It all started with a compelling desire to end the annual hassle of putting up and taking down Christmas lights.
In 2017, Dan Junkins, founder and CEO of Celebright, had been thinking about the idea for some time. Inspired in part by his wife Susan’s holiday lighting requests (and his reluctance to keep climbing a ladder), Dan first created a lighting system for their own home. What started as a personal solution soon grew into Celebright, which has since expanded from a private garage to a 15,000-square-foot facility in Kanata, Ottawa, with operations across North America, all in pursuit of its mission to “bring joy through light.”
Celebright manufactures smart, customizable permanent outdoor lighting for homes, businesses, and public outdoor spaces, installed by a network of trained Dealers across Canada and the U.S.
There are two parts to the business. For homeowners, Celebright offers a multi-purpose smart outdoor lighting solution featuring elevated design and intuitive technology. For its Authorized Dealers, Celebright provides high-quality outdoor lighting solutions backed by strong marketing, comprehensive training and technical support. Their products have been adopted by homebuilders like Minto and Richcraft, who integrate Celebright during the design and construction phases.
One of Ottawa Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Companies 2025, Celebright’s smart, subtle, elegant, eco-friendly and responsible solution, truly provides lighting that works for every season, and for every reason.
