Company History

38+ years of lighting excellence — trusted by distributors across Canada.

About CNA Lighting

CNA Lighting is a division of CNA International Enterprises Inc., a privately held Canadian company established in March 1988. For over 38 years, CNA has been dedicated to delivering high-quality lighting products and excellent prompt service to customers across Canada.

Our Beginning

CNA began its journey with the introduction of its first halogen light bulb in 1988. What started as a focused specialty product line grew steadily as demand for reliable, quality lighting solutions expanded throughout Canada. From the outset, CNA committed to standing behind every product it sells — a philosophy that continues to define the company today.

The Shift to LED

As the lighting industry evolved, CNA adapted and invested heavily in LED technology. Today, the company's catalog is anchored by a wide range of high-performance LED light bulbs and fixtures. While limited halogen, CFL, and HID product lines remain available for specific applications, LED products are now the cornerstone of the CNA offering — reflecting the industry-wide shift toward energy efficiency and longevity.

Serving the Trade

CNA sells exclusively through the trade — lighting distributors, electrical wholesalers, and lighting showrooms throughout Canada. This focused distribution model allows CNA to maintain strong relationships with its partners and ensure consistent product availability and support.

To serve customers across the country, CNA operates well-stocked inventory across three Canadian warehouses:

  • Burnaby, BC — Head Office & West Coast distribution
  • Surrey, BC — Bulk order facility (AVP Carriers Ltd.)
  • Halton Hills, ON — Central Canada distribution (QRC Logistics)

Innovation & Product Development

Year after year, CNA introduces new and innovative lighting products to the Canadian market. The company continuously monitors industry developments and customer needs to expand and refine its product lineup. Subscribers to CNA's email list receive monthly updates on new product introductions.

Quality & Certifications

CNA puts its brand name on everything it sells — a statement of accountability and confidence in product quality. CNA products are certified to cUL, cETLus, and cTUVus standards, meeting the safety and performance requirements for the Canadian and North American markets.
