Xicato

Xicato is a privately held lighting-technology company founded in 2007 and based in San Jose, California. It designs and manufactures LED light engines, modules and drivers aimed at the professional architectural, retail, hospitality and museum lighting markets, where color quality, consistency and reliability matter more than raw lumen output. The brand built its reputation on tightly binned, high-color-rendering LED modules that let luminaire makers and specifiers deliver consistent light quality across a project. Xicato's product families include its well-known LED modules and light engines, along with intelligent, networked lighting platforms that add sensing and data capabilities to commercial spaces. Rather than selling consumer bulbs, the company positions itself as an OEM technology partner supplying component-level light engines to luminaire manufacturers and lighting designers worldwide. Xicato sells primarily into North America, Europe and Asia through OEM partnerships and lighting-specification channels. It operates as a private company and has been associated with venture-backed Silicon Valley technology development. Its positioning centers on premium light quality, color consistency and smart-lighting innovation rather than low-cost volume production.

Xicato was founded in 2007 in California's Silicon Valley as a lighting-technology venture focused on improving the quality of LED light for professional applications. At a time when LED lighting was often criticized for poor color rendering and inconsistency, Xicato built its business around tightly binned, high-color-rendering LED modules and light engines that gave luminaire manufacturers predictable, high-quality light. The company grew by supplying OEM light engines to luminaire makers serving architectural, retail, hospitality and museum projects, where consistent color and reliability are critical. Over time Xicato extended from component-level light engines into intelligent, networked lighting platforms that combine LED modules with sensing and data capabilities for commercial spaces. Xicato has operated as a privately held company and has been associated with venture-backed technology development in Silicon Valley. It sells into North America, Europe and Asia through OEM and specification channels, positioning itself as a premium technology partner rather than a volume producer of consumer lighting products.
