Spectrum Lighting was started in 1992 with a partnership between Jeff Fein and Chris Roemlein. High school friends, they connected after college with the goal of starting a business and living in a great part of the world. After going through a list of possible businesses, they decided low voltage landscape lighting would be a unique business. At the time there was little competition and most outdoor fixtures were line voltage. Utilizing low voltage outdoor par 36, DC base and halogen lamps and employing a local machine shop the partners built a line of understated functional outdoor luminaires.
