In just 3 days with the 3 Lighting Amigos, you’ll walk away with the exact roadmap to build a 7-figure landscape lighting business and this is the only time we’re offering it in 2026. No fluff, no filler. Design, sales, installs, scaling, hands-on and real-world.
If you’ve wanted to start a landscape lighting business (or finally make it serious), this is your moment. In February 2026, Captain Matt, Shane “Glow Daddy” Duffy, and Nate “The Illuminator” Mullen are hosting a small-group, hands-on training at Nate’s place in Southern California—the first time the 3 Lighting Amigos have done this together since June 2024.
What you get (and why it matters):
Design, Sales, and Install end to end. Real compositions, real demos, real jobs at night.
A proven roadmap to go from “doing lights” to becoming a lighting assassin who closes bigger jobs with confidence.
Weekly group calls (Wednesdays, 8:00 AM CT): early-bird gets calls before the event plus 90 days after bring live deals, designs, objections.
Tight cohort, not a cattle call. Limited seats so you get one-on-one attention and a real inner-circle network.
Meals & evenings included (because we keep training into the night, limo bus site walks, cigars).
Resource vault: photo library, docs, frameworks, the playbooks we actually use.
Early-bird offer (through September 15):
$1,250 or 4 payments of $325 (then it’s $1,600).
Same value, smaller price, more runway on those weekly calls.
Who it’s for:
New guys who want to launch fast and right.
Contractors adding lighting as a real profit center.
Operators stuck under 7-figures who need a system to scale.
Real outcomes from past cohorts: first jobs at 51, 85, 200+ lights and more importantly, repeatable confidence, bigger average tickets, and a network that sharpens you daily.
Lock your spot: LightingTradeSchool.com → Training page → pick pay-in-full or 4-pay.See you on next Wednesday’s call…and in California this February. Don’t be the one scrolling photos with FOMO while the others level up.
