The Metal Halide Story
Career Opportunity

 
 

20 Years of Breaking New Ground
Venture Lighting, the fastest growing metal halide lighting company in the world, is the only one concentrated on this technology. Since 1983, we've created a constant stream of new systems for our customers. Our range of optimized lamps and ballasts, including the revolutionary Uni-Form® pulse start system, has grown to encompass lamp wattages 50 to 2,000. This unique focus offers you peak performance lighting solutions.

Our Solon, Ohio headquarters includes a state-of-the-art development and new products manufacturing center to support our leadership in originating new systems. The company is part of Advanced Lighting Technologies Inc. (ADLT) Our sister companies feature complementary capabilities: APL Engineered Materials (APL) is a strategic supplier of halides, amalgams and other components to the lighting industry. Deposition Sciences, Inc. (DSI) is a leader in sophisticated thin film coatings and deposition systems to the lighting industry.

Global Perspective
Venture maintains a worldwide network of low cost, lean manufacturing facilities. Quality is sustained through control systems constructed to meet ISO 9001 standards. Our facility in India, the largest metal halide plant in the Pacific Rim, produces lamps and ballasts. Our joint venture in China gives us a presence in one of the largest potential markets in the world.

The Metal Halide Innovator
Applying a systems approach to metal halide development has generated a number of breakthrough innovations available only in Venture lamps and ballasts. Uni-Form® pulse start systems start with our exclusive tipless formed body arc tube, sculpted to follow the actual shape of the light-producing arc. Nothing else can match the thermal profile of this design. Patented weldless lamp mount construction is stronger than standard welds.

Our line of both magnetic and electronic Opti-Wave™ ballasts improve power control, reduce ballast noise and have lower current crest factors. The benefits of our advanced technology include more light for less energy, improved color uniformity, significantly longer lamp life, quieter operation and continuous dimming capabilities.
