Lighting the Way Forward
Since its founding in 1977, Hossley Lighting and Power Solutions (HLP Solutions) has grown from a modest lighting agency in Dallas into a regional leader in the architectural lighting industry. Guided by core values of trust, transparency, and innovation, HLP Solutions has steadily expanded its reach and influence across the southern United States. Today, under the leadership of Managing Principal and CEO Al Near, the employee-owned company continues to thrive by staying true to its commitment to client satisfaction and cutting-edge lighting solutions. In a recent interview with Built America Magazine, Al Near and Outside Specification Sales expert Michael Peterson, shared the company’s journey, its emphasis on collaboration, and how innovation fuels their passion for creating value in every project. A Legacy of Trust and Employee Ownership Hossley Lighting and Power Solutions was founded by Danny Hossley, and from the very beginning, the company was driven by a mission to improve lighting environments in ways that add value to clients. That mission remains at the heart of Hossley’s success more than four decades later. "What inspired our company originally was a passion for lighting environments in a way that adds value to the client," said Al Near.
"Our core values over the years have centered on transparency and trustworthiness throughout the design and construction process." One of the defining moments in Hossley’s history came in 1997, when it became employee-owned, a strategic move that deepened the company’s dedication to its mission. "Employee ownership ensures that every employee of the company is aligned with our values," Al explained. "It’s more than just a job for us—everyone here has a personal investment in delivering the best possible results for our clients." From its origins in Dallas, HLP Solutions has expanded across Texas and beyond, opening offices in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Lubbock, and additional offices throughout Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Alabama. Despite its growth, the company has maintained its personalized, community-centered approach, which has been critical to its long-term success.
