West Chester, PA – August 8, 2025 – Award-winning landscape and architectural lighting design firm Lighthouse Design Studio (booth #4143) is proud to announce that CEDIA has approved three of its courses on outdoor lighting. The courses are 1) The Language of Light, 2) Lighting the Way: The Critical 5 of Landscape Lighting Design, and 3) The Critical 5 of Landscape Lighting Installation.
Recent studies show that while 75% of integrators forecast up to 25% growth in outdoor living revenues, only 11% successfully include it in their projects, as many lack the expertise to expand and close these opportunities. For integrators to be successful it is necessary to understand outdoor lighting and they can benefit greatly from Lighthouse’s expertise, relevant insights, and case studies.
The free one-hour courses will be presented by Lighthouse Design Studio Executive Director and Lead Designer Tim Ryan throughout the year. Each earns integrators with CEDIA Certifications 1 CEDIA CEU per course. The courses will also be presented at CEDIA Expo 2025. Course times and descriptions are:
