Beachside Lighting was started in Hawai’i in 1994 with the intent of building a reputable line of quality exterior lighting fixtures. This came as a result of wondering why so many ocean-side estates on Honolulu’s prestigious Kahala Avenue had landscape lighting that was literally falling apart. The answer was in the materials used: plastic, powder-coated aluminum, and even steel. It was no secret that copper and various brass alloys had proved themselves for centuries in near ocean environments. Thus, an exclusively copper and brass line of landscape fixtures was born.
