FTS Lighting Services

Founded in the late 1940s by Dorothy and Bernard Patton as Fluorescent Tube Service and Exchange Company, our family-owned and operated business has evolved into a leading provider of lighting, recycling, and energy solutions. Our journey began with Bernard's innovative invention - a rejuvenation machine capable of restoring old fluorescent light bulbs to working condition, a feat considered remarkable at the time. This groundbreaking idea propelled the company's growth, capturing the attention of businesses across Los Angeles and establishing a strong foundation for future success.

Dorothy Patton, a visionary in her own right, took the reins of the company's operations in the 1950s, leading and managing the business until 1979. In that year, following a period of declining health, she entrusted the company's leadership to her granddaughter, Michele Davidson, marking a new chapter in the family legacy.

Today, FTS Lighting Services continues to build upon the solid foundation established by its founders, offering a comprehensive range of high-quality products and services. We specialize in providing energy-efficient and environmentally friendly lighting solutions, including a diverse selection of electrical supplies sourced from over 200 reputable manufacturers. Our extensive inventory caters to a wide array of needs, encompassing landscape lighting, interior and exterior lighting, general lighting, motion controls and sensors, and much more.
