Tyler Horn

Landscape Lighting Designer

Tyler has been the lead lighting designer on some of the most exclusive properties throughout the Hamptons, New York City, New England, Palm Beach, and the Caribbean. Landscape lighting allows him to create 3D art experiences within a garden at night. His inspiration derives from multiple design fields such as architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, art and most importantly the natural world. Landscape lighting enhances the experience of a home by creating a unique connection to nature’s beauty at night while minimizing the adverse effects of artificial light at night. Tyler serves on the Southampton Town Board of Dark Skies offering his expertise to the community to ensure our rural night skies remain beautiful for us as well as wildlife.

Tyler developed a fascination for light from an early age. Growing up in Sag Harbor, he took up photography as a creative hobby where he could capture mesmerizing sunsets, woodland environments and the captivating landscape scenery of the Hamptons. An opportunity arose to be mentored by one of the pioneers in the landscape lighting industry, Greg Yale, where he spent nearly ten wonderful years learning how to work with light as a medium. Appreciative of that experience he then proceeded to move into the next phase of his career and created Luminism Design in 2017. Since that time he has lead the lighting design of projects large and small encompassing exterior architectural lighting, art lighting, commercial lighting and landscape lighting.
