About Me: Gotham has been on the forefront of lighting since 1938. However our association with Acuity Brands has advanced that leadership position, as we now share in the resources of our parent and sister companies within Acuity Brands Lighting.
The benefit of this association is apparent, for example, in the expertise of The Lighting Technology Group, assuring that Gotham remains on the leading edge of lighting design and technology development. We also share widespread involvement in industry groups and associations, encouraging the exchange of ideas and the embracing of new challenges.

What is not so apparent is our commitment to lighting and lighting education. Through the Besal Fund, we provide financial support to university lighting programs as well as scholarships for design and engineering students. The Jim H. McClung Foundation funds industry research to advance the art and science of quality illumination.

We are respectful of Harry Gerstel's original vision for the company, and grateful for the opportunity to carry on his work in a new century. Today's Gotham team is pledged to continue the tradition of partnering with designers and architects to light today's spaces with tools of the highest caliber in terms of optical performance, aesthetics and quality.
