In this CE Pro interview, Peter Sepesi, vice president of sales at Coastal Source, describes the EVO lighting line as a major evolution in the company’s outdoor lighting portfolio, developed based on over a decade of real-world experience. EVO—short for “evolution”—is the result of everything the company has learned from the field, not just in terms of product design, but also installation practices and integrator needs.

The line is positioned as a premium solution and is still actively evolving. Sepesi explains that EVO was designed to be highly modular. It offers a finished, elegant look while providing flexibility for integrators to configure systems to meet a wide variety of project requirements. This modularity helps streamline installations and supports future upgrades, all while maintaining Coastal Source’s trademark durability and performance.

Aesthetic appeal is another major focus. Sepesi notes that the form factor of the EVO fixtures has been especially well-received by clients, offering a sleek design that complements modern landscapes. At the same time, the system supports technical excellence, with improved optics, beam control, and overall light quality.

Ultimately, EVO embodies Coastal Source’s goal of delivering both beauty and function in outdoor lighting. It addresses the growing complexity of outdoor spaces and provides integrators with the tools to execute sophisticated, scalable designs with confidence.
