Two Legacies, One Platform: France and Lucoled Empower U.S. Sign Companies to Illuminate with Confidence

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

As the industry consolidates around single-source suppliers, France Lighting Solutions and Lucoled are pairing decades of proven expertise into one complete lighting platform for sign, display, and graphic shops across the United States.

 

SPRING HILL, TN — August 10, 2026, 2026 — France Lighting Solutions and Lucoled have announced a strategic U.S. partnership pairing two specialists to create a single, co-branded solution. France brings 95+ years of power solutions quality, dependability, steadfastness, and a legacy that traces back to the neon era. Lucoled brings a reputation as a leading innovator in precision lighting for signage and architectural accents, trusted by major brands and programs across 80 countries. Together, they’re giving sign shops, display shops, and graphic shops across the United States a complete lighting platform spanning channel letter cabinets, monuments, architectural accents, architectural lighting, and POP display, from driver to diode.

 

The move comes at a moment when the sign lighting supply base is consolidating fast. France and Lucoled are taking the opposite approach: two proven specialists, each doing what they do best, choosing to partner together and combine strengths. For sign companies, that means more capability without losing the choice, flexibility, and control the current state of consolidation is eroding.

 

The pairing brings together Lucoled’s LED technology, whose founder played a key role in the development of the prismatic lens, matched with France’s time-tested power solutions. Through an in-depth vetting process, each brand has kept the products that best serve the sign industry and swapped out others for a better option that protected quality and the sign companies’ margins. The result is a single, integrated lineup where power and light are engineered to work together, not just sold side by side.

 

The partnership made its debut at MSSA’s SignConnexion trade show in Huntsville, AL, with a dedicated exhibit showcasing the combined lineup, and continued its rollout at the Tri-State Sign Expo in Quapaw, OK.

 

“The pace of innovation in sign, display, and architectural lighting demanded a complete product lineup that’s on the cutting edge,” says Kyle Gilbreth, General Manager, France Lighting Solutions, a Marmon Power Systems company. “This partnership does exactly that — allowing each team to focus on its area of expertise while collaborating on new innovations that push precision lighting control forward.”

 

“France’s power systems and controls have proven themselves across industries far beyond signage,” says Jurjen Van Der Honing, Founder, Lucoled. “That’s the kind of foundation we wanted behind our lighting — one built on decades of dependability. Together, we can bring sign, display, and graphics companies a level of precision control the industry hasn’t seen.”

 

“It’s not often that two world-class brands come together to serve an industry at a greater level together than they ever could apart,” says Scott Cutcher, Founder and Industry Advisor, Kōr Brand Group. “One brand is known for dependable power systems dating back to the neon era, with innovative controls pioneered in parallel industries. The other is trusted to illuminate brands for major organizations across 80+ countries, including several international programs. Kōr Brand Group is privileged to bring this collaborative co-brand to the United States.”
