Phil Cutting says that Commercial Lighting Systems is no different; rather than competing with cheap Chinese supply they are focused on supplying customised manufactured products. Focused on improving the quality and energy consumption of lighting in the commercial industry, the company looks for alternative services to stay competitive, such as refurbishing existing lamps to modern technologies.
