Company Profile

About Our Founder

The LED lighting market has expanded dramatically in recent years, with countless manufacturers offering subpar or overpriced products.  GLE LED is positioned to navigate this complicated, oversaturated market to locate the best products in a way that few other American distributors can match.  Dr. Zhang has partnered with a former colleague running a large electronic components exporting company in Shenzhen, China.  Through this partnership, GLE has gained access to a dynamic sourcing network in the region.  We utilize their resources for product evaluation, quality control testing, warehousing, and logistics support in China, overseen by frequent visits by the GLE technical staff.  When the product arrives in Michigan, GLE personnel perform another wave of quality testing, ensuring we only offer the best products.

GLE sales staff members are well-versed on the unique benefits of each product line.  We work diligently, passionately, and with integrity to satisfy our customers' specific lighting needs with the best solution available.  GLE can compete on price with the major distribution centers while offering service carefully catered to individual project specifications and customer concerns.  We at Great Lakes Electric are confident that we can bring Midwest customers the highest quality LED lighting options with top-notch service to match.

All LED lighting products we offer (whether GLE branded or our suppliers’ brands) are certified by 3rd party standards (UL, DLC, EnergyStar, etc.).  These ratings make GLE’s product line eligible for standard energy efficiency rebate programs from utility companies.
