Hansen Lighting, Inc. is a privately held corporation that sells portable lighting, fixture lighting, lamps, ceiling fans, home décor items and a variety of other related products. Its national headquarters is located in the city of Orem, in the Utah Valley region of Utah.

Background
The company was founded in 1962 in Orem, Utah by Don Hansen and began as an electrical supply company known as Hansen Wholesale Electric. Don recognized the need for a top-tier service oriented lighting and electrical supply company in Utah. Business immediately began to grow and by 1966, Don needed more help. Hiring his nephew, Jeff Roberts, they grew the business significantly. Jeff and Don worked together becoming experts in everything to do with lighting fixtures and electrical components.

As time went on, Jeff Robert eventually took over ownership of Hansen Lighting. With years of lighting experience and a true passion for being on the cutting edge of technology and style, Jeff offered the people something no one else could match. Over his career, Jeff had the privilege to work on many noteworthy lighting projects, such as the Utah governor's mansion, the Provo city library, as well as the personal home lighting for some prominent Utah citizens, such as Steve Young and many of his family members, as well as the owner of the NuSkin corporation.

In 2004, Jason Petersen joined the Hansen Lighting partnership. Bringing nearly a decade of computer programming and process design experience, Jason helped turn Hansen Lighting into a company driven by process and systems. The following year, Jared Christensen (a licensed professional engineer) joined the team. Moving the store to a new location at 922 North and 1430 West, in Orem, allowing for more growth yet again. By 2010, Hansen Lighting would grow to become the number one lighting provider for new construction in Utah. Over the years, Hansen Lighting has been responsible for the lighting within a variety of Utah restaurants, hotels, local businesses, and has formed strong partnerships with notable home builders, such as Edge Homes, Hard Rock Homes, and Flagship Homes.

As technology continued to evolve, Jason Petersen recognized the significant benefits that a digital product catalog system could provide to not only Hansen Lighting, but the entire lighting industry. In 2009, Jason founded XOLogic, Corp, a technology company focused on making lighting showrooms more profitable by creating tools and systems that showrooms owners can use to increase traffic, conversion, and sales efficiency while also improving margins and lowering costs. Hansen Lighting has benefited greatly from adopting this core system into their company, as have several hundred other showrooms across the country. The combination of new technology, improved processes, and a keen focus on serving customers while maintaining the core values that set Hansen Lighting apart all those years ago continues to make Hansen Lighting the top choice when it comes to lighting.
