About Feit Electric

Feit Electric supports professional lighting decisions with helpful, retrofit-savvy, and practical discipline.

Headquartered in Pico Rivera, California since 1978, Feit Electric grew from a family bulb supplier into one of the largest LED retrofit brands stocked across Costco, The Home Depot and Lowe's. The about-us page exists for property managers, electrical contractors, and DIY homeowners who want to know who actually stands behind the A19, BR30 and PAR38 bulbs in their cart.

Founder Story / narrative with pullquote

From a single hardware-store SKU to a household LED label

Founder Leib Feit started the company packaging incandescents for neighborhood hardware stores; today the third-generation team ships ENERGY STAR certified A19, BR30, PAR38, candelabra E12 and Edison ST19 lamps to thousands of US retail doors plus the orange and blue big-box aisles. The story matters because every retrofit kit, security flood and smart Matter bulb you pick off a Costco end-cap traces back to the same Pico Rivera engineering bench testing CRI, CCT consistency and L70 lifetime against the photometric data printed on the carton.

1978

Founded in Los Angeles County packaging incandescent A19 and globe lamps for independent hardware stores up and down the West Coast.

2003

Pivoted toward CFL and early LED retrofits, landing the first national Costco buy on a 4-pack 60W-equivalent twist program.

2014

ENERGY STAR certifications expanded across the entire household lineup — A19, BR30, PAR38, candelabra E12 and globe G25.

Today

Stocked at Costco, The Home Depot and Lowe's, with smart Matter bulbs that pair to HomeKit, Alexa and Google Home with no separate hub.

Values / icon row horizontal

What we test for so the box on the shelf actually delivers

Three values guide the spec sheet: honest equivalencies (a 60W replacement A19 must hit 800 lumens, a 65W BR30 must clear 650 lumens), accessibility for the weekend installer (every base type — E26, E12, GU24, GU10 — labeled in plain English with rebate-eligible markings), and rebate program transparency so utility incentives from PG&E, Con Edison, ComEd, Duke and TVA pull through cleanly. Color quality stays in the conversation too, with CRI 90+ Enhance series for kitchens and bathrooms and 2700K-to-5000K CCT-tunable bulbs for bedrooms and garages.

Honest lumens

Every wattage equivalent on the carton — 40W, 60W, 75W, 100W — maps to a measured lumen output you can verify against the Lighting Facts label.

Accessible price

Multipack pricing on Costco end-caps and big-box aisles brings the per-bulb cost low enough that DIY homeowners can swap a whole house in one afternoon.

Color quality

CRI 90+ Enhance series across A19, BR30 and PAR38 keeps skin tones, food, and merchandise looking right under 2700K, 3000K, 4000K and 5000K options.

Rebate-ready

ENERGY STAR markings and Lighting Facts panels are sized to drop straight into PG&E, Con Edison, ComEd, Duke and TVA rebate submission forms.

Community Impact / image text alternating

Where the bulbs end up — apartments, garages, grow tents, storefronts

Community impact, for a retail-first LED brand, looks like multi-family housing managers swapping 200 hallway BR30 cans in one weekend, electrical contractors dropping 9W-equivalent retrofit kits into 1980s-era 6-inch recessed housings, hobby growers running our LED grow A19 and BR30 over a 2x4 grow tent, and homeowners pairing dusk-to-dawn security floods with a Ring or Wyze camera over the driveway. The shared thread is accessible pricing on shelves you already visit, not bid-only commercial channels.

Property managers

Multi-family hallway and stairwell BR30 swaps that turn weekly bulb-change tickets into a twice-a-year inspection walk.

Electrical contractors

4-inch and 6-inch retrofit downlight kits that drop into existing IC and non-IC housings with a single twist-lock connector.

DIY homeowners

Whole-house A19 and candelabra E12 multipacks plus smart WiFi and Matter bulbs that pair to phones in under two minutes.

Hobby growers

Full-spectrum LED grow A19, BR30 and PAR38 sized for 2x2, 2x4 and 4x4 indoor tents — plug into any standard E26 socket.
