What CAST Lighting does

CAST Lighting LLC is a Hawthorne, New Jersey-based manufacturer of premium outdoor, landscape, and security lighting fixtures, founded in 2001 and operating as a privately held LLC. The company produces solid bronze low-voltage landscape lighting under the CAST Landscape brand using a proprietary sand-casting manufacturing process that yields durable, corrosion-resistant fixtures with a lifetime warranty; up to 96% domestic content supports its Made-in-USA positioning. Its technology portfolio includes LED fixtures with L70 ratings of 50,000-60,500 hours, Bluetooth Color Control for app-based customization (Patent 10,876,706), IR Remote Multi Lumen adjustment, LEDSense thermal management, and marine-grade No-Ox tin-coated wiring.

CAST Lighting serves professional landscape lighting installers, landscape architects and designers, and select hospitality properties through a four-channel go-to-market model: authorized local distributors, direct e-commerce at cast-lighting.com, specification sales for large commercial projects, and a contractor registration program offering wholesale pricing. Product lines include CAST Landscape (solid bronze fixtures), SOURCE by CAST (brass fixtures with smart features), and CAST Perimeter (security lighting). The company holds 35+ patents across product categories and maintains certifications including UL 1838, UL 8750, CE, FCC, and RoHS.

Revenue is generated through per-unit hardware sales of fixtures, LED lamps, transformers, wiring, and accessories priced from $3 for replacement parts to over $400 for premium bronze fixtures. The company employs 11-50 people and operates under President Dave Beausoleil. No venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment is disclosed, and ownership appears closely held consistent with a founder-led specialty manufacturer. Geographic operations are limited to the United States, with international expansion flagged as a potential but unconfirmed opportunity.

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Hubbell Lighting: Hubbell is a large electrical products manufacturer with a substantial outdoor and landscape lighting portfolio through brands such as Kim Lighting and Architectural Area Lighting. Hubbell's scale in commercial specification and outdoor lighting represents a broad competitive threat across CAST's commercial and institutional opportunities.
• Acuity Brands: Acuity Brands is one of the largest North American lighting manufacturers with extensive outdoor and landscape lighting products under multiple brands. While not specializing in landscape, Acuity's portfolio breadth, R&D scale, and channel relationships make it a relevant adjacent competitive force for CAST in commercial and specification-driven projects.
• Kichler Lighting: Kichler is a major residential and commercial lighting brand (owned by Masco) with a dedicated landscape lighting product line. While Kichler operates across the broader lighting category, its outdoor/landscape portfolio directly competes with CAST in the professional installer and design professional channels at various price points.
• Hinkley Lighting: Hinkley is an established decorative and landscape lighting manufacturer serving both residential and commercial markets through showrooms and distributors. Hinkley's landscape line competes with CAST at the designer/specification level with comparable aesthetic-focused fixtures.
• Hadco (Signify): Hadco is a heritage brand of outdoor landscape and architectural lighting now owned by Signify (Philips). Hadco serves the same professional specification market as CAST with comparable low-voltage landscape fixtures, though distributed through Signify's much larger commercial lighting channel.

Direct peers

• Unique Lighting Systems: Unique Lighting Systems manufactures low-voltage landscape lighting fixtures and accessories primarily for the professional market, including brass and copper fixtures similar to CAST's premium offerings. The companies compete head-to-head in the professional landscape lighting distribution channel.
• Vista Professional Outdoor Lighting: Vista Professional Outdoor Lighting manufactures low-voltage landscape lighting fixtures, transformers, and accessories sold through distributors to professional installers. The companies share the same channel structure (distributor + direct), target landscape contractors, and offer comparable product categories (path lights, directional lights, transformers).
• VOLT Lighting: VOLT Lighting is a manufacturer and direct-to-consumer seller of professional-grade low-voltage landscape lighting systems. While VOLT emphasizes factory-direct online sales, its product portfolio (fixtures, transformers, LED lamps) directly overlaps with CAST's residential and light-commercial offerings.
• FX Luminaire: FX Luminaire is a leading manufacturer of luxury landscape and architectural lighting fixtures, including LED systems, with a similar professional installer and design professional customer base. Both companies compete in the high-end residential and commercial landscape lighting category with comparable product depth and specification-grade offerings.

Emerging players

• Brilliance LED: Brilliance LED specializes in LED landscape lighting lamps, fixtures, and transformers with an emphasis on smart/connected outdoor lighting. The company's MR-16 LED lamps and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi controls overlap with CAST's SOURCE by CAST smart-lighting product line and patent-protected Bluetooth Color Control technology.
