About Deako

At Deako Lighting, we are delivering a revolutionary plug-n-play lighting system that empowers homeowners to easily personalize their lighting. Thanks to our easy-to-use design, homeowners are able to change out a light switch in 15 seconds without any tools, calling an electrician, or even turning off a breaker! Putting a motion sensor switch in the laundry room or a smart dimmer in the family room for a movie-time scene has never been easier.

We’ve built a company based on trust where forming personal relationships is key to our success. You will thrive in this fast-paced environment if you are a self-starter who loves creative problem-solving and have strong communication skills. As a maturing startup, there are a lot of moving parts!

Core Values

SMART: Generate new ideas, quickly understand difficult concepts and have a thirst for learning.

FOCUSED: When we are at work, we are focused, and working on the most important things. No one should have to work more than 40 hours a week regularly. We value work/life balance.

TRANSPARENT: We share the good and the bad. Innovation happens while solving problems, and others can help if we know about problems early.

BEST IDEAS WIN: Great ideas win, regardless of where they come from. Not based on company hierarchy.

CHALLENGE RESPECTFULLY: Listen first with the mindset of learning something you don’t know. Ideas don’t get better if they aren’t challenged, so we challenge respectfully.

TEAM FIRST: We respect the contribution that different perspectives can bring to a problem. We create an environment that benefits from the speed of trust.
