Established in 1987 as Maring DeVries Associates, the agency formed with an idea that the lighting manufacturer’s rep in Chicago could be a trusted source of expertise, reliable service, and fresh ideas. From this idea the business has grown to serve lighting showrooms & electrical distributors with quality lighting brands for nearly 40 years.

Re-branded as MDA Lites in 2016, we’ve grown to expand our partnerships, distribution channels, and geographic territories while honoring our core values of superior lighting expertise, personalized client service, and trusted reliability.

As the lighting industry continues to rapidly transition into a new age of smart controls, human-centric lighting, biophilic design, & technologies yet to be discovered, we remain dedicated to serving the lighting needs of our partners and their designs, spaces, & homes.
