Company

Company overview

SKYX Platforms Corp.’s main paying customers buy lighting and heating products, primarily in the United States. Most revenue comes from third-party products sold through e-commerce. Its acquired online retailer, Belami, also gives it websites that sell to consumers, builders and professionals and promote SKYX’s own technology. Where possible, the company pairs the products it resells with its plug-in installation feature, either built in or added through an adapter kit.

Its Sky Plug & Receptacle lets an equipped fixture plug into a socket fixed inside a ceiling electrical box, so users can attach or remove the fixture without handling exposed wires. SKYX also sells smart products controlled through its SkyHome App and licenses its installation technology for royalties. Its own technology products contribute less revenue than the acquired e-commerce business.

The resale business depends on third-party suppliers continuing to supply products. SKYX’s technology also relies on rights to intellectual property owned by others, and its products must meet applicable safety and certification requirements. Electrical-code recognition does not make its ceiling receptacle mandatory. The company expects to need additional financing because operating cash flow is insufficient to sustain operations and adequately develop its smart products.

SKYX's current results hinge on online lighting and heating sales, while Hunter and Minka are specialist rivals to watch as it pursues smart products.

  • Wayfair competes with SKYX for online lighting and décor purchases by consumers and businesses, putting its home-goods demand and retail competition close to SKYX's main source of revenue. Watch demand for those goods rather than treating all of Wayfair's furniture sales as a read-through to SKYX.

  • Home Depot competes with SKYX's online business for consumers and professionals buying lighting, ceiling fans and other home-improvement products. Its sales to contractors and remodelers are worth watching because SKYX's acquired lighting websites also reach builders and professionals.

  • Acuity Inc. sells lighting fixtures and controls that compete with SKYX's lighting products, but its broader building-management business makes it a less direct comparison. Its ABL lighting business, which combines fixtures with electronics and connected controls, is the closer business to watch.

  • Amazon competes for the consumers buying lighting online from SKYX and also sells smart-home devices that overlap with SKYX's platform ambitions. Watch its retail pricing and delivery offer for the current sales competition, and devices such as Echo and Ring for the smart-home rivalry.
