New EVO™ and Ketra-Ready Modulus Bullet Light outdoor lighting solutions take center stage along with three information-rich training sessions.
MOORESTOWN, NEW JERSEY, December 10, 2024 — Coastal Source, the industry leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance outdoor audio and lighting that Defy the Elements™, will showcase its new EVO™ and Ketra lighting solutions at Lightapalooza 2025 and host three critically important training sessions designed to help integrators build and expand their outdoor lighting business. Lightapalooza runs from January 20-23, 2025 at the Hilton Anatole Dallas Hotel.
“The outdoor living environment continues to offer integrators an expanding range of opportunities to grow their lighting business, as more and more homeowners come to view the outdoors as an extension of their indoor lifestyle,” Coastal Source CEO Franco D’Ascanio said today. “To fully capitalize on all that this growing opportunity offers, integrators must approach the outdoor environment with products that are designed to withstand the many challenges the outdoor environment poses, and that’s where Coastal Source’s fifteen plus years of industry-leading product design and development can really help them succeed right out of the gate.”
Introduced at CEDIA 2024 and now available for immediate delivery, EVO is designed to be the most beautiful, elegant, and refined outdoor lighting fixture ever to be brought to market. EVO provides lighting designers the flexibility to design a perfect outdoor lighting scene for the homeowner. Compared to Coastal Source’s current 6W MR-16 bullet up light, EVO is 50% smaller, has higher output, wider beam angle, and two dispersion patterns – direct and 360+. EVO has less glare, and cleaner overall output and is available in 2700K and 3000K color temperatures. EVO’s custom designed fully-integrated LED module is based on a CREE LED. Its unique design fully seals all the electronics of the light into a compact, thermally efficient, and watertight package. Numerous shrouds, hats, risers, and accessories enable hundreds of unique fixture designs to solve all problems that a lighting designer may face. EVO is available in Black and Vintage Brass finishes to compliment the landscape scene perfectly.
Ketra has created the world’s most advanced light source to emulate the awe-inspiring possibilities of natural light shifting with the sun’s rise and fall throughout the day. The Coastal Source Ketra-Ready fixture is compatible with these innovative lamps, making it easy to deliver beautiful light to any outdoor environment. The Coastal Source Modulus Bullet Light is a solid brass light fixture capable of utilizing Ketra S30 lamps. This fixture is incredibly durable, and offers the best solution for the designers’ most challenging landscapes. When paired with the Ketra S30 LED lamp, the Modulus Bullet Light promises to bring the highest quality light to any outdoor space.
