More About Us

Lighting by The L.C. Doane Company has withstood the worst environments and toughest abuse onboard U.S. naval vessels since 1947. Engineering and manufacturing quality heavy-duty fixtures, we set the standards for today’s submarine and surface ship lighting. Navy fixtures are First Article qualified for shock, vibration, closure, noise, lumen maintenance, and other conditions for combat readiness.

Utilizing our experience with shipboard lighting, we have been building tough, reliable lights for other demanding environments including industrial, correctional, institutional, and commercial marine – setting new records in durability and performance. Everything we engineer and manufacture from our standard product line or a custom, specialty design goes through rigorous testing.

As a total product manufacturer from fabrication through finished assembly, L.C. Doane controls the entire process of creating solutions for your lighting needs. Working in cold-rolled steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, we use gas tungsten arc with pulse arc fusion welding methods for the cleanest, most consistent welds possible on all seams. All parts are polyester powder coated in-house after fabrication, ensuring smooth edges and a high-quality, long-lasting fixture.

The L.C. Doane Lifetime Warranty

At L.C. Doane, we understand the need for the reliability of lighting products in a variety of demanding environments. We will repair or replace any High Abuse or Vandal Resistant fixture (when installed according to our instructions) for the life of the original installation if the fixture should fail due to physical abuse.
