Since 1984, Neotek has been manufacturing and installing cold cathode and neon systems
for lighting designers and architects worldwide. Neotek has always been an architectural
lighting company helping the designers and end-users create the best lighting for their projects.
We have worked closely with award winning lighting designers, implementing their designs
and meeting their highly creative goals. The company has built its reputation on providing
quality service, installation, and products. Our portfolio page contains many of the award
winning projects in which we have been privileged to participate. By crating the first cold
cathode fixture with a self-contained transformer, Neotek has changed the way cold cathode
has been installed since the 1920’s.
