Johnson Lexus Durham is more than a showroom, it’s a reflection of Lexus' precision-driven identity. From the earliest design phases, the lighting was considered an essential part of how customers would engage with the space and the vehicles inside it.
Specialty Lighting Industries was brought in to provide custom-engineered lighting that aligned with Lexus’ high standards. Our Jazz fixtures were designed to exacting specifications, with custom lengths, angles, multi-color blends, and precision lenses. Our goal wasn’t just to provide illumination, but also clarity, depth, and visual truth. With a clean 4000K color temperature and 90+ CRI, the lighting helped every vehicle look refined, polished, and true to form.
To complement the Jazz system, we also provided our Graffiti fixtures, adding architectural definition and visual balance. These accents brought structure to open areas while enhancing the modern design language of the space.

View Lexus Project GalleryWhen Peter Marino Architects embarked on the four year transformation of the 100,000 square foot Tiffany & Co flagship store in New York, the goal was to create an experience to carry the luxury brand well into the late 21st century. By deploying exquisite materials with a jeweler’s attention to detail, a timeless and transformative architecture was designed to house their unique collection of fine art and extravagant wares.
Lighting designers Tillotson Design Associates envisioned the lighting for the project and selected Specialty’s Mural linear wallwash fixture with a custom, highly polished aluminum finish to light art panel reliefs located throughout the store.
As local manufacturers, we are proud that our fixtures will be part of such an iconic space for years to come.
View Tiffany & Co Project GalleryThe project at 1 Vanderbilt Avenue in NYC required lighting to fit between terracotta barrel vaults in the lobby and public areas. The lights needed to illuminate the space but not compete with the visual statement of the Terracotta vaults. Thus, the VanDer fixture was born.

The lobby at 301 Hillsborough in Raleigh, North Carolina needed to carry the linear theme into the ceiling. CBBLD selected the Mosaic from Specialty. The mitered 4 corner flangeless knife edge pocket fixture seemly integrates with the ceiling. A strip light deployed in the white housing casts a subtle glow creating a linear luminous element. White track heads virtually disappear within the pocket providing the illumination within the space. Single 4-sided knife edge Mosaic fixtures were used to light the feature wall.
