Like all great American stories, The Light Brothers has a history rooted in hard work and innovation. Arriving from Sicily in the late 1800s, three brothers set their sights on making it in America manufacturing brass beds. Shortly after their arrival, the world was introduced to one of history’s greatest innovations: the electric lightbulb. Recognizing the significance of this new technology, the brothers pivoted their business and began manufacturing lamps and light fixtures instead. Within a few short years, their business had taken off. Just after the turn of the century, the brothers moved their growing business to Chicago.
