WE DESIGN FOR THE LAMP SOURCE

AFX’s products create design elements for a variety of lighting applications.

LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) combine long life (50,000 hours +), low heat, and low energy consumption with a very compact, flexible size. LED technology advances bring new efficiency to fixtures, allowing smaller lighting designs and lower maintenance.

Medium Base (E26) socket fixtures offer the flexability of multiple light sources from LED to Incandescent screw in type bulbs.

WE ARE COMPLIANT WITH ALL ENERGY CODES

YESTERDAY. TODAY. TOMORROW.

From a modest start shortly before World War II, AFX has become one of the country’s largest energy-efficient lighting manufacturers. (Originally known as American Fluorescent), AFX was founded by William Rusnak, a banker and furniture retailer with an entrepreneurial spirit. Rusnak reportedly first encountered fluorescent lighting at the 1933-34 Century of Progress International Exposition in Chicago. He opened shop in 1938. Jerry Solomon, Rusnak’s son-in-law, came into the business in 1940, pioneering the introduction of undercabinet lighting, and following in his father’s footsteps, his son Bill Solomon became President in 1983, forging a modernization program that has never lost momentum. As an industry leader, we embrace the best new ideas in lighting design and manufacturing.

Headquartered in Waukegan, IL, the company maintains strategically-located stocked warehouses in Dallas, TX and Charlotte, NC, to insure prompt fulfillment of orders from coast to coast. Superior engineering and the ability to deliver competitively priced, well-designed products result in a consistently high level of customer satisfaction making AFX the industry leader. Through our national network of independent sales agencies, AFX supports a distribution network of lighting showrooms and electrical distributors. In addition, we work with specifiers, designers and architects to establish AFX as the approved supplier. Our products are used in a variety of applications, from commercial buildings, hotels and restaurants, to multi-family, assisted-living and single-family residences, and more.
