Victoria, BC – First Light Technologies is pleased to be listed in the inaugural Globe and Mail Report on Business ranking of Canada’s Top Growing Companies

“Being one of Canada’s top growing companies is a great confirmation that our approach to solar lighting is resonating with our customers,” said First Light Technologies CEO Sean Bourquin. “Our team does an amazing job and this recognition  drives us to continue our mission to make First Light solar lighting the clear choice when it comes to lighting outdoor community spaces.”

Unmatched Solar Lighting

First Light’s strong growth comes as the company has been at the forefront of solar lighting for over 10 years. The company is a pioneer in self-contained solar bollards and light fixtures. The approach offers major advantages to customers including a much simpler installation, minimal visual profile and overall cost savings of typically  50% or more when compared to wired lighting. 

As part of its mission for better, simpler solar lighting, First Light has released a number of major improvements recently to further improve the simplicity and performance of its products, including enhancements to its IPL architectural solar light, SCL commercial area light and its PLB architectural solar bollard.
