The luxury outdoor lighting firm has also been accepted to exhibit and present its CEDIA CEU design and installation courses at the February 2026 Lightapalooza event.
West Chester, PA – October 20, 2025 – This year landscape and architectural lighting design firm Lighthouse Design Studio — in collaboration with business development and marketing firm Muto Communications — expanded from the luxury estate market into the custom residential channel, kicking things off with both exhibitions and CEDIA CEU design & installation seminars conducted at the 2025 CEDIA Tech + Business Summits, CEDIA Expo, and upcoming February 2026 Lightapalooza.
Since 2001 Lighthouse Design Studio has been a leading national outdoor lighting design firm with over 50,000 installations under its belt, amassing 35+ design awards. Led by Executive Director and Principal Lighting Designer Tim Ryan, the firm is supported by a team of seasoned lighting designers located around the US. Examples of Lighthouse Design Studio’s work, including the benefits of working with the firm, can be seen here: Lighthouse Portfolio & Partner Benefits
Lighthouse Design Studio’s proposition for integrators is to function as an independent brand-agnostic partner that provides all the pre- and post-sale support required for today’s large, complex luxury outdoor lighting projects. This includes comprehensive system design, product sourcing, and after-sales support – including supervising and/or managing the installation. “Lighthouse gets involved in the process early on, helping integrators close the sale. This garners bigger projects, better results, and happier clients,” says Ryan.
Recognizing the tremendous opportunity that this award-winning design and installation firm brings to their dealers, leading CEDIA channel rep firms that represent some of the top outdoor lighting brands like Coastal Source and AiSPiRE have partnered with Lighthouse Design Studio. Today Lighthouse Design Studio announced the appointment of:
– Atlantic Integrated (Metro New York)
– Sound-Tech Marketing (Rocky Mountain region)
– Momentum Marketing (TOLA)
– F.B. Sales Inc. (New England)
As Lighthouse Design Studio continues to develop its sales network in North America, interested reps and dealers can contact Muto Communications Business Development Director Paul Fredrickson at [email protected] / phone: 781.308.2312.
