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 expands Brightline’s presence in one of the nation’s most influential markets. It brings Brightline’s award-winning lighting solutions to a broader network of specifiers, integrators, and end users. These solutions include high-CRI studio fixtures, TrueTone technology, and intuitive control systems.
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 had a successful, long-term relationship with Forman & Associates. That history created a strong foundation of trust and collaboration for 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. The agency supports projects from concept through completion. It works closely with lighting designers, architects, engineers, integrators, and end users to develop customized solutions. Each solution balances 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 control flexibility our clients demand. That applies in broadcast studios, corporate environments, and performance spaces. Brightline’s LED retrofit solutions are also easy to deploy. As a result, our customers can modernize existing installations while improving light quality and energy efficiency. We’re thrilled to bring these capabilities to our clients across Southern California.”
Brightline will participate in a special LINX event, “Lighting & Line Drives,” on May 20th. For the event, LINX will take over The Ultimate Skybox, a private rooftop venue overlooking Petco Park during the Padres vs. Dodgers game. Attendees will be able to experience Brightline’s latest lighting technologies firsthand. They can also engage directly with Brightline and LINX experts.
