Vode Lighting creates lighting systems that elevate the spaces we inhabit and are kind to the planet we share. Since day one the intent was to develop lighting known for its innovation in product design, efficiency, lighting performance and environmental responsibility. In other words, simply doing the right thing. Vode Lighting systems have been installed in public, commercial and residential buildings around the world.

Vode was founded in 2006 by partners Tom Warton, Scott Yu and George Mieling with a mission of transformation: to convert energy to its most efficient light forms, to invigorate architecture with minimalist lighting systems, and to inspire the people who work under our light to be their best.

In 2005, industrial designer Scott Yu yearned to use his design talent to create enduring and environmentally mindful products. He saw an opportunity to apply design thinking to the lighting arena that looked ready for profound changes - as well as growing awareness of environmental impacts of lighting in energy consumption. Scott was so inspired that he began hosting meetings with designers, technology and business thinkers to hatch a plan to create the perfect architectural lighting company. At the same time, Northern California native Tom Warton, a lighting industry entrepreneur, imagined better ways to think about linear lighting and a more principled way to run a lighting company.

In early 2005, Scott invited Tom to attend one of his meetings and ideas sparked. Over the next nine months a plan evolved to create minimalistic and customizable lighting systems that had never before existed. Their research revealed that commercial architectural lighting systems could have the greatest impact. To round out the team, George Mieling, a Boston-based, international business executive in the food pharmaceuticals industry, joined to run finance and sales.

In early 2006, three people of diverse cultures, industries and talents launched a company based on three converging factors: environmental responsibility, design insight and new lighting technology. The goal: to build a linear lighting systems company that substantially contributed, not only the betterment of our blue planet but, to the well-being of all people involved.

On June 9th, 2023, LMPG Inc., a leading specification-grade LED lighting solutions group, announced that it had acquired a majority stake in privately-held Vode Lighting LLC. Vode remains an independent brand while leveraging LMPG's operational capabilities, supply chain synergies, and innovative technologies.

Vode’s mission is not to make better lighting or even to sell more of it, although both of those are goals of ours. No, our mission is bigger than that. Our mission is one of transformation: to convert energy into its most efficient light forms, to invigorate architecture with minimalist lighting systems, and to inspire the people who work under our light to be their best.

The approach we take towards product design demonstrates a bias for utility, simplicity and sustainability. We know that our products have consequences – in manufacture, in usage and afterwards, when their useful life has ended. So we work tirelessly to reduce their impact at every stage. Vode is known for its extremely minimalistic design, small profiles that nearly disappear into architectural spaces, 370º rotating lighting rails and modularity that allows for over 8,000 standard combinations.

Vode has been used in over 10,000 projects worldwide, including museums, office spaces, convention centers and university libraries. Vode's systems light hundreds of LEED-qualified buildings, as well as the corporate offices of Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, AirBnB, Nickelodeon and Nike.
