 Lighting Your Way. Simple by Design. 

RAB Design Lighting Inc. is a leading Canadian-owned designer, manufacturer, and supplier of commercial and industrial LED lighting and controls. For over 75 years, we’ve built our reputation on one principle: making lighting simpler for the people who rely on it. Trusted by electrical professionals across North America. Built for the job, built for the people who do it. 

Westburne Partnership Story 

RAB DESIGN and Westburne share more than 75 years of history, to the days when our companies were known as RAB Electric Mfg. Co. and Macdonald-Westburne Electric Ltd. It is a partnership built on trust, quality, and a shared commitment to the people who power Canada every day. We grew up together through every generation of lighting technology, from mercury vapour to LED, always focused on serving the trade. Our shared history isn’t just backstory; it’s the foundation of a relationship built on trust, reliability, and the ease of doing business that our teams and our customers have come to count on.

“RAB Design Lighting’s partnership with Westburne is one of the most enduring in our history. It’s a foundation built on trust, a shared commitment to Canadian contractors, and a simple truth: when you work together for over 75 years, you stop thinking about doing business and start thinking about building something special together.” – David Beron, President of RAB Design Lighting

Historical Asset

The RAB Design Lighting VXJ junction box has been in production for over 75 years and is still widely used today. Contractors still refer to this as “The RAB Box”. 

Long-Term Vision 

The future of the electrical industry is smarter, greener, more connected, and RAB Design Lighting and Westburne are building it together. From LED controls to energy management, our shared focus on simple, installer-first solutions positions both companies to lead through the next generation of change, serving the trade the same way we always have: with products contractors can count on and a partnership that makes it easy.

Powering the Next Generation

At RAB Design Lighting, we believe that investing in the next generation of skilled tradespeople is one of the most important things our industry can do. The people who build, wire, and light Canada deserve the best tools, the best support, and partners they can count on.
