About Kirlin Lighting
The Kirlin Company was founded in 1895 and manufactures at its factory on East Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. It is independently held and woman-led — Jana Kirlin Brownell is chairman — and it is HUBZone certified. Kirlin backs its product with a twenty-five year support guarantee, which is an unusual commitment in a category where fixtures outlive the companies that made them.
The specialisation is healthcare, and it goes deep. Recessed ceiling adjustable, downlight, exam and procedure, motorised exam, luminous panel, observation, slot, wall wash and warming light; recessed wall nightlights; plus wayfinding and general commercial product. INFRALED PRO, SmartLED MRI, Empower CONNECT, Symphony, Choice, Latitudes, Patient Spaces, Wayfinding, Shoreview and Kirlin Select are the named families.
Healthcare lighting is a different discipline from commercial lighting, and Kirlin is built for it. An operating room needs a fixture that will not shadow a surgical field. A patient room needs a nightlight a nurse can work by without waking the patient. An MRI suite needs MRI-safe construction. Behavioural health needs ligature resistance. These are not options on a commercial fixture — they are the product — and on a South Florida hospital or surgery centre that is why the brand appears on the schedule.

Getting Kirlin Lighting on your job
Kirlin 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.
For a project inside our service area, send us the fixture schedule and we will price the Kirlin Lighting lines with everything else, handle the submittals and stage delivery to the site.

Why ask me about it
Twenty years specifying lighting in this market, 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 Kirlin Lighting
Who handles Kirlin Lighting 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 we quote from the Kirlin Lighting line?
Most often recessed downlights, flush and semi-flush ceiling fixtures, wall sconces and LED tape and cove lighting. That is what we see on jobs, not the whole catalogue. If you need something from Kirlin Lighting that is not listed there, send the model numbers and we will check it.
Can you supply Kirlin Lighting outside South Florida?
Not outside South Florida. This line is ours for Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Monroe counties. For a job elsewhere we will point you to the representative who holds it in that territory, or offer a comparable line we can ship you.
How do I get pricing on Kirlin Lighting?
Upload the schedule or the drawings to the quote form. We price it line by line and come back with lead times, usually inside one business day, and we do not charge for the takeoff.
What is Kirlin Lighting known for?
Healthcare lighting. Exam and procedure fixtures, motorised exam lighting, MRI-safe luminaires, patient room and nightlight product, and behavioural health fixtures make up the core of the line, manufactured in Detroit since 1895.
Does Kirlin make MRI-safe fixtures?
Yes — SmartLED MRI is a named family. MRI suites require construction that will not interact with the magnetic field, which rules out ordinary commercial luminaires entirely.
What is the 25-year support guarantee?
Kirlin publishes a twenty-five year support commitment on its product. In healthcare that matters more than in most sectors, because a hospital will still be servicing a patient room fixture long after a typical warranty has expired.
Who owns Kirlin?
The Kirlin Company is independently held and woman-led, with Jana Kirlin Brownell as chairman. It is HUBZone certified and has manufactured in Detroit since its founding in 1895.
