Forecast Lighting was founded in Southern California in the early 1970's. From the very beginning, Forecast focused on developing contemporary lighting designs that were distinctive from the competition. These designs were generated by constantly seeking customer feedback as well as a careful analysis of the trends of the day in home décor.

In 1992, Lightolier acquired Forecast and relocated the company to our current headquarters in Elgin, IL. Our customer service, sales and warehousing remains in Elgin today. We also operate a trade only showroom in the Dallas Market Center.

Today, Forecast markets our products in both the residentially focused lighting showroom market, as well as the commercial specification segment. We offer a wide range of products for both interior as well as exterior applications, including many Energy Smart options. In the past four years, we have introduced over 650 new products!

Forecast is a Philips group brand.
