About Westinghouse Lighting
Westinghouse Lighting traces to a 1946 South Philadelphia store run as Angelo Brothers, still operates from Philadelphia as a private family business, and uses the Westinghouse name under trademark license. It sells ceiling fans, indoor and outdoor fixtures, light bulbs, fan light kits, controls and lamp parts. It is a value-tier brand bought by homeowners, property managers and contractors doing volume work.

What you get for the money
Value tier, with breadth as the main proposition - fans, fixtures, bulbs and lamp parts from one source. The most interesting piece is the coastal-friendly exterior range: Westinghouse states these fixtures are built in polypropylene or polycarbonate with a finish applied over the polymer, and that they resist corrosion, rust and fading from extreme temperature and UV exposure. A representative fixture in that range is listed as wet-location approved with a five-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Where it gets used
Rental and multifamily turnover, budget-driven new construction, garages, porches, utility spaces and whole-house bulb replacement. In South Florida the coastal-friendly polymer exterior fixtures are the standout use - a coated polymer body simply does not corrode the way a coated steel or aluminum lantern does in salt air, which makes them a sensible choice for oceanfront rentals and condo walkways where replacement cost matters.
Specifying notes
Verify the wet or damp listing and the warranty term on the specific catalog number rather than across the range - a documented example, the 8-inch one-light polypropylene outdoor flush mount, is wet-location approved with a five-year limited warranty, but other items differ. The polymer coastal fixtures use frosted glass or textured acrylic panels; the body is the corrosion-resistant part, not the glazing. Multi-Kelvin surface mounts allow field-selectable color temperature, which is useful when matching existing fixtures on a partial retrofit.
How it compares
| Satco / Nuvo | Comparable value tier with a stronger electrical distribution channel and deeper commercial lamp coverage. |
|---|---|
| Progress Lighting | A step up in decorative build for builder work, but its warranty excludes salt-air corrosion. |
| Kichler | Mid tier with coastal-rated finish programs - LifeBrite, Climates and Durashield - if you want metal fixtures near the water. |
| Hunter | Overlaps heavily on ceiling fans, with a limited lifetime motor warranty Westinghouse does not match across the board. |
Common questions about Westinghouse Lighting
Is Westinghouse Lighting good quality?
It is a value-tier brand, best judged item by item. The polymer coastal exterior fixtures are genuinely well suited to salt-air locations, while much of the rest of the range is priced for volume and rental work.
Who represents Westinghouse Lighting in South Florida?
I do not represent this line, so it sits in this index for reference. The manufacturer will point you to the agency that covers Florida. If you are working on a job here and want a comparable fixture from a line I represent, send me the type and I will put an alternative in front of you.
Does Westinghouse Lighting have a warranty?
Warranty terms vary by product. Westinghouse states a five-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship on its polypropylene outdoor fixtures; for other items I confirm the applicable term before you order.
Are Westinghouse coastal fixtures really better near the ocean?
Materially, yes. Westinghouse builds them in polypropylene or polycarbonate rather than metal and states they resist corrosion, rust and fading from temperature and UV exposure. A polymer body has nothing to rust, which is the failure mode that kills coated metal lanterns near salt water.
Is Westinghouse Lighting the same company as Westinghouse Electric?
No. Westinghouse Lighting is a private Philadelphia family business, formerly Angelo Brothers Company, that uses the Westinghouse name under a trademark license. It is not the same entity as Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
Is Westinghouse Lighting made in the USA?
No. The company has operated from Philadelphia since 1946, but its product is not represented as US-manufactured.
