This month, we are spotlighting Lightly, a lighting manufacturer whose thoughtful design creates meaningful impact. With a focus on domestic manufacturing, sustainability, and high-performance fixtures, this Pennsylvania-based brand is redefining what it means to build better!
Â
PENNSYLVANIA PROUD
Right outside of Philadelphia in Boothwyn, PA, Lightly is making an impact – boosting the economy and job markets, shortening lead times, and supporting the environment. They take pride in the domestic manufacturing of their solutions. They believe caring for the planet begins with Made in USA-compliant fixtures.
Â
CRESCENT
Crescent is Lightly’s most compact solution thus far, presenting a low-profile, minimalist design with comfortable, glare-controlled illumination. These suspended luminaires offer exceptional direct/indirect distribution in a modern form factor in either a 2.5-inch height lens or a 3.25-inch height louvered option. Crescent is available in wood finishes.
Â
BUTTERFLY
Traditional lighting is dependent on translucent diffusers to project illumination. However, the Butterfly linear pendant floats effortlessly against the wind, delivering a fixed 80% indirect / 20% direct distribution. Its open-web optical profile brushed in highly reflective matte white eco-friendly paint conceals LED engines, reduces glare, and creates a unique open-air experience. Butterfly can be suspended or wall mounted and finished in wood or wool.
Â
GLOW
Glow is an LED solution delivering direct or indirect illumination. Like Butterfly, Glow challenges traditional illumination with its hidden light source, ensuring low-glare lighting without pixels or shadows – diffusion without diffusers! This solution stands out with its customizable length, integrated negative space for felt acoustic baffles, and four versatile configurations: Suspended Direct, Suspended Indirect, Cantilever Direct, and Suspended Combo. It is available in all finish types.
Â
FINISHES
Looking for a warm, textured finish without toxic materials? Lightly’s biophilic wood options get the job done: Onyx, Honey, White, Natural, and Dark Walnut.
Searching for a character that is less soft and more edgy? Create contrast in a space and block all light leaks with the distinguished wool finishes: Fern Green, Graphite, Heather Gray, and Thunderstorm.

Lightly exemplifies quality craftsmanship, combining domestic manufacturing with high-performance solutions and refined finishes. Their commitment to excellence is evident in every detail, making them an ideal choice for those who value both form and function.
