Heritage.
Established in Chesterfield in 1987, Northern Lights started as a family business designing and hand-crafting products from stained glass with a small team of skilled artisans. We’ve come a long way since then, establishing ourselves as a global leader in bespoke lighting manufacture, servicing luxury hospitality, residential and marine projects over the past 35+ years.

With design & manufacture under one roof in our 38,000 square foot facility, we exercise unprecedented control and consistent quality. We've also gained Manufacturer Top 100 status two years running.
Our focus on metal fabrication, glass techniques, and a range of finishes opens up a world of creative possibilities, pushing the boundaries of manufacturing to deliver truly unique lighting.
