The L.C. Doane Company

Lighting by The L.C. Doane Company has withstood the worst environments and toughest abuse onboard U.S. naval vessels since 1947. Engineering and manufacturing quality heavy-duty fixtures, we set the standards for today’s submarine and surface ship lighting. Navy fixtures are First Article qualified for shock, vibration, closure, noise, lumen maintenance and other conditions for combat readiness.

Utilizing our experience with shipboard lighting we have been building tough, reliable lights for other demanding environments including industrial, correctional, institutional, and commercial marine – setting new records in durability and performance. Everything we engineer and manufacture, whether from our standard product line or a custom, specialty design goes through rigorous testing.

As a total product manufacturer from fabrication through finished assembly – L.C. Doane controls the entire process of creating solutions for your lighting needs. Working in cold rolled steel, aluminum and stainless steel, we use gas tungsten arc with pulse arc fusion welding methods for the cleanest, most consistent welds possible on all seams. All parts are polyester powder coated in-house after fabrication, ensuring smooth edges and a high-quality, long-lasting fixture.
