Kim Lighting is an outdoor-only brand within the Current portfolio, held by HLI Solutions, Inc. of Greenville, South Carolina. It describes itself as the world’s foremost designer and manufacturer of outdoor lighting, and it is known for high-performance, architecturally relevant exterior product rather than for utility fixtures.
The range covers area, site and roadway, decorative and post-top, canopy and garage, wall-mounted, floodlighting, landscape, bollards, in-grade, poles and support structures, and lighting controls. Altitude 2.0 and Cypher lead the area range, Ouro provides three mounting styles in two sizes, Era and Entablature cover decorative, Wall Forms and Wall Director 2.0 handle wall mounting, and Intent is an RGBW linear floodlight in which all color mixing happens inside the fixture.
Retail centers, automotive dealerships, parking facilities, landscape and architectural projects are the named markets, and all four are South Florida staples. The recurring problem on those jobs is the same one: enough light on the surface, tight uniformity, and no glare or spill at the property line — which is an optics question, and it is why an architectural outdoor brand is worth the premium over a generic area light.

What is Kim Lighting known for?
Architectural outdoor lighting — area and site, decorative post-top, garage and canopy, bollards, in-grade and floodlighting. It is an outdoor-only brand and describes itself as the world’s foremost designer and manufacturer of outdoor lighting.
Who owns Kim Lighting?
Current, through HLI Solutions, Inc. of Greenville, South Carolina. Kim’s product now sits within the Current portfolio.
What is Ouro?
Ouro is a Kim area family offering three mounting styles in two sizes, so the same design covers pole, arm and other mounting conditions across a site without visual mismatch.
What is Intent?
Intent is Kim’s RGBW linear floodlight in which all the color mixing takes place inside the fixture. That produces an even wash rather than the separate color shadows you get when unmixed sources are aimed at a surface.
