Established in March 2014 as a three-person home-based business in Montgomery County, Maryland, Ghozt Lighting develops automotive lighting controllers rather than building complete lights. Its BlueGhozt controller brings smartphone-controlled animation to addressable vehicle LEDs, while the made-in-USA v5 LED Sequencer manages traditional automotive lighting and can be customized with Ghozt’s in-house Sequence Designer software. The company offers a lifetime non-transferable warranty on its products.
