Kenall Licenses Disinfection Lighting Patents To Pinnacle

Kenosha, Wisconsin (May 18, 2020) – Kenall Manufacturing and Visa Lighting mutually agreed to settle their pending litigation concerning visible light disinfection technology.

Kenall Manufacturing has licensed visible light disinfection patents to Pinnacle Architectural Lighting of Denver, Colorado. Both lighting companies are part of Legrand North and Central America.
