With a lighting retail journey that began more than 100 years ago (1924) in New Jersey, Capitol Lighting has seven retail locations — three in New Jersey, four in Southeast Florida and an online presence. It runs its e-commerce site under 1800lighting.com.
This year, the lighting retail giant’s Boca Raton, Fla., location was named a finalist in the 2026 ARTS Awards in the Lighting Showroom/East category. This is the seventh time Capitol Lighting has been nominated for an ARTS Award in the past 22 years. It has been named a 2026 Retail Star by Home Accents Today.
Over its century-long tenure, this fourth-generation-owned lighting retailer has illuminated more than 1 million homes and businesses with its expansive world-class lighting selection. Capitol Lighting rounds out its extensive lighting assortment with decor items such as mirrors, artwork, bathroom vanities and hardware, and accent furniture to ensure it meets its customers’ needs. In the Boca Raton showroom, customers laud Capitol Lighting’s experienced and attentive sales staff, willingness to educate its customers, competitive pricing and broad selection.
In 2024, Capitol Lighting acquired the Bellacor home decor brand and its associated digital assets.
“We are thrilled to welcome Bellacor’s retail and professional customers into the Capitol Lighting family,” said Ken Lebersfeld, CEO of Capitol Lighting at the time of the acquisition. “This acquisition is a significant milestone that allows us to support and expand Bellacor’s loyal customer base while offering an even broader selection of products and an improved digital experience. We are dedicated to maintaining the high standards that Bellacor’s customers expect and enhancing their overall shopping journey.”
