About Austen Stucki

I’ve spent the past 15 years in the lighting industry working across IoT-enabled lighting systems, sales, manufacturing, and real-world installations. My background spans product development, contractor adoption, and building scalable lighting ecosystems designed to perform in the field—not just on paper.I focus on smart, low-voltage outdoor lighting solutions that are easy to install, reliable long-term, and profitable for the people selling and installing them. We sell into distribution, work closely with branch managers and outside sales teams, and invest heavily in contractor training—because adoption only happens when products are supported, understood, and proven on the job.I’m deeply aligned with partners who believe in doing things the right way: distributors looking to own a high-growth category, contractors seeking dependable systems that reduce callbacks and increase margins, and sales leaders who value education over hype. I believe strong relationships, clear economics, and field-validated products are what scale businesses—not restrictive models or gatekeeping.Our products are built from ladders and job sites, not from behind a desk. Every system is refined through real installs, real feedback, and real use cases before it ever reaches a customer. That philosophy has shaped how we manufacture, how we train, and how we partner.If you’re focused on building long-term value through smart lighting, distribution-first growth, and contractor success, I’m always open to the right conversation.
