Lit Group / Partner Systems · ii. General Contractors

Architectural LED contractor for high-end residential general contractors.

Lit Group is a specialty LED subcontractor for luxury residential builders in Los Angeles. We handle concealed linear lighting, cove lighting, reveal lighting, stair lighting, toe kicks, backlit stone, and custom LED assemblies.

The GC gets a defined specialty scope, one responsible subcontractor, and a team that understands how LED details interact with stone, millwork, electrical, controls, and finish work.

i. SpecialtyWhat we solve

Architectural LED is not standard electrical trim.

A clean line of light depends on the channel, lens, driver, mounting condition, finish plane, dimming behavior, and service access. Those details are easy to underestimate when they are buried inside a larger electrical bid.

Lit Group gives the project a dedicated subcontractor for the specialty LED scope. We can price it, coordinate it, fabricate what needs to be built, install it with our crew, and support commissioning with the controls team.

ii. PartnerWhere we fit

A clear specialty line item for the build.

We work with the GC, electrician, stone fabricator, cabinetmaker, architect, designer, and low-voltage contractor so the lighting detail has a clear owner. The goal is simple: fewer handoff problems and a cleaner finished result.

iii. SendWhat we review

What to send for a clean bid.

A first-pass review usually only needs the drawing set and a few project specifics. We’ll come back with a defined scope, the coordination items that need attention, and a budget number for the specialty LED line.

  • Architectural drawing set — floor plans, elevations, RCPs, and any lighting design intent.
  • Electrical sheets and dim/control narrative if available.
  • Stone selections and any backlit stone locations identified by the design team.
  • Cabinetry and millwork drawings for any toe-kick, shelf, or floating cabinet lighting.
  • Project schedule with framing, drywall, stone fabrication, and finish dates.
  • Lead architect and designer contacts so we can clarify intent without going through five layers.

v. FAQCommon questions

General contractor FAQ.

Why hire a specialty LED subcontractor instead of letting the electrician handle it?
Specialty LED is a dedicated subcontractor scope. Linear and backlit work is detail-driven: channels, lenses, drivers, dimming protocol, access, and finish conditions all have to work together. A dedicated specialty contractor gives the GC one clear owner for that line item.
When should Lit Group be brought into a project?
The best time is when the LED scope is visible in the drawings and the team is defining trade responsibilities. We can also engage mid-build and give the GC a realistic path based on existing conditions.
What does Lit Group own end-to-end?
Drawing review, shop drawings, fabrication of channels and panel assemblies, on-site install with our own crews, and commissioning with the controls integrator. The GC gets one accountable line on the schedule.
Is Lit Group licensed and insured?
Yes. Lit Group is a licensed specialty subcontractor based in Van Nuys, with insurance documentation available on request. References from Westside luxury residential projects are available during pre-qualification.
Do you work with the GC’s electrician?
Always. We coordinate directly with the project electrician on circuit loading, driver placement, J-box layout, low-voltage runs, and rough-in timing. We do not replace the electrician — we handle the specialty scope alongside them.
