What is a .lighting domain?
.lighting is an open generic top-level domain for lamps, fixtures and lighting services, run by Binky Moon, LLC through Identity Digital Inc. It is one of the first new gTLDs: IANA shows it in the root since 6 November 2013, after a 4 November report delegating it to John McCook, LLC. Binky Moon took over on 23 March 2018, and the zone is DNSSEC-signed.

Which Indian businesses use a .lighting name?
.lighting fits every link of India’s lighting trade, from LED makers and wholesale markets to designers and event-decor firms.

Is .lighting restricted to registered electrical businesses?
No. .lighting has no eligibility rule: no electrical contractor licence, BIS registration or GSTIN is checked to register a name. Product rules apply to what you sell, not to the domain. LED lamps and luminaires sold in India fall under BIS compulsory registration, so manufacturers usually show their BIS registration details on product pages.
- Registrant: the company or proprietor, with contact details that pass email verification.
- Brand names: avoid names built on another lighting brand’s trademark, which can be challenged under UDRP.
- Premium words: very short or generic labels may carry a registry-premium price shown before payment.
.lighting vs .supply, .in and .com
Pick .lighting when lighting is the whole business; pick .supply for a wider electrical wholesaler; keep .in or .com when the brand matters more than the category. The extension has no effect on search ranking, so the question is what dealers and customers remember from a visiting card or a shop board.
A common setup is a .in company site with a short .lighting name for the product catalogue. Showrooms that also sell furniture may find .furniture or .house covers the range better.
Building a catalogue site on a .lighting domain
Lighting sites are photo- and spec-heavy, so they need fast image delivery and a structured product catalogue. Dealers buying in bulk want downloadable data sheets; retail buyers want a cart. WebJi® builds both through e-commerce website development, and makers selling to distributors can see websites for manufacturers and exporters. Other extensions are on domain registration in India.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who manages the .lighting registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, administered by Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, according to IANA. It was first delegated to John McCook, LLC in November 2013 and moved to Binky Moon in 2018.
Can an event light-decor vendor without GST registration buy .lighting?
Yes. The registry needs only accurate contact details, so an individual or unregistered proprietor can hold a .lighting name. A GSTIN is needed only if you want it printed on WebJi®’s invoice for input credit.
Is a .lighting domain good for a seasonal Diwali lights shop?
It works, but the renewal of ₹2,977 a year falls due even in months the shop is closed. Many seasonal sellers keep one year-round name and switch the homepage to the festive range each October.
Does .lighting cost more to renew than to register?
Slightly. WebJi® billing shows ₹2,861 for registration and ₹2,977 for each renewal, before 18% GST. Transferring an existing .lighting name in is listed at ₹2,861 and adds a year to its term.
Is .lighting DNSSEC-signed?
Yes. IANA lists a DS record for the .lighting zone, so you can sign your own name once your DNS host supports DNSSEC.
