Engineering pedigree

Before the inception of Happy's, its founders launched MaxStream in 1999, later acquired by Digi (NASDAQ: DGII) in 2006. At MaxStream they developed the pioneering XBee product line, which set a new standard for flexibility in IoT application development and is now integral to applications from industrial sensing and smart agriculture to smart-city lighting. That followed their tenure at Advantage Controls, engaging in extensive data-acquisition projects with NASA.

Armed with decades of experience in electrical hardware manufacturing and mechanical engineering, the Happy's leadership team brings unparalleled expertise – which is why the lights, controller and app are all designed and manufactured in-house.

Light is life. Live brighter.

Illuminating the people, places and moments that matter most. Light transforms our homes into places of warmth and beauty – which is why we make it accessible, customizable, reliable, innovative and simple.

Our name

Happy's Lighting is named after the comb jelly, a beautiful invertebrate with eight rows of tiny combs that diffract light to produce a shimmering rainbow effect as it swims through the ocean.
