luke’s lights

“Dream Big, Do Bigger” he told us, hand-lettered on the first page of the travel journal he was keeping when we lost our 19-year-old son and brother to a climbing accident. This is our way of spreading our love for Luke—and his spark—around the world.

We partnered with Unite to Light, developed a strong waterproof solar lamp, lovingly created a logo, designed the brown kraft box and the all-together-holding-up-the-sky illustration, designed a website, held our breath and broken hearts and … launched full-force to conquer darkness.  

168,169 luke lights distributed in 78 countries

Making the light

We needed to design a durable, low-cost, portable solar light that could function as a task light and hang overhead for room lighting—and be left out in the rain. Never ones to shy away from a challenge (or hundreds of emails back and forth to Hong Kong), we now have a 20-lumen bright light that brings 8 hours of night light and is waterproof to IP65.
