About Colorbeam

Where technology and science meet.

Delivering the highest quality light — with the features and benefits that meet both wellness and luxury lighting requirements.

Our Story

Built on twenty-five years of expertise.

It's no longer just about what a fixture looks like — it's about what we can do with the light. Founded in 2016 by Michael Teolis and Maurizio Gaudio, Colorbeam Lighting is revolutionizing the architectural lighting industry by transitioning homes and commercial spaces to a low-voltage infrastructure that delivers better, healthier, and more productive light. As long-standing owner-operators of a low-voltage audio-visual company in Montreal, Mike and Maurizio recognized that the emergence of LED technology presented a unique opportunity — to eliminate traditional 120V wiring over Romex and replace it with a cleaner 48V DC system, powering fixtures over a single CAT6 network cable.

It all started with redefining power requirements.

In doing so, Colorbeam essentially created a new market opportunity — enabling AV and low-voltage technology integrators to enter the architectural lighting space. Today, the company works with resellers of all types across North America, and continues to expand its relationships with professional specifiers, healthy home builders, and wellness consultants.

Leading Innovations

A decade of advancement. And we're just getting started.

"Over its ten-year existence, Colorbeam has already delivered tremendous product and technology advancements that are leading the way toward better light."

Infrastructure

Rack-mounted distribution

The low-voltage infrastructure has evolved from wall-mounted DIN rail modules to a vertical 1U rack-mounted system — dramatically reducing installation time, eliminating the need for premium wall space, and simplifying connectivity across the whole home.

Intelligence

Gen 3 GATEway Processor

Developed in conjunction with leading control and keypad manufacturers, the third-generation patented GATEway DMX processor has significantly reduced programming time while delivering an outstanding end-user experience.

Biology

The HEKA™ Chipset

Colorbeam's proprietary, science-backed HEKA LED chipset delivers the precise spectral specifications required for true circadian rhythm lighting applications — engineered at the wavelength level.

What's Next

Colorbeam continues to innovate.

New products, new integrations, and new applications are continuously in development — driven by the same first-principles thinking that built everything before it.
