Our new and improved site is finally here and we want your transition to be as smooth as possible! To help you adjust, we’ve compiled all the key changes and updates in one place, including updated product names, reorganized categories, and refinements to our product logic. As you explore, remember: filters are your best friend. Filters allow you to narrow down by shape, light source, series, and much more for a faster, more intuitive experience. Using specific criteria will help you quickly find exactly what you’re looking for. You’ll also notice a search bar at the top of every page, making it easy to start your search from anywhere on the site.
Please Note: The current search tool is unable to search by product logic, for now… That will come very soon!
Product Name Conversion Matrix
With the launch of our new website, we’ve made several important product-related updates — including the consolidation of series and changes to product names for a more streamlined experience.
Some of the products you’ve come to know and love from B-K may not be found as you browse. Some great example of these are our Delta Star, El Capitan, Catskill, and more. Rest assured, these product offerings are still available! They’re just found under a new name.
To help you through the transition, we have provided an Old to New Product Name Conversion Matrix to look up previous product names or references. It will point you directly to the current equivalent, so you can easily find the updated solution that fits your needs.
You can access this tool on our Resources page.

Product Logic Changes
You will notice that the product logic has been completely restructured to provide consistency across product lines and a more detailed description of product configurations. Product Accessory logic has also been reworked for constancy and more detailed descriptions.
This restructuring was a necessary change to allow us to develop and incorporate new innovative tools like our new product configurator. It will also allow the B-K team to maintain accurate and detailed product information in the future. With the rollout of our new website, this was the perfect time to make such a change.
While product logic changes can sometimes be difficult to manage, most of the product logic is now populated for you through simple navigation. Upon landing on a product page like https://www.bklighting.com/ns-fl-lod-lhp-al-ro-tkm-ca/, you’ll now have the opportunity to use our configurator to fill in the rest of the logic with a simple click of your mouse (or tap of your finger for you mobile users), which makes populating product logic a breeze.
If you need to access the old product logic or information you can always do so at old.bklighting.com.
Please Note: The search bar does not currently have the ability to search by catalog logic but this is a feature we’re actively working on and will be available soon!
