Better Together: Cultivating a Community for Exceptional Outcomes

The merger of Western Lighting & Energy Controls and Forman & Associates was more than just a strategic business decision—it was a deliberate choice to build something greater than the sum of its parts. Together, they could offer a level of service, product knowledge, and industry expertise that no single company could.

The name Linx was born out of the idea that the lighting industry is about more than just light—it’s about linking people to solutions, innovation, and possibilities. In a world where technology evolves rapidly, the name Linx symbolizes the seamless connection between people, products, and results.

The word “Linx” is a play on the word “links,” emphasizing the idea of connection: the connections between manufacturers and specifiers, designers and installers, and, of course, technology and end-users. The name also evokes the idea of a network—a framework that binds these relationships together, ensuring success for every project, no matter the size or complexity.

The addition of Lighting + Controls to our name captures the dual focus of the company: not only providing cutting-edge lighting solutions but also offering sophisticated controls that bring intelligence and automation to lighting systems, creating smarter, more efficient environments.

At Linx Lighting + Controls, we believe that we are better together. By combining two strong and respected teams, we are able to pool our resources, our networks, and our collective knowledge, ensuring that we offer the most comprehensive, innovative, and tailored solutions to our clients.

At its core, Linx isn’t just about selling lighting products—it’s about making connections that lead to successful, innovative projects. Linx Lighting + Controls is ensuring that the Southern California lighting community will continue to thrive, innovate, and excel for years to come.

In the world of lighting and controls, success is all about making the right connections. And with Linx Lighting + Controls, those connections have never been stronger.
