LED Lighting Distributor: Lithonia, Cooper, Hubbell, RAB, WAC, Sylvania, Feit, Ledvance
Direct-distributor coverage of 13+ stocked LED lighting brands — high-bay, low-bay, wall packs, area lighting, roadway/parking, canopy, downlights, panels, strips, drivers, and controls. Commercial, residential, and industrial applications. 357 SKUs, contractor pricing, and pallet freight.
PES Supply is a direct-distributor for 13+ LED lighting brands. Our Louisville, KY warehouse stocks 357 LED lighting SKUs across high-bay, low-bay, wall packs, area lighting, roadway/parking, canopy, downlights, panels, strips, drivers, and controls. Every fixture ships with full manufacturer warranty and dedicated tech-line escalation. This hub covers what LED families exist, which brands own which application, and how to spec each — so a contractor can walk from "warehouse retrofit at 50,000 lumens per fixture" to a signed PO in one session.
Every commercial and industrial LED design routes to one of eleven fixture families. The classification matters because it changes the mounting hardware, driver rating, and lumen envelope you spec against.
| Family | Typical mounting | Lumen range | Common application | Volume PES brands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High-bay | 15 – 45 ft ceiling suspended | 15,000 – 60,000 lm | Warehouses, distribution, factories, gyms | Hyperikon, MaxLite, TCP, RAB, Satco |
| Low-bay | 8 – 15 ft ceiling suspended | 4,000 – 20,000 lm | Retail, small manufacturing, service bays | Feit Electric, TCP, MaxLite, Ledvance, Sylvania |
| Wall pack | Building exterior wall-mount | 2,500 – 20,000 lm | Building perimeter, security, dock doors | RAB Lighting, Cooper, Hubbell, Ledvance, Feit |
| Area / shoebox | 15 – 40 ft pole-mount | 10,000 – 60,000 lm | Parking lots, campus roadways, industrial yards | RAB, Cooper, Lithonia, Keystone, TCP |
| Roadway / cobra head | Municipal pole-mount (davit arm) | 8,000 – 40,000 lm | Streets, highways, arterials | Cooper, Hubbell, RAB |
| Canopy | Under-canopy flush-mount | 3,000 – 15,000 lm | Gas stations, drive-throughs, parking decks | RAB, Cooper, Sylvania, Hubbell |
| Parking garage | Ceiling flush-mount (low-profile) | 5,000 – 20,000 lm | Multi-level parking structures | Sylvania, Cooper, RAB, Feit |
| Downlights | Recessed can, 4 in / 6 in / 8 in | 800 – 4,000 lm | Offices, hospitality, retail, residential | Lithonia (CPX), Ledvance, Keystone, WAC |
| Panels / troffers | 2×2 / 2×4 lay-in ceiling grid | 3,500 – 6,000 lm | Offices, schools, healthcare | Lithonia (CPANL, CPX), RAB, TCP, LEDVANCE |
| Linear strips | 4 ft / 8 ft surface or suspended | 3,000 – 12,000 lm | General commercial, retail, warehouses | Hubbell, WAC, Hyperikon, Keystone |
| Drivers + controls | Independent driver modules, occupancy sensors, dimmers | N/A | Full-system retrofit, 0-10V dimming, DALI, KNX | Ledvance, WAC, Lutron-compatible |
Two patterns worth flagging: (1) Lithonia (Acuity Brands) owns the commercial troffer / CPANL / CPX segment by unit volume — 2×2 and 2×4 recessed panels are the largest fixture category in commercial retrofits; (2) RAB Lighting, Cooper, and Hubbell dominate the exterior area/wall pack/roadway segment where UL wet-location listing and IP65+ sealing matter. Interior and exterior are effectively two different product taxonomies.
The matrix at the top of this page shows the SKU count per brand. Below is the same picture in table form with the product families each brand covers in PES stock. Every model listed here is a real SKU in our Louisville warehouse.

◐ = partial coverage. The 357-SKU catalog also includes Westinghouse (15 SKUs) and 50 PES-branded fixtures for OEM / bulk projects. Combined the catalog covers residential retrofit through commercial 480 V high-bay.
Residential — energy-efficiency retrofit
Residential LED work is dominated by A-shape and BR-shape screw-in retrofits, PAR16/20/30/38 track and can-light retrofits, and 4-inch / 6-inch downlight replacements. Feit Electric, Sylvania, and Ledvance own the residential-branded volume; Lithonia CPX and Keystone downlights carry the contractor market. Voltage: 120 V single-phase. Dimming: TRIAC / MLV compatible. Warranty: typically 5 years.
