Our Story

LED are Us was established in 2008 by visionary entrepreneur Jimmy Knips, the owner and operator of the renowned Miami retail landmark, The Christmas Palace.

Jimmy first discovered the benefits of LED technology through the decorative lighting products sold in his Christmas business.

By early 2007, he began noticing LED integration into various other lighting applications. 

Already being a strong advocate for LED, he was inspired to explore its full potential.

With his three sons actively involved in the family-owned Christmas business, Jimmy encouraged them to research the fast-evolving LED technology and its opportunities.

As they deepened their knowledge, they realized the significant advantages LED could bring to both their customers and the business.

Through trial and error, the Knips family immersed in the LED industry, eventually forming distribution partnerships with leading manufacturers.

Today, with over 15 years of success and thousands of completed projects, LED Are Us has established itself as a national LED solutions provider.

The company proudly represents many of the industry’s most trusted brands.

Christopher Knips continued the family legacy by purchasing the company from his father in 2024.

His leadership ensures that LED Are Us remains dedicated to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction for years to come.
