Celebrating 80 Years of Lighting Excellence.
Since 1946, Mercury Lighting has proudly served the lighting industry as one of the nation’s largest independent manufacturers. Over the past eighty years, Mercury has grown into a fully integrated manufacturer specializing in high-quality, specification-grade LED products, designed and built from start to finish using cutting-edge technology. At Mercury, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance and reliability. Our products are engineered with precision, featuring robust aluminum extrusions, proprietary joiner systems, and versatile optics and mounting options that ensure both aesthetic excellence and long-term durability. Mercury products are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States. Our focus on service ensures fast lead times, dependable delivery, and ongoing support for specifiers, contractors, and end users alike.
Behind every project is a dedicated team that believes in doing things the right way. General Manager Raul Guevara leads Mercury with a hands-on, people-first approach, guiding day-to-day operations and long-term vision. Our Inside Sales Department is led by Rose Priori, who oversees project management, customer service, sales coordination, and quotations, serving as a central point of connection to ensure projects move smoothly from concept to completion. Sandy Smith and Michele Amezquita support inside sales, managing order processing, customer communication, and the critical details that keep projects on track and expectations aligned. Joe DiBernardo leads Specification Sales and Product Development, working closely with the design community and internal teams to ensure Mercury’s products meet real world application needs and evolving specifications.
In the field, our Regional Sales Managers: Carissa Cokeley (Midwest), Lou Dina (Northeast), Josh Smart (South/West), and Dayam Garcia (Southeast) serve as trusted partners to reps, specifiers, and customers, providing regional expertise and consistent support while staying closely connected to our internal team.
As Mercury moves into 2026, we are focused on building on our 80-year foundation while continuing to evolve expanding our product offerings, refining our processes, and strengthening collaboration between our internal teams and regional partners. Our goal is simple: to make it easier to work with Mercury, deliver smarter, more adaptable lighting solutions, and continue earning the trust of the people who choose us project after project.
Eighty years strong, Mercury Lighting is not just honoring its past, we’re actively shaping what comes next.
