Not notable. The organization is mentioned in two Chicago Tribune articles. Other citations go to press releases or, in one case, to the website of an architect. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 23:06, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - considering its presentation along with Lightology, this appears to be advertising.--Rpclod (talk) 00:04, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Even if they were notable, the article would have to be completely re-written to remove the advert problems. CorporateM (Talk) 21:48, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to Gregory Kay - between the three subjects (Lightology, Tech Lighting, and Gregory Kay) there does appear to be some notability, but not enough for three articles. Normally when we discount "local" sources, we are talking about small-town newspapers, not something like the Chicago Tribune.   The reason is that such papers are indiscriminate - they literally cover all businesses within the town at some point.  The Tribune (and other Chicago-based sources) is a different story entirely.  It most certainly does not cover every business and in depth coverage by the publication of a Chicago business carries implication of notability as in depth coverage of any other subject would.  Additionally, there are multiple trade publications covering some combination of Lightology/Tech Lighting/Gregory Kay in depth, and trade publications that meet the RS guidelines (e.g. have editorial control) are perfectly valid reliable, secondary sources.  Thus, notability has been established by indepth coverage both locally and in trade publications.  However 3 articles are overkill.  The most natural place to cover all 3 subjects in one article is Gregory Kay.  Thus, I am suggesting all three be merged together at that title and will volunteer to do so (and clean up promotional language) if the AfD consensus accepts the idea. --ThaddeusB (talk) 17:46, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
