16500 is the Section of the Construction Specifications Institute that applies to lighting. It's not a typical lighting agency name, however 16500 is anything but a typical lighting agency.

We're involved in the marketing, specification and sale of manufacturers' products, just like other lighting reps. But that's just the beginning.

We believe that a lighting manufacturers' rep can, and should, bring more to the table than pricing and scheduling. We created 16500 to bring the highest degree of knowledge, design sensitivity, business acumen and problem solving ability to the representation process, helping turn our clients' lighting goals and visions into practical, affordable solutions.

Because this level of representation takes a team with special capabilities, you'll find the staff at 16500 to be more than you might expect... more experienced, more professional, more knowledgeable, more creative and more dedicated than perhaps any team of lighting reps you've ever encountered. (We may even be more fun, too.) And, we all share a common dedication to bringing the very highest quality service to the San Francisco Bay Area.

If you're a lighting, design, facilities, or construction professional in the Bay Area who could benefit from an unmatched level of lighting expertise and service -- and from a toolbox of some of the very finest lighting products available -- you've come to the right place.
