What Lite The Night does

Lite the Nite LLC is a US-based manufacturer of low-voltage outdoor LED landscape lighting systems, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois. The company builds power supplies (AC transformers, DC power packs, and the proprietary RUPS solar power module), landscape lighting fixtures (path lights, downlights, uplights, hardscape fixtures, brass and aluminum step/wall lights), specialty products (Certified Turtle-Friendly amber lighting, pool cage, in-ground, submersible, and strip lighting), and supporting LED & accessory SKUs (lamps, stakes, mounts, waterproof connectors, low-voltage wire). Engineering emphasis spans weather-resistant materials (brass with up to 15-year warranty; aluminum), 30,000-60,000 hour LED lifetimes, and the RUPS off-grid solar architecture recognized by the Irrigation Association's New Solar Contest. The founding team draws on prior leadership at Intermatic Incorporated.

Lite the Nite generates revenue exclusively from hardware sales, sold through a nationwide network of wholesale electrical distributors (City Electric Supply, Graybar, Border States, Consolidated Electrical Distributors), national landscape supply distributors (SiteOne), and regional sales representatives (e.g., JR & Associates/Nebraska, Metra Associate/Florida, E.F. Lombardi Co./North Carolina); Illinois-based contractors and end users can purchase factory-direct via the Schaumburg facility. Pricing is not publicly disclosed — quotes are handled through contact forms, direct email (info/orders/[email protected]), or via local reps and distributors. Marketing spans content (resources hub, blog, FAQ, video training on YouTube), social (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest), email newsletter, regional trade shows (St. Louis Home & Garden Show, iLandscape 2026), and a dedicated partner/distributor program.

Customer segments span residential homeowners (security, aesthetics, property value enhancement up to ~50% per company claims), commercial properties (resorts, hotels, public spaces), professional contractors and designers who specify and install the products, and wholesale distributors/local reps who resell. End-customer evidence consists of small-volume testimonials from contractors and SMB buyers rather than enterprise anchor accounts. Charitable initiatives include support for The Jeffrey Pride Foundation (Pediatric Cancer Research) and Folds of Honor. The company is a privately held Illinois LLC with 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no M&A activity, and no public filings.
