Evening Star Lighting

What Evening Star Lighting does

Evening Star Lighting, LLC is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of low voltage architectural accent and landscape lighting systems, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Highland Park, New Jersey. The company designs and produces LED and incandescent fixtures engineered specifically for integration into concrete pavers, retaining and landscape walls, decks, and docks, serving residential landscape professionals (designers, contractors, and homeowners) as its primary customer segment and commercial/municipal hardscape projects as a secondary use case. Products are distributed within the United States and Canada via direct e-commerce and an authorized dealer network, and have been featured on DIY Network and HGTV.

The product portfolio spans roughly twenty categories centered on the proprietary PL250 LED paver light family (warm white and RGBW color-selectable variants), the trademarked Crescent Series hardscape lights, stainless steel transformers in 75W, 150W, and 300W capacities with 12V–15V taps, low voltage circuit cable (18/2 through 8/2 gauge), core drilling equipment, and a wide accessory ecosystem including lamp modules, power tap connectors, digital timers, photocells, and mounting hardware. Underlying technologies include CREE 5050 SMD LED arrays with second-layer diffusing optics, thermally protected resin-sealed toroidal core transformers, IP54/IP68-rated 316 stainless steel housings, and a quick-connect power tap system that eliminates splicing. Certifications include UL1838, ETL, cULus, CSA, and RoHS.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through transactional hardware sales. Unit pricing ranges from accessories under $20 (e.g., paver light removal tool at $19.95) to bulk cable spools above $2,000 (8/2 1000 ft at $2,033.95), with mid-range fixtures and transformers priced in the $65–$230 range. The company operates as an independent LLC with no disclosed parent, external funding rounds, or institutional investors, and with a headcount in the 251–500 range.
