Premium quality of our luxury brand exclusive products

by Mike Gambino

It comes as a surprise to some to find out that a small company like Gambino landscape lighting has manufactured exclusively for us our own brand of premium landscape lighting fixtures that have been designed by us to our specification.

Over the course of the last 10 years or so I have slowly developed, added to , refined and improved the product line as time and finances has allowed me to do so. This venture, as is true of my design build business, has been 100% solely financed by myself. I am proud of this and as far as I know there are no other independent landscape lighting design build companies in Los Angeles or other parts of the country for that matter who have done or are currently doing this.

Some larger manufacturers of landscape lighting products are self professed former lighting contractors. The Gambino product line is produced by a current and practicing landscape lighting design builder giving us the edge to quickly adapt to the ever changing marketplace and demands and desires of our clients.

Because the products are manufactured in relatively small quantities ( when compared to mass production by larger manufacturers) I feel we have better quality control and are better suited to customization and alteration than the majors.

Introducing new products as I see fit without the bean counters of the major manufacturers deciding whether it was cost effective has also given me an edge.

Clients appreciate the limited availability and uniqueness and exclusivity of the line. It is not available all over the internet to anyone with a credit card. You will not find it in lamp, department or big box retail stores. It is only available directly from qualified authorized design build landscape lighting companies who service their projects. Products are developed with the intent to be installed by the professional niche service specialist and not the do it your self, on a weekend project, property owner.

The factory who manufactures our lighting products also builds for a few other high end lighting companies in our industry.  We exclusively use only the highest quality materials like brass, copper and stainless steel making not only our high performance lighting designs, but products, designed and built to last as well.

The ever rising cost of the premium raw materials we use has been a challenge over recent years. I decided that , unlike others, I will not sacrifice quality over price and I know my clients appreciate that. I know it makes a big difference over time. Most majors look for ways to save cost by reducing wall thickness or denseness of materials. Another way is by using light duty plastic stakes in the ground. I use heavy gauge cast brass ground stakes that won’t break or deteriorate with age.

I will never make a fixture from aluminum or composite (plastic) materials just to save money. Not at the cost of quality and longevity.

Wire connections are another area that I will never sacrifice. I use the same brass lug splice kit that I’ve used for the past 12 years without failure. Cheap wire nuts and clip on connectors do not last and will create expensive problems with your landscape lighting system.
