Lighting Solutions Designed for Performance and Responsibility.

NICOR is at the forefront of sustainable innovation, we design and manufacture premium LED lighting fixtures and smart control systems that not only enhance building performance but also drive meaningful environmental impact. With completed Life Cycle Analyses (LCAs) and Product-Specific Environmental Product Declarations (PS-EPDs) for select products, we’re committed to full transparency and continuous improvement. Our growing focus on education and responsible design empowers building owners and specifiers to make informed choices that support carbon neutrality goals, reduce global warming potential, and achieve certifications such as LEED, WELL, and ILFI.

Carbon-Emissions

We offer third-party verified, product-specific Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for select luminaires, providing trusted data on embodied carbon in compliance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804 standards. As part of our commitment to transparency and sustainable design, we’re actively expanding EPD coverage across our product portfolio—empowering lighting specifiers and building owners to make informed, climate-conscious decisions.

Advancing Embedded Lighting Controls

Our luminaires with embedded lighting controls make it easy for building owners to reduce energy use and meet code compliance. With built-in occupancy and daylight sensors—and optional networked capabilities—each fixture becomes an intelligent control point. This flexible, scalable solution enables software-based adjustments, data insights, and greater control over energy performance, helping drive long-term operational savings and sustainability.

Compliance with Leading Efficiency Standards

NICOR’s lighting fixtures and control systems are designed to meet today’s most stringent energy efficiency standards—including DesignLights Consortium (DLC) Version 5.1, ENERGY STAR® Downlights V1.0, and California Title 24 (T24) requirements. These certifications do more than ensure code compliance—they reflect our commitment to reducing energy consumption and lowering greenhouse gas emissions across the built environment. For lighting specifiers and building owners, this means confidence in high-performance solutions that support sustainability goals while delivering long-term value and environmental impact.
