About
Luxury Lighting on the Great Plains
Our Story
We started Pax Lighting out of our deep-seated belief in mastery, high-craft, and the good life.
After time in the high-end corporate design and manufacturing world, we decided to return to our roots. We’re at our best when we’re closer to our craft, making with our hands, experimenting and exploring, and interacting with the amazing people who use and appreciate our products.
And we decided to do that from our hometown of Kearney, NE. We’ve found an amazing team of curious, passionate, growth-minded people and hope to inspire others to do what they love in a place they love.
Why ‘Pax’?
Pax means “peace” in Latin and we want it to be our main vibe. Of course we want our products to be a beautiful backdrop for our clients but we also want your experience with us to be one of overriding peace and confidence – that we’re here to help and will deliver on what we say.

Concentrated problem-solver and beautiful-mind level project planner. Ceramic hand-builder and mold-maker extraordinaire. Cello master but also keys and voice in a small-town band.
