Nightscaping has expanded into the custom residential and commercial AV channels with the introduction of its Locklin Series, a modular low-voltage LED outdoor lighting system designed for integrators and lighting professionals.

The brand, first introduced at CEDIA Expo 2025, is launching into the channel with a structured sales network, training programs and participation at Lightapalooza 2026 in Austin, Texas. The company will exhibit at booth #530 and host a dealer training session during the event.

The Locklin Series is built around a modular platform intended to streamline specification, installation and long-term service. The system is composed of four core elements: application-based power bases, precision aiming knuckles, a single adjustable LED light module with interchangeable optics and glare-control modifiers. Nightscaping said the modular design enables hundreds of lighting configurations while reducing inventory complexity.

At the center of the system is the Locklin LED module, which allows users to adjust wattage at 3W, 5W or 7W, delivering 175, 300 or 425 lumens. Color temperature can be switched between 2700K and 3000K, and optics can be changed to achieve beam spreads of 7, 15, 36, 60 or 120 degrees. The module delivers a CRI of 93.4+ and IES TM-30 ratings of Rf 94 and Rg 99. Each fixture includes a honeycomb louver for glare control.

Power bases include ABS and Trident stake mounts, as well as tree, surface, gutter and can light mount options. The system incorporates a tool-free Twist Lock assembly and a patent-pending Through-Power transmission mechanism using gold-plated connections designed to support long-term durability and performance. Shroud options include tree, bullet, recessed, hardscape and wash configurations, with both fixed and adjustable knuckles available.

According to the company, the combination of modules, bases and accessories allows for more than 1,400 configuration possibilities from a single fixture platform. Integrators can modify installations over time, such as adding risers to accommodate plant growth, without replacing entire fixtures.

Here is a video about the Locklin Series:

The Locklin Series is rated IP68 and Coastal Rated for corrosion resistance. It is UL and ETL listed and has been tested against 27 U.S. military environmental, electrical and physical standards. Fixtures carry a lifetime warranty, while the LED module includes a 10-year warranty.

The product line is complemented by customizable bollards, bistro lighting, mailboxes, audio bollards, transformers and accessories. Nightscaping also offers a patented, Type 1 UL-listed lightning protection device rated to 80,000 volts for 12V outdoor systems including lighting, irrigation and outdoor audio.

“The Locklin products receive most of their inspiration and direction from the lighting designers, professional installers and service teams that specify and work with multiple brands of products every day in the field,” said Tim Ryan, executive director and principal designer at Lighthouse Design Studio. “From amateur to novice, CI’s will find Locklin a very smart approach that along with the brand’s supportive sales, marketing, and training programs, will serve their businesses well.”

Nightscaping is represented by F.B. Sales in New England, DSG Metro in Metro and Upstate New York, Hi-Fi Associates in the Mid-Atlantic, Performance Plus in the Rockies, Elite 3 Pro in TOLA and Convergence Reps in MINK.
