Rob Jackson is often busy and needed a reliable lighting that could keep up with his lifestyle. He is also a proud African American who embraces many of the Kwanzaa principles which serve as symbols of pride and empowerment among Black people in the United States. The principle Ujamaa stems from the ideology of economic independence. Focusing on this principle in particular he founded Ujamaa Lighting.
The Austin, Texas based founder pulls from his inspirations to innovate both the 60w power conserving LED and mobile controlled Smart LED lightbulbs. Mr. Jackson recognized that energy-efficient light bulbs were something that EVERY household needed. This was the foundation that brought about the Ujamaa vision.
