Quick service, love it
“As a general contractor in St. Louis, I’ve been getting our lighting from Diode Direct for several projects. Their products and service are top notch, they've delivered photometrics and the fixtures all in the same day for a project. Their local same-day delivery service is a game-changer!”

Quality company and products
"Diode Direct has been our go-to supplier for all our lighting needs. Their wide range of products and prompt delivery service have never failed us. It’s refreshing to see a company that values quality and customer service as much as we do."

Profitability found in lighting
“As a commercial developer, we’re always looking for cost-effective solutions. They source their high quality lights from the same manufacturers as big brands, but at a fraction of the cost. Switching to Diode Direct has significantly reduced our project costs without compromising on quality.”
