About Us
Hydrel transforms ordinary evenings into extraordinary experiences. Our luminaires don’t just illuminate—they elevate. From iconic bridges and cultural landmarks to vibrant plazas and architectural facades, Hydrel lighting enhances the beauty and character of every space it touches.
As a premier brand of outdoor architectural, landscape, and aquatic lighting, we are committed to performance, precision, and durability. For over six decades, Hydrel has led the industry with cutting-edge lighting solutions that combine advanced sources and optics to create a wide variety of lighting effects tailored to each unique environment.
We specialize in engineering excellence for harsh environments and challenging locations, producing commercial-grade luminaires that are rigorously tested to reveal the beauty of nighttime architecture, aquatics, and landscapes. Our fixtures are built to last—incorporating innovative sealing technologies, superior materials, and long-lasting finishes that ensure decades of reliable performance with minimal maintenance and unmatched structural integrity.
By integrating today’s smaller, more efficient light sources with precision optical platforms, Hydrel achieves photometric performance rarely seen in outdoor lighting. The result is a soft, uniform illumination that enhances spaces with a quality of light that is both technically superior and visually stunning.
At Hydrel, our mission is to turn light into an experience—one that connects, inspires, and endures.
Make ordinary evenings extraordinary and turn icons iconic.

Expertise
Unveiling nighttime beauty with light.
With 60 years behind us, we’ve learnt a thing or two about outdoor lighting. From lighting the Hoover Dam to lighting skyrises like the Frost Bank Tower, we helped make it happen. We offer complete control and network options and continuously ensure innovation is at the forefront with Flow-Thru, Aim-Lock, and Quad Chip, to mention a few. You can rely on Hydrel for your architectural outdoor lighting design requirements.
Hydrel Manufacturing
Our fixtures are made in the USA, with manufacturing locations in Crawfordsville, Indiana and Winona, Minnesota.
All our luminaires meet BAA, the Buy American Act, except for the remote transformers for accent and landscape fixtures. The purpose of manufacturing in the USA allows us to maintain the quality that Hydrel is known for and will for years to come. We are proud to back the power of the American factory floor while supporting hundreds of local economies in the USA.
Our locations are outfitted with the most advanced production line equipment.
