About Scout
Scout was founded in New York with a mission: to redefine lighting through purpose-driven design and thoughtful innovation. Our award-winning luminaires are the result of ground-up ideation, where cutting-edge technology meets architectural sophistication, both for today and the future.
Built around a 21st-century factory model and rapid manufacturing capabilities, Scout is delivering on the true promise of LED technology—beyond energy efficiency. From precision beam sculpting and higher outputs in compact forms to digital programmability and modular flexibility, we create lighting tools designed for adaptability and long-term performance.
At Scout, we’re a unique collective of passionate designers, engineers, and makers, continuously inspired by new materials, processes, and possibilities. Our deep collaboration with architects, lighting designers, installers, and end users has shaped our core belief: “Innovative, responsible industrial design can transform the built environment like nothing else.” This principle guides every step we take as we develop the next generation of architectural lighting.
Our thoughtfully curated showroom in Chelsea, NYC, is a space for connection, creativity, and collaboration with our vibrant A&D community. Meanwhile, our production facility in Mineola, Long Island—surrounded by many of our trusted supply chain partners—embodies our commitment to regional manufacturing, sustainability, and local economic impact.
As an independent, New York–based manufacturer, we take pride in our regional partnerships. This network enables dynamic fabrication capabilities and supports local economies, a cornerstone of our continued success. Together, we are establishing Scout as a premier domestic lighting solution for forward-thinking architects and designers.
Award-winning technology, designed from the ground up.
Scout LED engines and luminaires are modular, multifunctional, and future-proof—crafted with precision and purpose to meet the needs of modern architecture.
With 90% of our lives spent indoors, electric light plays a pivotal role in shaping how we experience space. Whether it’s spectrally sensitive LEDs or highlighting natural materials, our fixtures are engineered to enhance mood, wellness, and overall spatial aesthetics.
We also understand the challenges of modern manufacturing. That’s why we’ve built Scout around sustainable practices—from recycled components and modular design to just-in-time fabrication. A single extrusion can serve multiple fixture needs, dramatically reducing waste and increasing efficiency.
And as science continues to deepen our understanding of human responses to light—especially non-visible wavelengths—we’re applying those insights to every aspect of our work, from concept through installation.
As building codes evolve and “Zero Carbon” mandates take hold, Scout is ready. Lighting remains one of the most cost-effective ways to meet energy goals and reduce environmental impact. Our solutions are curated, flexible, and designed to simplify your path toward sustainable, high-performance lighting layouts.
