Custom permanent lighting

Break the dark.

Rift Lighting designs, custom-fabricates and installs permanent color lighting for exceptional homes, landscapes and works of art. Invisible by day. Unforgettable by night.

Most lighting is installed. Ours is composed. Every channel is fabricated for your architecture, every fixture placed with intent, every color tuned by eye after dark — until it stops looking like lights, and starts looking like the building was always meant to glow.

01 Permanent lighting

One install. Every night of the year.

A concealed, color-matched channel follows your roofline and holds individually addressable pixels. Warm white on a Tuesday, team colors on Sunday, a full holiday show in December — from your phone, on a schedule. Pick a scene.

01 / 07 — Scene

Everyday

Warm white accent light that reads as architecture, not decoration.

Channel color-matched to the trim — nearly invisible by day.

02 What we build

Five disciplines. One standard.

Every project is designed, fabricated and installed by our own team.

01 / 05

01

Permanent Architectural

Individually addressable pixels in a low-profile channel, color-matched to your trim. Programmed for every season, every occasion and every ordinary Tuesday.

  • Rooflines
  • Soffits
  • Facades
  • App control
02

Landscape & Garden

Specimen trees lit from below, stone grazed with light, paths and water layered for depth — tuned to read beautifully from inside the house and from the street.

  • Uplighting
  • Pathways
  • Water
  • Hardscape
03

Art & Installations

Sculptural light, immersive installations and one-off commissions for private collectors, developers and public spaces. If it can be imagined, we can engineer it.

  • Sculpture
  • Public art
  • Commissions
04

Commercial & Hospitality

Facades, entries and destinations people photograph and remember — restaurants, venues, hotels and retail, built to commercial spec.

  • Facades
  • Venues
  • Hotels
  • Retail
05

Custom Fabrication

We design and build our own channels, mounts, diffusers and enclosures in-house — so the light fits the architecture, never the other way around.

  • Channels
  • Mounts
  • Diffusers
  • Enclosures

03 The standard

Built like it's permanent. Because it is.

Holiday strands come down in January. What we install is engineered to stay — through every season, for years — and to look like it belongs to the building.

Concealed by day

A low-profile channel, color-matched to your trim or fabricated to match. You see the architecture — not the hardware.

Engineered for weather

Sealed, outdoor-rated fixtures and connections, built for sun, snow, wind and freeze–thaw cycles.

Every pixel addressable

Each point of light is controlled on its own — so everyday warm white looks like real light, and shows look like shows.

Control that's simple

Scenes, schedules and sunset timers from your phone. Set the year once and it runs itself.

Clean power & wiring

Concealed runs, properly sized power and protected connections — installed carefully and to code.

Supported long after

We tune everything after dark once it's in, and we're a call away for new scenes, changes and service.

04 Process

From first walk-through to first light.

One team carries your project from the first conversation to the final tune — no hand-offs, no subcontracted guesswork.

  1. Step 01

    Consult

    We walk the property with you — after dark when we can — to understand the architecture, the landscape and how you live there.

  2. Step 02

    Design

    A lighting concept and a clear proposal: what goes where, which colors and controls, and what it costs.

  3. Step 03

    Fabricate

    We build custom channels, mounts and components in our shop to fit your property exactly.

  4. Step 04

    Install

    Our own crew installs, conceals and tests every run — clean, careful and on schedule.

  5. Step 05

    Tune

    We program your scenes, show you the controls, and come back after dark to fine-tune every color.

05 Start a project

Let's light something unforgettable.

Tell us about your property or your idea. We'll set up a walk-through — ideally after dark, when we can see what the night is working with.
