About Hinkley Lighting

A Legacy of Illumination

For nearly a century, Hinkley Lighting has been at the forefront of the lighting industry, illuminating homes and spaces with its commitment to quality and innovation. Founded by Phil R. Hinkley in Cleveland, Ohio, the company began as a modest operation focused on residential outdoor lanterns. Hinkley's journey from its humble beginnings to becoming a beacon in the lighting industry is marked by a steadfast commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and innovation.

A Family's Vision

The narrative of Hinkley Lighting took a significant turn in the mid-1930s. Phil Hinkley, battling tuberculosis, sold half of the company to Stanley Wiedemer. Following Phil Hinkley's passing in 1937, Stanley took full ownership, laying the foundation for the Wiedemer family's long-standing stewardship of the company. Under the Wiedemer's guidance, particularly Richard “Rick” Wiedemer who joined in 1969, Hinkley Lighting saw unprecedented growth and diversification in its product offerings.

A Modern Icon

Today, Hinkley Lighting is much more than just a lighting company. It represents a fusion of tradition and innovation, led by the third and fourth generations of the Wiedemer family. Jess Wiedemer, assuming the role of President in 2015, has continued the company's trajectory of growth, while maintaining the core values that have been its foundation. This era has seen Hinkley expand its product lines and embrace technological advancements, all while staying true to its roots in quality and design.
