About Deako

At Deako Lighting, we are delivering a revolutionary plug-n-play lighting system that empowers homeowners to easily personalize their lighting.

Putting a motion sensor switch in the laundry room or a smart dimmer in the family room for a movie-time scene has never been easier.

We’ve built a company based on trust where forming personal relationships is key to our success. You will thrive in this fast-paced environment if you are a self-starter who loves creative problem-solving and have strong communication skills. As a maturing startup, there are a lot of moving parts!
