About Ushio
Ushio America was established in 1967 and is based in Cypress, California. Its parent, Ushio Inc. of Japan, is one of the world’s largest light source manufacturers. The company describes itself as a vertically integrated solutions company for light, working across the electromagnetic spectrum from extreme ultraviolet through to infrared.
This is a light source company rather than a fixture company, and the range is wider than most people expect: lamps, lasers, LEDs and systems. Xenon, UV, excimer, metal halide, halogen and LED technologies all sit in the catalog, at scales from EUV semiconductor sources down to replacement lamps. Named lines include Ushio Lighting Solutions, NECSEL lasers, PD-LD active fiber optics, Kooptech Cinema, Care222, HiLUX GRO, Uphoria, MIDORI and Indiglow.
Two things bring Ushio onto a South Florida project. Cinema and entertainment venues still need xenon and specialty lamps that almost nobody else makes, and Care222 far UV-C technology, developed with Ushio Japan, is specified for infection prevention in occupied spaces. Horticulture and landscape lighting round out the range.

Getting Ushio on your job
Ushio 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 Ushio lines with everything else, chase the submittals and stay on the lead times.

Line card data read from the representative agency’s own published South Florida line card. Territories and line cards change — if you are working to a deadline, call me and I will confirm before you specify.
Quoting Ushio?
Send the fixture schedule or the drawings. You will get a line-by-line price and current lead times, usually within one business day.
Request a Project Quote Call 786-395-1222Job outside South Florida?
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 Ushio — and name the rep for your area either way. No charge, no catch.
Manufacturer
Building outside South Florida? Ushio does not publish a rep locator I could verify. Tell me the brand and the job address and I will identify the agency for your territory.
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 Ushio
Who is the Ushio 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 Ushio line?
Most often lamps and bulbs. That is what I see on jobs, not the whole catalog. If you need something from Ushio that is not listed there, send the model numbers and I will check it.
Can you supply Ushio 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 Ushio?
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 does Ushio make?
Light sources rather than architectural fixtures — lamps, lasers, LEDs and systems, spanning xenon, UV, excimer, metal halide, halogen and LED technologies. Ushio America was established in 1967 and is based in Cypress, California.
What is Care222?
Care222 is Ushio’s far UV-C technology, developed with Ushio Japan for infection prevention. It is specified where continuous disinfection is wanted in occupied spaces rather than only when a room is empty.
Does Ushio still make cinema lamps?
Cinema is one of its named markets, and Kooptech Cinema is one of its named lines. Xenon and specialty projection sources are a category very few manufacturers still serve, which is why theatres and venues come back to Ushio.
Who owns Ushio America?
Ushio Inc. of Japan, which the company describes as one of the world’s largest light source manufacturers.

Ask me about Ushio
Not ready for a full quote? Ask the question — whether the line holds a spec, what the lead time looks like, or what I would put up as an alternative. I usually come back the same business day.
Or call 786-395-1222, Monday to Friday, nine to five. If you have drawings or a fixture schedule to attach, use the quote form instead. For a whole project I handle fixture takeoffs, submittals and procurement across the line card.