Commercial — 277 V wired, 0-10V dimmed
Commercial buildings run 277 V single-phase or 120/277 V dual-input drivers. 0-10V dimming is the volume dimming protocol; DALI is a distant second on high-end office. Panels (Lithonia CPX/CPANL, RAB troffers), track lighting (Cooper, Hubbell, Keystone), and downlights (Ledvance, Keystone) carry the office market. Emergency lighting (WAC, RAB, Feit) and exit signs (WAC, RAB, Satco) are separately spec'd. Warranty: typically 5 – 10 years.
Industrial — 480 V high-bay, IP65 exterior
Warehouses and manufacturing run 277 V or 480 V high-bay fixtures at 15,000 – 60,000 lumens. Hyperikon, TCP, Satco, and RAB dominate the volume; MaxLite and Feit cover the mid-range. Exterior industrial (shoebox, wall pack, canopy, area) is wet-location UL listed and typically IP65+ sealed. Drivers are wide-input (100 – 277 V or 277 – 480 V). Warranty: typically 10 years, with 5-year driver warranty called out separately.
Identify the fixture family — interior panel, exterior wall pack, high-bay, or downlight.
Interior panel / troffer: Lithonia CPX, CPANL; Ledvance; RAB. High-bay: Hyperikon, TCP, MaxLite, Satco. Exterior wall pack: RAB, Cooper, Hubbell, Ledvance. Downlight: Ledvance, Keystone, Lithonia. This alone collapses the 357-SKU catalog to a shortlist of five.
Confirm input voltage — 120 V residential, 277 V commercial, or 480 V industrial.
Residential: 120 V. Commercial: 120 V, 277 V, or 120/277 V universal. Industrial: 277 V or 480 V. Universal-input drivers (120–277 V or 277–480 V) simplify BOM but cost 10–15% more. Verify against the fixture's driver spec — not all Cooper or Hubbell high-bays include 480 V input.
Set the lumen target — foot-candles × area / coefficient of utilization.
Warehouse: 30 fc average = 25,000 – 50,000 lm per fixture at 20 ft mounting. Office: 40 fc = 4,000 – 5,000 lm panels at 9 ft ceiling. Retail: 60 – 100 fc high-visibility zones. Parking lot: 3 – 5 fc average = 15,000 – 30,000 lm shoebox at 25 ft pole.
Match color temperature — 3000 K, 3500 K, 4000 K, or 5000 K.
Residential / hospitality: 2700 K – 3000 K warm. Office / retail: 3500 K – 4000 K neutral. Industrial / warehouse: 5000 K cool white. Some Lithonia CPX and RAB shoebox SKUs offer switchable 3500/4000/5000 K to reduce SKU sprawl.
Verify dimming and control — 0-10V, TRIAC, DALI, or none.
Commercial standard: 0-10V dimming with 1% or 10% low-end. Residential: TRIAC / MLV. High-end office: DALI (Cooper Control, Lutron QS integration). Verify the fixture's driver includes the dim protocol you spec'd — non-dim drivers cost less but limit control retrofits.
PES Supply operates the same three-tier contractor pricing model on LED lighting as on inverters, batteries, and solar hardware — tied to registered installer status, monthly volume, and pallet-quantity purchase.
| Tier | Who qualifies | Discount vs public list | Freight | Payment terms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 — Contractor | Verified installer, EIN + resale certificate on file | 10 – 22% | Ground or LTL, quoted at checkout | Net-30 on approved credit, or card |
| Tier 2 — Volume dealer | $25k+ per calendar quarter across categories | 15 – 28% | Freight offset on qualifying orders | Net-30 standard, Net-45 approved |
| Tier 3 — Pallet / bulk retrofit | Full pallet or 100+ fixture single PO | 20 – 35% + custom freight | Pallet freight quote (LTL / FTL) | Net-30 to Net-60, EPC terms case-by-case |
LED lighting discount tiers are meaningfully deeper than inverters because commercial lighting retrofits move on pallet-quantity purchase (a 200-fixture warehouse retrofit typically clears Tier 3). Fluorescent-to-LED conversion projects, parking lot retrofits, and multi-site rebranding are the volume drivers.
Lithonia (Acuity Brands)
Spec when: The commercial troffer volume leader. Any office retrofit that spec'd 2×4 fluorescent goes to Lithonia CPX or CPANL first.
