Outdoor lighting and audio have to be tough. They must defy the elements. Irrigation, fertilizer, insecticides, acid rain, weed whackers, bugs, and salt spray take a toll on the typical landscape systems. The salt spray may be the most damaging of all. This is how we've come to be known as manufacturers of "coastal tough" products that are engineered to defy the elements along the coast and all points between. As a part of our rigorous testing process, we evaluated products from every reputable manufacturer of landscape lights. One of the problems we faced is that all products work, even the cheap ones, for a little while. Then they quit, fail or fall apart. You are forced to make expensive repairs or totally replace a non-functioning system. Customer satisfaction and your reputation suffer. Coastal Source outdoor lighting products are built with integrity. More than 60 years of hands-on industry experience gave us what we needed to take on the entire outdoor industry. Real-world and laboratory testing gave us a solid understanding of the challenges we had to overcome. Coastal Source has designed and engineered the entire system to be better… from the transformer to the last fixture. Coastal Source outdoor lighting is created from the raw material up. The fixtures are designed for superior function and durability.
