Heavy-Duty Lamps for Healthcare, Education & Multihousing

The right lamp tells a resident someone thought about them.

We build lamps for the rooms people live in but didn't get to design, places that deserve more than an afterthought. Every lamp is made to order in Milwaukee, built to hold up for years, and designed to make a space feel like it belongs to someone.

10-year warranty. Fully customizable. Ships from Milwaukee.

JES Lamp Series

Three series. Each purpose-built for the demands of multihousing environments.

Five generations.
One standard.

In 1911, William James Schumaker started an industrial task lighting company in Milwaukee. His son pivoted to medical exam lamps. His grandson expanded into nursing home lighting. Five generations later, the family is still here, still in Milwaukee, still building lamps in-house, now for the multihousing environments that need them most.
