About TEKA Illumination
TEKA Illumination has manufactured indoor and outdoor luminaires since 1993 in Madera, California, and is part of B-K Lighting — the two brands share the same facility and the same manufacturing discipline. Its phrase for the approach is enduring metals, elemental design, new technologies.
The materials are the product. TEKA fixtures are fashioned from copper, bronze, brass and stainless steel — metals that need no additional finish and develop a natural patina rather than failing. That is a different proposition from a painted aluminum fixture: there is no coating to chalk, blister or lift, because there is no coating.
That is precisely why the brand suits South Florida. The company describes its product as equally at home on the shoreline or in the desert, and on a waterfront property the salt will find any weakness in a finish within a season or two. The range covers architectural surface, area, bollards, ceiling mount, floodlights, low level, pathlights, pendants, pole and post tops, and stemmed wall mounts, with families including Arcade, Beacon, Classic, High Light, Large Tower, Liberty, Cardinal, Catamaran, Pinnacle and Regatta. Everything is made in the USA.

Getting TEKA Illumination on your job
TEKA Illumination 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 TEKA Illumination 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 TEKA Illumination — 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 TEKA Illumination
Who is the TEKA Illumination 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 TEKA Illumination line?
Most often outdoor and landscape fixtures, pendants and flush and semi-flush ceiling fixtures. That is what I see on jobs, not the whole catalog. If you need something from TEKA Illumination that is not listed there, send the model numbers and I will check it.
Can you supply TEKA Illumination 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 TEKA Illumination?
Send the fixture schedule, the drawings or a list of model numbers through the quote form. You will get a line-by-line price and current lead times, usually within one business day. The takeoff costs you nothing.
Why is TEKA a good choice for coastal South Florida?
Because the fixtures are made from copper, bronze, brass and stainless steel rather than painted aluminum. There is no coating to chalk or lift, so salt exposure changes the appearance through patina rather than causing failure. The company describes the product as equally at home on the shoreline or in the desert.
Is TEKA the same company as B-K Lighting?
TEKA Illumination is part of B-K Lighting and is manufactured in the same Madera, California facility. The two lines are quoted together and share manufacturing standards.
What is patina and should I worry about it?
Unfinished copper, bronze and brass darken and develop a surface film over time. It is protective rather than damaging, and it is why these metals are used outdoors. If a client wants a fixture to look identical in year ten, that expectation needs to be discussed before specification, not after.
What does TEKA make?
Indoor and outdoor architectural luminaires — pathlights, bollards, floodlights, area and post tops, wall and ceiling mounts, and pendants — in solid metals, made in the USA since 1993.
