Gotham Lighting

In 1957, Gotham Lighting patented the low-brightness recessed downlight

. In 1958, Harry Gerstel designed and patented the recessed accent light which allowed for easy adjustment and a full 360 degree rotation capability. Gotham Lighting was also the first to make use of deep-finned heat radiating socket assemblies to increase lamp life. These developments resulted because of the problem solving and innovative environment that was propagated in the company which continues to this day.

While Gotham Lighting was sold to the ITT Indoor Lighting Group in 1970 and was again resold to Lithonia Lighting late in that same year, Gotham Lighting never ceased to operate and to produce among the latest innovations in the lighting industry.

In the late 1980s Gotham Lighting created Ventimax, the answer to the problem of thermal sensitivity that is common with horizontal compact fluorescent fixtures. Ventimax provides a convective ventilation path, allowing the lamps to cool and also optimizing lamp efficiency.

The year 1995 saw the introduction of the Vertisys system, which displayed Gotham Lightings innovative design philosophy. Vertisys allowed fluorescent downlighting to become similar to and as appealing as incandescent luminaires.

In tackling architectural lighting, Gotham Lighting has come to specialize in downlighting and downlights such as shallow plenum downlighting, specification grade downlighting, and commercial grade downlighting. There were also compact fluorescent square downlights, square downlights and HID square downlights, LED square downlights, flangeless downlights, incandescent square downlights, and even decorative downlights and decorative recessed downlights.

The Gotham group is also a major provider of recessed lighting such as recessed CFL downlights, recessed HID downlights, recessed LED downlights, recessed quartz downlights, and recessed low voltage downlights.