The Lithonia CPX Series (Switchable Panel 3500/4000/5000 K) is the workhorse — one SKU covers three color temperatures for maintenance simplicity. CPANL is the switchable brother. 2×2 and 2×4 versions cover 99% of the office panel market. Volume PES SKUs include the 2×4 CPX Switchable. Contractor price band $85–$119 per fixture.
Cooper Lighting
Spec when: The exterior area/wall pack specialist. Any parking lot or campus retrofit lands here or at RAB.
Cooper Lighting (part of Eaton) is the North American shoebox / wall pack / roadway leader — every fixture is UL wet-location listed, IP65 sealed, and available in 120/277 V or 480 V. Track lighting and post-top for commercial exteriors round out the range. Volume PES SKUs cover 74 W – 936 W ratings in shoebox, exit sign, post top, and track fixtures.
Hubbell
Spec when: The premium commercial linear + flood specialist — heavy-duty industrial and university campus.
Hubbell fixtures are the choice on 5 – 10 year warranty projects where installers want long-life drivers and heat-sink robustness. Volume PES SKUs cover strip lights, track lights, flood lights, post-top fixtures, and canopy — 74 W – 969 W ratings. Contractor price bands run $67 – $2,488 depending on wattage class.
RAB Lighting
Spec when: The mid-priced exterior + emergency workhorse. Best cost-per-lumen on shoebox and troffer.
RAB (Ross Amory Baker) covers troffers, emergency lights, post tops, canopy, and shoebox — with a strong reputation for driver reliability at commodity prices. Volume PES SKUs include emergency 34,383 lm troffer and 285 W canopy fixtures. Contractor price bands $199 – $2,338.
WAC Lighting
Spec when: The specialty interior brand — bollards, exit signs, emergency, linear.
WAC Lighting owns the specialty interior segment — decorative bollards for lobby / retail, low-bay linear for retail, exit signs, emergency lights. Cool-white or warm color options. Bollard 2700 K, low bay, exit sign dimmable, and emergency light dimmable across the range.
Sylvania (Osram)
Spec when: European engineering, US-manufactured. Parking garage and bollard leader.
Sylvania (Osram brand in the US) owns the parking garage segment — 21,648 lm bollard, 693 W parking garage dimmable, 828 W bollard 6500 K. Also wall packs and post-tops. Volume PES SKUs span $7 – $2,148 depending on wattage and dim spec.
Feit Electric, Ledvance, Hyperikon, MaxLite, TCP, Keystone, Satco
Spec when: The mid-tier volume brands — retail retrofits, low-bay, high-bay, downlight.
These seven brands cover the mid-tier volume where price-per-lumen and 5-year warranty are the dominant selection criteria. Feit Electric on exit signs and low bay, Ledvance (formerly Osram Sylvania) on emergency + downlight + panel + wall pack, Hyperikon on high-bay + area + track + linear, MaxLite on emergency + step + linear + flood + bollard, TCP on corn bulb + low bay + exit + track + shoebox, Keystone on track + shoebox + downlight + bollard + panel, and Satco on panel + post top + track + high bay 480 V. Combined they cover most commercial and industrial mid-market applications.
The four commitments that matter to lighting contractors
- Stock — Louisville, KY. LED fixtures ship same-day for orders placed before 2 PM ET on in-stock SKUs. Interior fixtures (Lithonia CPX/CPANL, WAC bollards, Ledvance downlights) ship UPS or LTL. Exterior fixtures (RAB shoebox, Cooper roadway, Hubbell flood) palletize LTL freight class 85. Bulk retrofits (100+ fixtures single PO) always FTL pallet.
- Warranty registration handled at ship. For all authorized-distributor brands (Lithonia, Cooper, Hubbell, RAB, Ledvance, Sylvania), PES auto-registers the S/N to the installer account of record so the warranty term (5 – 10 years depending on brand and fixture class) banks from install date.
- Photometric support at spec time. For layout-critical projects (warehouse high-bay, parking lot shoebox), PES's tech line will run an AGi32 or Visual Lighting Design photometric on Cooper, Hubbell, and Lithonia fixtures to confirm foot-candle coverage before you PO.
- Compatibility guaranteed at spec time. Emergency drivers, occupancy sensors, and 0-10V dimmer compatibility are verified on the contractor portal Compatibility Checker — critical when mixing brands on a retrofit.
