Since incorporation in 1981, Atlanta Light Bulbs President, Gary Root, began supplying light bulbs, ballasts and light fixtures to commercial and industrial customers in the Atlanta metropolitan area from a humble garage. Pacing its growth with the dramatic growth of the Atlanta area, Atlanta Light Bulbs experienced a significant increase in the demand for lighting products for metro Atlanta.
By the early 1990s, the company relocated to a larger facility, featuring a lighting showroom and warehouse space. This new warehouse space stocked the ever expanding and diversifying lighting inventory demanded by the growing customer base: Specialty lamps, projector lamps, medical lamps, European bulbs, miniature lamps, light fixtures, and lighting installations.
Atlanta Light Bulbs became a leader in lighting the Atlanta skyline through its competitive prices and ability to source globally. In 1998, the launch of AtlantaLightBulbs.com enabled the company to provide its vast product knowledge, inventory, and value to a national and international market. One of the first companies in Atlanta to offer its inventory and services online, alongside the launch of the BulbMatrix, Atlanta Light Bulbs grew into a premier online lighting supplier.
