Our Story

Crafting Light, Building Trust

Founded in 2012 by Michael Tessen, GlowGrid Lighting Solutions began with a simple belief: every commercial space deserves lighting that works as hard as the people in it. What started as a two-person operation in Austin has grown into a trusted statewide provider of architectural LED grid systems.

We combine deep technical expertise with a design-first approach. Our team handles everything from initial photometric analysis and layout design through to procurement, installation, and ongoing maintenance — ensuring your lighting infrastructure is efficient, code-compliant, and visually stunning.

Whether you're outfitting a 50,000-square-foot corporate headquarters or a boutique retail space, we treat every project with the same rigor and care. Our clients stay with us because we deliver measurable results: lower utility bills, happier employees, and spaces that shine.

What We Do

Comprehensive Lighting Solutions

From design to installation to maintenance, we cover every aspect of commercial LED grid lighting.

Architectural LED Grid Design

Custom-designed suspended and recessed LED grid systems tailored to your floor plan. We optimize fixture placement, color temperature, and lux levels using advanced photometric modeling software, ensuring uniform illumination that meets IESNA standards.

  • ✓ Suspended linear grids
  • ✓ Recessed troffer layouts
  • ✓ Photometric analysis

Smart Lighting Integration

Bring your lighting into the IoT age. We deploy intelligent control systems — occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, centralized dashboards, and scheduling — that reduce energy consumption and give facility managers granular control across every zone.

  • ✓ Occupancy & daylight sensors
  • ✓ Centralized control dashboards
  • ✓ BACnet & DALI protocol support

Energy-Efficient Retrofitting

Upgrade outdated fluorescent or HID systems to high-efficiency LED grids with minimal disruption to your operations. We manage the full retrofit lifecycle — audit, disposal of old fixtures, rebate paperwork, and commissioning — so you start saving immediately.

  • ✓ Full system audits
  • ✓ Utility rebate assistance
  • ✓ Eco-friendly disposal

GlowGrid completely overhauled the lighting in our Dallas corporate office. The new LED grid system is not only brighter and more even, but our monthly electricity bill dropped nearly 40%. Their team was professional from start to finish.

We hired GlowGrid for a smart lighting retrofit across three retail locations. The centralized control dashboard is a game-changer — we can adjust brightness and schedules from a single pane. Installation was fast and clean. Highly recommended.

As an architect, I've collaborated with GlowGrid on multiple projects. Their photometric designs are meticulous, and they always find creative ways to integrate lighting grids that complement the overall design rather than fight it. A true partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of commercial spaces do you service?
We work across a broad spectrum of commercial environments: corporate offices, retail stores, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, warehouses, hospitality venues, and industrial plants. Our team assesses each space individually to recommend the optimal grid configuration, whether it's a suspended linear grid for an open-plan office or high-bay LED fixtures for a distribution center. We serve projects ranging from 1,000 to over 100,000 square feet.
How much energy savings can LED grid lighting provide?
Most clients see a 35% to 55% reduction in lighting-related energy costs after switching from fluorescent or HID systems to our LED grid solutions. Actual savings depend on factors like existing fixture types, ceiling height, daily operating hours, and whether smart controls are deployed. During our free energy audit, we provide a detailed ROI projection based on your specific facility data and local utility rates. Many projects achieve full payback within 18 to 36 months.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer three tiers of maintenance plans: Basic (annual inspection and cleaning), Standard (semi-annual visits plus priority support), and Premium (quarterly visits, 24/7 emergency response, and proactive component replacement). All plans include remote monitoring of smart-connected systems so we can often identify and resolve issues before you notice them. Maintenance contracts also extend the warranty on installed fixtures.
What is the typical installation timeline for a retrofit?
Timelines vary by project scope. A small office retrofit (under 5,000 sq ft) typically takes 3 to 5 business days. Medium commercial floors (5,000–20,000 sq ft) run about 2 to 3 weeks. Large-scale projects are phased to minimize operational disruption, and we provide a detailed schedule during the proposal phase. We also offer after-hours and weekend installation at no additional charge to avoid interfering with your business hours.
Are your lighting systems compatible with existing building management platforms?
Absolutely. Our smart lighting systems support major building automation protocols including BACnet, DALI-2, and Modbus, allowing seamless integration with platforms like Johnson Controls Metasys, Siemens Desigo, Honeywell, and Tridium Niagara. If your building uses a proprietary or legacy BMS, our engineering team will evaluate compatibility during the audit and recommend the best integration path — often via a gateway or protocol translator.
