Haven Lighting

What Haven Lighting does

Haven Lighting is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of cloud-connected smart outdoor LED lighting systems, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Erlanger, Kentucky, with manufacturing in Hebron, Kentucky. The company designs and ships a multi-line product portfolio — X Series permanent roofline lighting, 9 Series and 9 Series Pro full-color landscape lighting, 6 Series adjustable white landscape lighting, Q Series hardscape lighting, and the Stratus Wi-Fi smart transformer — unified by its Haven Lighting mobile app and Haven Cloud control platform. Differentiated IP includes a patent-pending visual drag-and-drop zone interface, a DIY light-show "Playground" engine, synchronized multi-building control across disparate Wi-Fi networks, a 30-second modular fixture replacement, and the Game Day Technology sports-event automation feature. The system delivers smartphone-based scheduling, remote access, sunrise/sunset auto-adjust, and 32-color plus tunable white output.

The company operates a dual-channel go-to-market. On the consumer side, it sells direct through havenlighting.com with DIY-friendly installation and an optional certified installer network. On the commercial side it runs a parallel storefront at shophaven.com, backed by a dedicated sales team offering 3D virtual renderings, project management, installation coordination, training, ongoing support subscriptions, and a leasing option for opex-friendly procurement. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of fixtures, transformers, and controllers, supplemented by commercial services revenue and recurring cloud support contracts.

Haven's served market spans residential homeowners seeking permanent holiday and architectural lighting; commercial customers in hospitality, restaurants, retail, automotive dealerships, and entertainment; municipal and government buyers including cities and airports; and educational institutions including universities. Named enterprise deployments include Disney's Swan Resort, Ritz Carlton, Sheraton, Gaylord, Courtyard by Marriott, McDonald's, Subaru, SpaceX, ExxonMobil, Allstate, Medpace, the City of Los Angeles, the City of Atlanta, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Texas, and others. The operating base is small (11–50 employees), no institutional funding has been disclosed, and shipping is enabled nationally across the U.S. and into Canada via the Hebron facility with a 2–3 day fulfillment window.
