Our Story

I’m Paul McCain, and I commenced Diode Dynamics in 2006. Like many automobile guys, it began for me at the age of 16, when I tore aside a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon to construct a customized turbocharger. Around that time, LEDs have been simply gaining traction. I usually had a big activity in technology, so the subsequent improve was once LED accent lighting, constructed from the components packing containers at Radioshack. I bought a few kits to some friends, and I started out including extra lights to the catalog. In 2012, it used to be time to get serious, with our first fulltime region in St. Louis, Missouri. We discovered success via our product lineup, set up videos, and consumer provider insurance policies that positioned comfort first. We saved growing, including many gorgeous merchandise and employees!

However, as we grew, we stored having problems with product quality. We had commenced importing LEDs, relying on designs from overseas, like most dealers nonetheless do today. It’s a lot simpler to purchase it (and rebrand it) than to construct it! But if you prefer the fine high-quality and characteristic possible, you have to construct it yourself. As I realized greater about the merchandise and how they had been made, I determined we should do it better.

In 2014, we moved to a greater facility and employed our first engineers, permitting us to sketch and manufacture merchandise in America, totally within our control. Starting with simply one product, we rapidly elevated – first with easy LED circuit boards, then to sidemarker lamps, and eventually to aggregate lamps and off-road lighting. We had some bumps alongside the way, however we saved pushing forward, making heavy investments to add special competencies that would permit us to produce the high-quality lighting fixtures merchandise possible. That consists of a mild tunnel to measure beam patterns, environmental check tools to make certain our merchandise last, and the modern optical and electrical layout software program to create lights that simply performs better.

It’s been a lengthy avenue over the remaining decade, however we now have unique, centered capabilities, alongside with our lasting car passion. We are the greatest specialty-application aftermarket lights producer in the United States, and we are honored to additionally produce LED aspects for some incredible car brands. I’m dedicated to pushing it further, so we can make greater special and thrilling lighting fixtures products, incorporating the most modern factors and materials. It’s my aim to supply fanatics in all places with overall performance lights technology!
