What we do

Who we are
1000Bulbs.com is a privately owned lighting company incorporated in Texas. 1000Bulbs.com carries thousands of items from simple household bulbs to cutting-edge specialty lighting products.
Kim Pedersen, founder of 1000Bulbs.com, got his start in the lighting industry in 1979 when he responded to a newspaper ad for a straight commission lighting sales position. Based in Elkhorn, Nebraska, he sold door-to-door throughout the Midwest until 1982 when he relocated to Dallas to work for a national lighting distributor.
13 years later, Kim invested a small amount of savings into starting the company that would become 1000Bulbs.com. The company's first office was in the back bedroom of Kim's home in Mesquite, Texas and consisted of two sawhorses and an old door for a desk.
The 1000Bulbs.com web site was launched in 1995. Since that time it has grown to an award-winning business of nearly 100 employees and is still growing.
