XXECIEL vs. industry standard, by the numbers that move a project.

Twelve metrics, one ledger. Every figure below is from a 2024 source — internal shipment data, DesignIntelligence survey, or a third-party registry — not a marketing approximation.

Every SKU ships with every file a specifier needs, included.

The photometric lab sits 200 feet from the assembly line. A fixture does not ship until its .ies, .ldt, Revit RFA, and DIALux plugin are in the same packet — and that packet is free to any specifier, no registration wall, no email gate.

  • .ies Native photometric, compatible with every major lighting design software
  • .ldt Eulumdat format for European and Canadian workflows
  • RFA Native Revit family with Type catalog and parameters
  • DIALux Plugin fixture profile, drag-and-drop into any project
  • BIM IFC export for ARCHICAD, Vectorworks, Rhino workflows
  • PDF Cut sheet with TM-30 color metrics, UGR, and efficacy

142,000 square feet. One owner. Eighteen years.

XXECIEL is a family-owned architectural lighting manufacturer, operated from a single facility in High Point, North Carolina, since 2007. There is no private equity, no quarterly layoff cycle, and no holding company between your project coordinator and the people who built your luminaire.

One hundred eighty employees work under the same roof — design engineers, photometric lab technicians, assembly leads, project coordinators, and a service team that fields every RFI on every active project. The building is 142,000 square feet of CNC machining, powder coating, board stuffing, and final photometric verification, on a single campus you can drive to.

This matters on a 24-month construction schedule. It matters more on a 36-month one. When the GC changes a ceiling type in month 14, you are not asking a call-center queue for a re-cut — you are emailing the same coordinator who quoted the original spec, who pulls a fixture off the live production line, and re-issues a submittal in ten business days.
