Since 2011, we at PLT have prided ourselves on using cost-effective materials to produce high quality commercial lighting products. During our first few years, we filled a gap in the HID lighting market by offering ballast and lamp solutions at better prices than our competitors. Since then, we have expanded our product lines to include LEDs – and without sacrificing the price range and quality that has kept us a worthy competitor in the marketplace for a decade. Now, we offer top rated LED area lights, high bays, LED corn bulbs, LED panels, wall packs and other lighting solutions.
At PLT, we seek to surpass industry standards in multiple ways, from offering LED drivers that can handle much higher operating temperatures than our competitors, to managing tightly controlled inspections for our products ensuring first-in-class performance. PLTalso provides custom specifications with a quick turnaround, often within 70 to 90 days. Replacement and modification parts are simple to order and install, making our products easy to maintain.
Most PLT products also come with a certified 5-year warranty to ensure your lighting never falters. Maximize your efficiency and save money with PLT.

In 1979, after serving in the United States Navy, Kim responded to an ad for a lighting sales position, where he sold lighting door-to-door throughout the Midwest. Soon after, he and Patsy relocated to Dallas, TX so he could work for a national lighting distributor. With his career developing, Kim decided that the time had come to start his own business. Using a small amount of personal savings, Patsy and Kim began their operation from their home. With a typewriter and a desk fashioned out of an old door and two saw horses, they converted a spare bedroom into an office and got to work. Determined by the drive to succeed, they sold products by day and invoiced paperwork by night, often working without a break. Business thrived, and Kim was ready for something more; they began researching the “internet” as a portal to the marketplace. It soon became evident the market was ready for this new buying experience, and 1000Bulbs.com was launched in 1996. The company grew rapidly, creating jobs and developing a growing amount of engaged customers, earning them the 2010 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. Kim and Patsy founded PLT in 2011, offering competitively priced ballast and lamps to fill a gap in the HID market. PLT has since expanded to offer a huge variety of high quality affordable lighting products. Today, Kim continues to strive for excellence, always moving forward with cutting-edge ideas and promoting customer satisfaction.
