HUNT Dimming Celebrates Golden Anniversary

HUNT logo 50 yearsHUNT Dimming has announced that it has begun celebrating its fiftieth year as a lighting control manufacturer and technology development company.

The invention of the transistor in 1956, which launched the dawn of the modern-day electronics age and earned its inventors the Nobel prize for physics, would have a far-reaching impact on lighting control. Four years later, in 1960, the famous Hunt brothers of Dallas, TX invested in the transistor’s application to lighting, resulting in the first commercialization of dimming in the United States. The rest, as they say, is history. As the market evolved, so did HUNT, expanding its offering from products designed purely for aesthetic dimming to include energy management controls.

Happy birthday, HUNT Dimming!
