Lighting is one of the most important elements in a home’s design. It serves many functions, including assisting in performing household tasks, creating an atmosphere for entertaining, providing safety and pulling together the design a homeowner wants to achieve. Whether you’re looking to outfit your home, spruce up the backyard, or replace a couple of light fixtures, great lighting will bring your house to life.

Cardello Lighting & Electric Supply is one of the largest independent lighting and electrical distributors in the Pittsburgh region, owned by its second-generation president, Matthew Cardello. The brand has been around for over 75 years and features two Pittsburgh-area showrooms located in Canonsburg and Cranberry. Meet with knowledgeable professionals who understand design, functionality and technical details while getting personalized recommendations that suit your space, style and budget!

The History of Cardello
Nicholas J. Cardello, Sr. began his career as an electrical contractor and soon decided to open his own business as an electrical distributor. In 1947, with only $327, a 1941 Chevrolet and a living room which doubled as a counter and warehouse, Cardello Electric was created. He was known for his continuous innovations throughout the years. Nick was an active leader, donating his time and money throughout the community. His service continues to be remembered annually at the Art Rooney Awards with the Nick Cardello Award honoring volunteerism.
Transforming Your Space Starts with a Showroom Visit
Cardello’s lighting showrooms give customers the opportunity to discover how lighting can transform the mood, experience and vision of a space. You can view lighting products and materials that may not be available in a typical retail setting. The brand has partnered with a variety of manufacturers on premium lighting solutions, as well as decorative accents, which are on display for shoppers to see first-hand.
Think of this as an interactive shopping visit! Get your hands on a variety of fixture options/finishes, demo dimming levels and compare light bulb types (just to name a few). Seeing the products and materials in real life will give customers a sense of how the lighting will look in their home. Plus, the experts are there to answer questions and provide helpful tips. Get a glimpse of the showrooms!
Cardello’s staff takes the time to fully understand someone’s project needs and to determine a scope, while paying close attention to the budget, personal taste, room dimensions and more. Their experts are also available for a free one-hour lighting design consultation at either showroom.
Price Match Guaranteed
Cardello is unique in many ways with its offerings and well-informed team. But did you know they also honor a price match? If you find the same lighting product online at a lower price, the company will match it!

Customers are welcome to share their post-shopping experience with the Cardello team on how the new lighting has made a transformative difference in the home.
