Jeff Lazar and Jim Hesterly have launched a new hospitality lighting company, Meadow Lighting, with Ken Koneck as vice president. 

Meadow Lighting is positioned to deliver guestroom table and floor lamp portables, as well as hardwired fixtures⎯⎯including wall-mounted sconces and small hanging fixtures for lodging. Initially, most of Meadow Lighting’s production will be based in China, but the long-term goal of the company is to bring as much production as possible back to the U.S.
Meadow Lighting has employees permanently housed in its factories, including full-time employees in China. All products made in China will flow through Meadow Lighting’s U.S. factory for inspection prior to shipping. Providing sustainable solutions including LED bulbs, dimmers, and recycled materials is also a goal for Meadow Lighting.
In addition to Koneck, who comes to the table with ten years’ experience in marketing and sales from Valley Forge Fabrics, Meadow Lighting has hired a team of dedicated employees with hospitality lighting experience. 

”We listened to our customers who told us, if you are going to do this, you have to be better. We must be superior to all other players in our space. Ken and I have the right plans in place to do this,” says Hesterly.
