into healthcare luminaires, so it is specified as part of the fixture schedule rather than added as a separate system.
Does Kenall make behavioural health and correctional lighting?
Yes. Behavioural health and correctional are two of its named categories, which is where the ligature-resistant and tamper-resistant housings and security-grade mounting hardware in the catalog come from.
Who owns Kenall?
Legrand. Kenall was founded independently in 1963 and became part of Legrand in 2018. It still manufactures in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
