Manning Lighting was founded in 1948 as a custom designer and manufacturer of traditional and contemporary decorative lighting for religious and architectural buildings. Today Manning Lighting offers a complete line of products for commercial and institutional architectural spaces in addition to an extensive line of traditional and contemporary lighting solutions for houses of worship.

As the result of its ecclesiastical lighting heritage, Manning Lighting has some unique differences that set it apart from other lighting manufacturers:

• A dedication to handcrafted products – Our skilled employees manufacture, polish, paint and assemble the majority of our lighting components in our own facility, giving us complete control over the processes and the ability to exactly meet your custom specifications.

• High performance optical components - Few architectural spaces are as difficult to light well as large churches. Over the years we’ve developed state-of-the-art lighting solutions for incandescent, fluorescent and HID lamps that not only perform well, they also look great.

• An experienced staff of lighting professionals - We can help you plan the ideal custom lighting layout and recommend the proper fixtures and lamp sources to meet your needs.

• A large palette of finishes and materials - We use decorative aluminum castings instead of stampings, solid brass material instead of plated steel, and a selection of durable yet unique finishes to harmonize with any type of interior or exterior.

These capabilities make Manning Lighting an ideal choice for custom projects, historically significant buildings, and any project where mass-produced “off the shelf” lighting isn’t appropriate.
