Meet the Team
We are so very proud of our team that we actually consider them part of our family!
As you might imagine, we are larger than the sum of our parts. This section is no exception. We have a very large family. Listed below are just a few of our members who you'll likely need to speak with upon your first visit.
Charles Lyall
Having Charles and his 30+ years of hands-on experience in the field of lighting has certainly paid off for us. After all, he founded the company. Charles excelled as a custom home builder. That’s where he found his passion in lighting. He has won many awards for his Lighting and Luminaire Designs. And guess what? He’s the most senior sales rep that we have to offer you. He understands his clients needs, but most importantly, he knows how to transform a lighting plan from complicated to simple. His work does more than that though, it creates award winning atmospheres. Charles has in-depth knowledge of lighting and luminaire technology. He knows what will and won’t work for you, but, don’t worry, he won’t keep his advice a secret!

His career as a Lighting Specifier has placed him at the forefront of innovation and his experience and expertise can been seen clearly by the many award winning projects that he has contributed to. Designers, Architects and Engineers alike, all rave about their positive results while working with him. As do we. Traian’s been with us since the summer of 2000. He professes that the draw he felt towards us was due in part, to our many exciting and award winning projects. He is studying to be a Certified Electrician, as well as working towards a Certificate in Lighting Controls. As an avid student, he is also taking AutoCAD and Photometric courses. If you ask him about his family, his smile will energize you as he speaks about his love for his wife and three boys and the time they spend together. If you want to quiz him, just ask how many fc/lux are required to light the Jiu-Jitsu Dojo and Mixed Martial Arts Ring where he studies his focus, art and timing -three very important qualities in a consultant –if you ask us!

Amarjit Chima
She’s back! After making the tough decision of leaving Eurolite about 9 years ago, to raise her young family, Amarjit is back and we are happy to have her as part of our Eurolite family again.
With an Honors BSc. in Chemistry from the University of Waterloo and an Interior Design Diploma from The International Academy of Design and Technology, she has just the right mix of creativity and ingenuity to be a great fit for Eurolite.
During her “sabbatical” from the world of lighting she gained hands on experience in the world of entrepreneurial business in sales training and marketing consulting. Even with this change in career path, where she gained a vast array of knowledge about the intricacies of the business and marketing world, her thirst for the lighting industry remained strong.
Born in England she sports a funny accent that is tough to ignore. After living in Canada for almost 30 years she considers it her home. Even though she has an affinity for all things British, including British Heinz Baked Beans, she is very much a Canadian and loves living and raising her family in Toronto.
Amarjit is energetic, funny and an extremely dedicated individual. She has a thirst for knowledge and believes that every experience in life is an opportunity just waiting to be unleashed and experienced, when approached with an open mind.

Seow-Chin Pua
With a B.A (Honours) in East Asian Studies and Economics from the University of Toronto and a Fashion Management diploma from George Brown College, Chin-Chin combines her keen understanding of retail environments with a wide scope of knowledge in fashion, history and business. She says she just wants to know “how it all works”. When we first met her, we saw an insatiable thirst for knowledge, attention to detail and a natural flair for people and style. Her effervescent personality and (obvious) intelligence are what you will notice within seconds of meeting her yourselves! Keeping her finger on the pulse of what’s beautiful (and functional) comes easily to the well-travelled professional, who is studying up on a century of lighting under the mentorship of Lisa Cancellato. Looking to the future, expect to be as impressed as we are!
