The Sea Gull Lighting story began at the workbench of a small lighting specialty store in Philadelphia, PA just after the First World War. Even then, Henry Siegel understood the value of continuity and variety. He used his design talents to create his hard-wired and portable fixtures, patenting them with an eye to the future. After World War II, servicemen returned home and wartime rationing ended. As a result, the market for every consumer product would explode with the demand for homes and household goods.

Today, every Sea Gull Lighting fixture is conceived and built to match or exceed the latest tastes in lighting design as well as the newest building codes and construction techniques. Our lighting designers and trend watchers stay in step with current tastes and search out the unique. Never satisfied with a new milestone or industry achievement, we're constantly working on new components, new finishes and new ways to make lighting increase the value of any new home, home improvement project or business channel we service.

The modern Sea Gull Lighting plant stands on 19 acres in Riverside, New Jersey. The company also maintains operations in Philadelphia, PA; Houston, TX and Las Vegas, NV. Our state-of-the-art showrooms are in Riverside, NJ and Dallas, TX. The Hirsch and Solomon families continue to lead a prosperous brand by maintaining a strong sense of the Sea Gull Lighting philosophy: design and build quality, fashionable products; give employees, distributors and builders the tools to succeed; and be ready, always, to satisfy the markets' tastes in décor.
