About PLC Lighting
PLC Lighting was founded in 1989 and works from Chatsworth, California, supplying contemporary and traditional fixtures at wholesale — chandeliers, pendants, wall and ceiling lights, bath vanities, track and exterior fixtures. The line leans heavily on decorative glass: diamond-cut and K9 crystal, cracked ice, crystal-infused and opal acrylic lenses. It is bought by builders, remodelers and showrooms that need a crystal or contemporary look at a value price point.

What you get for the money
PLC is a value-tier wholesale line. The money goes into the glass and the visual effect — diamond-cut crystal, K9 optic glass, cracked ice and crystal-infused glass produce sparkle at a price well below a true crystal chandelier — rather than into heavy metal construction or hand finishing. Common finishes across the range are polished chrome, satin nickel and bronze. It is a sensible choice where the look has to carry the room and the budget is fixed.
Where it gets used
Dining rooms, foyers and bedrooms for the crystal-glass chandeliers and pendants; bath vanities and hallway sconces for the smaller glass families; track lighting for kitchens and retail. The LEDA exterior family covers entries and exterior walls. In practice PLC is most often specified on spec homes, condo remodels and rental and hospitality turns where several rooms need to be done at once at a controlled cost.
Specifying notes
Several PLC families — Jazz and Lucette among them — are catalogued as dimmable, but PLC does not publish detailed driver and dimmer compatibility on the site, so confirm the dimming type on the cut sheet before pairing with a specific dimmer. Lens and glass types differ meaningfully in how they read once lit: opal acrylic and frost diffuse, while diamond-cut and K9 crystal throw sparkle and visible facets. PLC's published product catalog is the 2021 edition, so confirm current availability and finish codes rather than relying on the catalog alone, and confirm the damp or wet listing on anything going into a bathroom or outdoors.

Common questions about PLC Lighting
Is PLC Lighting good quality?
PLC is a value-tier wholesale line — the strength is decorative glass effects at a low price, not heavy metalwork or hand finishing. It is a reasonable choice on budget-driven projects; for a fixture that has to last decades in a signature location, spend more.
Where can I buy PLC Lighting?
Ask me who the authorized dealer is for your area. Send us the item number and finish and we will quote it and confirm current availability.
Is PLC Lighting made in the USA?
PLC is an American company based in Chatsworth, California, but its products are manufactured overseas.
Does PLC Lighting have a warranty?
PLC warranty coverage is handled through the manufacturer and is supported when you buy from an authorized dealer such as Hold the Spec. PLC does not publish warranty terms on its website, so we confirm the applicable terms before you order.
Are PLC fixtures dimmable?
Several families, including Jazz and Lucette, are catalogued as dimmable, but the dimming type varies by item. Check the cut sheet for the specific catalog number and match the dimmer to it.
Is PLC crystal real crystal?
PLC uses diamond-cut crystal glass, K9 optic glass and crystal-infused glass depending on the collection — these are cut and optical glasses, which is why the price is where it is. If a project calls for full lead crystal, that is a different product and a different budget.
