362 Masters of Landscape Lighting Sterling Lighting Sterling Lighting was founded in 2011 by Patrick Harders, L.C. and Damien Sanchez in response to a fundamental problem within the landscape lighting industry. At the time, the products available on the market failed to meet the needs of professional lighting designers who demanded precision, restraint, and long-term performance. Rather than compromise design intent, they chose to create a product line built from a designer's perspective. Sterling Lighting stands apart from every other manufacturer in the industry because a lighting designer founded it. Patrick approached luminaire design not as an engineering exercise, but as an extension of the lighting design process itself. Each Sterling luminaire was developed to support real-world applications, precise aiming, consistent output, and long-term serviceability. The result is a product line that serves the design rather than forcing the design to serve the product. Sterling Lighting has also brought manufacturing back to Virginia, reinforcing a commitment to craftsmanship, accountability, and domestic production. The company builds its luminaires to last a lifetime using premium alloys and environmentally responsible PVD coatings. Today, Sterling Lighting sets the standard for the world's leading lighting designers by delivering luminaires built to perform, endure, and elevate the experience of light. PARTNERS IN PROGRESS BOTH PAGES: Sterling pioneered the first serviceable integrated luminaire on the market, setting a new standard for sustainability, adaptability, and longevity. This innovation allows luminaires to evolve as technology advances while maintaining the integrity of the original installation. An uncompromising focus on light quality defines every product, from uplights and downlights to path lights, wash lights, well lights, underwater lights, and beyond. Precision optics, superior glare control, low-light-level options, and premium beam shaping allow lighting designs to feel natural, balanced, and intentional. In addition, a commitment to 97 to 99 CRI ensures depth, accuracy, and richness that reveal landscapes and architecture as they were meant to be seen. Sterling also provides top-quality lighting accessories, components, and transformers.
