Let There Be Light, LLC

Several years ago, Steve Gold began experimenting with lighting design at his residence (a colonial home built in 1747 for a Revolutionary War general) in Woodbury, Connecticut. In particular, Steve refurbished a number of copper oil lanterns to their original state. What began as a side project turned into an obsession with authenticity. Many a passerby would stop and comment on the lanterns rustic beauty. Since moving to Arizona with his wife Patti, Steve took a keen interest in desert landscaping, specifically outdoor lighting. Inspired to make some changes, Steve redesigned the exterior lighting system at his own home. Once again, many people commented on his talent. Steve recognized there was a need in the Northeast Valley for custom lighting, and he felt determined to transform his hobby into a calling. Like his father, Bryan Gold is mechanically inclined and artistically adept. Before moving to Arizona in 2006, he spent eight years as a shop foreman at a Connecticut facility that built race car engines. Using the experience he gained designing, machining and assembling these high performance machines, he decided to enter a new field. Landscape Lighting offered him the opportunity to utilize his mechanical skills, while cultivating his artistic aptitude. He was thrilled to venture on this endeavor with his father. The two began their quest at Nightscaping University in Redlands, California. One month later, Bryan and Steve were licensed, bonded and insured to design and install low-voltage lighting systems.
