Lighthouse Worldwide

History

Lighthouse's official history says the business was established in 1982 and introduced its first software that year. The company marked its fortieth anniversary in 2022 and describes later milestones including the 2003 introduction of the HandHeld 3016, which it identifies as the first particle counter with a touchscreen. These company-published milestones provide context for the 2016, 3013, 3016, and 5016 handheld instruments represented in the manual archive.

Current official product literature describes portable airborne particle counters, remote particle-monitoring systems, air samplers, and software-centered contamination control. The product evolution extends from standalone counters to systems that stream and integrate data for ongoing environmental monitoring, including later ApexZ instruments. A 2025 official brand guide identifies the Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions name, the 1982 founding year, and White City, Oregon, as headquarters; an official terms document supplies the incorporated legal name. These current claims should still be rechecked when the draft is approved for publication.
