ABOUT US
JT Roselle Lighting was founded in 2008 by Chief Executive Officer Jim Roselle. He and his father, Wallace Roselle, originally formed JDC Lighting in 1986 operating out of their home on Long Island. Within three short years they became recognized and respected throughout the New York City area. Their company pioneered the development strategy of working with General Contractors focusing on major interior lighting. As they perfected this revolutionary approach into an artform, they emerged as New York City’s largest lighting supplier.
The company enjoyed market dominance in NYC from 1991 through 2001, while Jim simultaneously joined forces with Joseph Mastromonaco and Richard Corbin to establish sister company, JDC Power Systems, currently one of the largest suppliers of data center power equipment in the United States.
The attention to detail, friendly reliable service, and exceptional customer service has earned JT Roselle Lighting a stable of marquee brand satisfied customers for the past 34 years. The entire team is a family of professionals with an average of 30 years’ experience working together, a fact that is truly unique in the commercial lighting industry.
