Allanson International: Retrofit Better with Speed, Reliability, and over 90 Years of Engineering Innovation

We’re excited to announce that we now carry lighting products from Allanson International, a trusted Canadian manufacturer with more than 90 years of engineering innovation behind them. Since 1927, Allanson has been a driving force in both the HVAC and lighting industries, designing reliable, high‑voltage electrical components and applying that same expertise to today’s most advanced LED technologies.

From their headquarters in Markham, Ontario, Allanson continues to engineer and manufacture the products they sell. That means tighter quality control, faster innovation, and lighting solutions designed to solve real problems on job sites.

• Streamlined wiring simplifies installation

• High-output, consistent LED performance

• Ideal for signage and cabinet upgrades

• Built for reliability in demanding environments

For contractors managing multi-site retrofits or ongoing service work, SpeedLamp helps reduce downtime and improve overall job efficiency.
