Capitol's ten stores are the offspring of a family retailing tradition that dates back to 1924, when Max Lebersfeld, an electrical contractor and recent immigrant from Austria-Hungary, opened a light fixture store in Newark, NJ. Four generations later, Capitol Lighting has expanded the concept to six locations in New Jersey and four in southeast Florida and in 2002 Capitol Lighting was given the award for New Jersey's Family Business of the Year. Today, says Owner and President Herman Lebersfeld, "we have the largest inventory on hand and on display of any lighting retailer in the country."

The typical Capitol Lighting store spans 12,000 square feet, which allow room for a huge selection. While many lighting showrooms boast a wide selection, Capitol Lighting actually delivers.

That ability to see so many products firsthand is a distinct benefit when it comes to outfitting a new-construction home with a complete set of fixtures. After determining the desired style, reviewing an architect's plans and visiting the home site (if requested), one of Capitol's highly trained and experienced sales and design consultants can walk a customer through the showroom and point out fixtures that will meet the project's needs.

Home lighting products have made great strides in recent years in terms of performance and styling. Walk into Capitol Lighting and you're likely to be stunned by the variety of available designs, light sources, sizes and coordinating accessories on hand.
