History

Murphy Lighting Systems was founded in 1979 as Murphy Associates, a representative specialist company. Our expertise is performance lighting, staging and rigging systems; and architectural lighting control systems.

During our first 17 years, we specified, furnished and supported systems for theatres, television & motion picture studios, schools, churches, theme parks, hotels, and conference and convention centers in the southeastern United States and the Caribbean.

We incorporated in 1991 and changed our name to Murphy Lighting Systems to better convey what we do as a company. In 1996 we established our Service Center to commission systems and to provide the best service possible.

In 1997, we changed direction to better serve the needs of our clients as systems integrators. The digital era has given our industry many specialty products which need to be incorporated and integrated into the lighting and rigging systems.

As we enter the 21st Century, we continue to grow in size and in our capacity to provide a wide range of products, support and service, from simple to very sophisticated performance lighting systems and architectural lighting control systems. We have provided and currently service some of the largest digital network systems in the country utilizing DMX and Ethernet control over both wire and fiber optic cables.

Murphy Lighting Systems is an Authorized Service Center for the major manufacturers of dimming and control systems. We maintain the largest service center and parts inventory in the eastern United States.
