About A-1 LED Commercial Lighting

“I never saw myself owning an LED company…”

Nelson Mears, the man behind A-1 LED, is a humble, down-to-earth guy from Sheridan. In 2016, he founded A-1 LED out of his garage, inspired by his desire to help his community.

Who knew that a little garage tinkering would turn into Arkansas’ biggest Trade Ally company? Nelson never planned on becoming a regionally-renowned LED expert, but his hard work and genuine motivation to help others led the way for him.

When you work with A-1 LED, you get top-notch lighting solutions that revolutionize your energy bills– but you also get to benefit from Nelson’s work ethic, expert knowledge, and love for his community.
