Lighting One premier suppliers are fantastic companies doing amazing things. We love shining a light on their products to keep you informed of some of the latest innovations and designs, and SATCO NUVO is a company you should have on your radar. Known for its top-quality light bulbs (also called “lamps”) and an assortment of functional and decorative fixtures, SATCO NUVO is a U.S.-based company that’s well known in the industry for its great selection, precision testing, and quality assurance. 

Home-Grown High Quality

Brothers-in-law Herb Gildin and Lou Kauffman started the company in Brooklyn, New York, in 1965 under the Sattlelight Wholesalers, Inc. name. The company has enjoyed steady growth and expansion ever since. Its lamps are recognized as some of the best in the industry and, in 2005, the company acquired light fixture company NUVO to expand its product offering to include fixtures and components. 

Today, SATCO NUVO operates from its Brentwood, New York, home office, six dedicated distribution centers across the United States, and 14 throughout North America. 

Extensive Product Assortment

SATCO NUVO manufactures a full range of products for most residential, commercial, and industrial environments. No project is too small or too large, and the company provides expert advice and support to homeowners, general contractors, electricians, and architects for selecting the best products for each application. SATCO lighting includes:

Light bulbs or lamps: Choose from the company’s expansive catalog of traditional, general LED, decorative LED, or commercial LED lamps. 

Decorative fixtures: Match or complement your space with lighting fixtures that suit your style. Pendants, chandeliers, flush mounts, semi-flush mounts, wall lights, and outdoor lighting come in many styles, from ultra-modern to traditional and everything in between. 

Functional fixtures: SATCO NUVO specializes in workplace lighting and serves dozens of industries. Wall packs, troffers, track lighting, linear lights, and exterior fixtures are only a few examples of solutions offered under the NUVO brand. 

Components and accessories: Get all your lighting project needs from a single supplier to ensure consistent quality and compatibility — sockets, ballasts, switches, wires, hardware, and shades. 

SATCO’s Quality Commitment

Not every light bulb or lamp is created equal. Lamps with the same lumen rating can emit slightly different colors of light. In particular, no two LED light diodes are the same, and if a company lacks good quality assurance procedures, you may end up with noticeably different lighting, even when bulb ratings are the same. This can pose a problem when you want a consistent look and feel in a space, whether it’s a kitchen, office, or warehouse. SATCO employs strict quality tolerances in their LED diode inspections, resulting in more consistent, high-quality lamps. 

The company’s mission of doing the right things extends well beyond its products. The leadership team regularly develops ongoing educational programs for those working in the lighting industry. Webinars, calls, and in-person events all serve to educate and inform electricians, installers, builders, and architects on emerging technologies, best practices, and the latest products. 

Lighting the Future

Conservation and sustainability practices are critical in the construction and remodeling industries, and SATCO NUVO is one of the leaders in offering a full range of energy-saving LED lamps for homes, businesses, institutions, and industrial sites. Smart lighting systems are great for home and commercial uses, which is why SATCO also features a host of products and solutions that help create an integrated home, are easy to use, and conserve energy. 

The company’s leadership also understands the complexities of improving and updating legacy lighting systems, which is why they offer specialized support in the design of LED retrofitting solutions for architects, engineers, and contractors.
