Aquarii designs and manufactures LED light fixtures that bring unprecedented flexibility to venues, from front-of-house operations and house lights for performing arts centres to overhead lighting for municipal arenas. Created to make versatile LED lighting both practical and affordable for a wide range of facilities, Aquarii's lighting fixtures unite a variety of desirable features in one instrument, at price points that make it compelling to convert entire facilities from conventional lighting to LEDs, says the company. The company headquarters is located in Camillus, NY.
Led by Raymond Carrock as president, the Aquarii management team includes Damon Atwood, owner, president and CEO of Atwood Strategic Consulting, who joins Aquarii as national sales director. Atwood brings more than three decades of experience in the entertainment industry and in lighting design as well as years of experience in theatre systems integration, theatre automation and creating technical sales networks. Through his consultancy, Atwood has contracted with leaders in the entertainment industry to manage sales of specific products, and he has developed product and sales strategies for technologies ranging from automation systems to innovative lighting solutions. Throughout his career, Atwood has been involved with the design, integration and sales of more than 340 projects.

"Aquarii fills a hole in the lighting market by combining a new class of LED lighting fixtures with custom solutions that include professional engineering," said Carrock. "If our customers simply want to replace their traditional fixtures with versatile LEDs, we have the products to facilitate a smooth and beneficial transition to higher performance lighting. If they need to solve a complex structural problem, we also can provide the engineering skill and expertise to handle the complete solution."
Carrock most recently, he served as chief financial officer for international rigging company J.R. Clancy, Inc.
Aquarii will introduce its newest lighting fixture series, Axceleron, at LDI in Las Vegas this month.
