About RIG-A-LITE
RIG-A-LITE was founded in 1938 to meet the lighting requirements of the drilling industry, and is based in Houston, Texas. It is part of Avail Infrastructure Solutions. The whole catalog is purpose-built for harsh and hazardous environments — this is not a commercial line with a few rugged options bolted on.
Because of that, the products are organized by hazard classification rather than by style. Class 1 Division 1, Class 1 Division 2 and the other hazardous location classifications determine what can be used, and the catalog covers explosion proof, hazardous-rated, heavy duty harsh-rated, high temperature, high bay, flood, area, and emergency and exit lighting. The named series are E-Series, EX-Series and the HZALJ LED luminaire; everything else is merchandised by classification.
The South Florida applications are wastewater treatment, food processing, marine and port work, fuel handling and heavy industry. RIG-A-LITE publishes NSF-rated fixtures for food processing and Buy American Act compliant product. The critical point on any of these jobs is that the fixture must match the classification the engineer assigned to the area — a Division 2 fixture in a Division 1 area is a failed inspection, not a value engineering choice.

Getting RIG-A-LITE on your job
RIG-A-LITE 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 RIG-A-LITE 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 RIG-A-LITE — 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 RIG-A-LITE
Who is the RIG-A-LITE 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 RIG-A-LITE line?
Most often linear and architectural fixtures, outdoor and landscape fixtures and dimmers and lighting controls. That is what I see on jobs, not the whole catalog. If you need something from RIG-A-LITE that is not listed there, send the model numbers and I will check it.
Can you supply RIG-A-LITE 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 RIG-A-LITE?
Upload the project drawings or the fixture schedule to the quote form. I price it line by line and come back with lead times, usually inside one business day, and I do not charge for the takeoff.
What is RIG-A-LITE known for?
Lighting for hazardous and harsh locations — explosion proof, Class 1 Division 1 and Division 2 rated, high temperature and heavy duty fixtures. The company was founded in 1938 for the drilling industry and has stayed in that field.
How do I know which hazardous location rating I need?
The classification comes from the project engineer, not from the fixture catalog — the area is classified first, and the luminaire must match. Send me the classified area drawing with the schedule and I will quote to the classification rather than guess at it.
Does RIG-A-LITE make food processing fixtures?
Yes, NSF-rated fixtures for food processing are part of the range, alongside wastewater treatment and marine product. These are wash-down environments, so the sealing and material specification matter as much as the light output.
Who owns RIG-A-LITE?
Avail Infrastructure Solutions. The brand remains based in Houston, Texas.
