Leading Southern California Agency to Represent Full Brightline Portfolio
Bridgeville, Penn. – May 6, 2026 – Brightline Lighting announced a new strategic partnership with LINX Lighting + Controls, one of Southern California’s premier lighting representative agencies. Under the agreement, LINX will represent Brightline’s complete portfolio of fixtures and control solutions throughout Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County.
The partnership significantly expands Brightline’s presence in one of the nation’s most influential markets, bringing its award-winning lighting solutions, including high-CRI studio fixtures, TrueTone technology, and intuitive control systems, to a broader network of specifiers, integrators, and end users.
While the partnership is new, the relationship between the two organizations is well established. LINX Lighting + Controls was formed in 2024 through the merger of Forman & Associates and Western Lighting & Energy Controls. Brightline previously enjoyed a successful, long-term relationship with Forman & Associates, laying a strong foundation of trust and collaboration that carries forward into this new chapter.
“We are incredibly excited to be working with the team at LINX,” said Kathy Katz, Managing Partner, Brightline Lighting. “They bring deep market knowledge, strong relationships, and a clear commitment to delivering best-in-class lighting solutions. Having worked with many of their principals in the past, we know firsthand the level of expertise and energy they bring. This partnership positions us to better serve customers across Southern California.”
LINX Lighting + Controls is known for its consultative approach, supporting projects from concept through completion. The agency works closely with lighting designers, architects, engineers, integrators, and end users to develop customized solutions that balance performance, efficiency, and aesthetics across architectural, entertainment, and controls applications.
“Brightline is one of the most respected names in lighting design,” said Nicholas Forman, LINX Lighting + Controls Co-CEO. “Their fixtures deliver exceptional color rendering, consistent output, and the kind of control flexibility our clients demand – whether in broadcast studios, corporate environments, or performance spaces. The ease of deployment, particularly with Brightline’s LED retrofit solutions, makes it simple for our customers to modernize existing installations while improving both light quality and energy efficiency. We’re thrilled to bring these capabilities to our clients across Southern California.”
Brightline will participate at a special LINX event “Lighting & Line Drives” on May 20th LINX will take over The Ultimate Skybox, a private rooftop venue overlooking Petco Park during the Padres vs. Dodgers game. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience Brightline’s latest lighting technologies firsthand and engage directly with both Brightline and LINX experts.
