Drawing on more than a decade of industry expertise, Jake Purdy established Purdy Lighting to redefine how luxury lighting is experienced. Jake recognized the need for a lighting destination that delivers the elevated service, product knowledge, and curated selections that designers, builders, architects, and homeowners expect. Our mission is to provide an elevated showroom environment where exceptional design, premium craftsmanship, and personalized service come together to inspire beautiful spaces.

Purdy Lighting was built with the design and trade community in mind. We understand that lighting is one of the most impactful elements of a space, and our team is dedicated to supporting interior designers, builders, and architects through every stage of the project—from concept and specification to final installation. By offering personalized guidance, thoughtfully curated collections, and exceptional attention to detail, we help bring each design vision to life.

Jake has become a trusted resource for custom home builders, architects, and designers through his expertise in low-voltage lighting design. Specializing in architectural LED tape lighting systems, he develops detailed layouts that seamlessly integrate into each home's design while ensuring optimal light output, proper transformer sizing, and long-term performance. From concealed mud-in channels to precise tape selection and load calculations, every detail is thoughtfully engineered to achieve a clean, sophisticated result. This level of technical expertise and design precision has made Purdy Lighting the preferred partner for many luxury custom home builders, who rely on Jake to design the lighting systems for their high-end residences.

While our focus is rooted in serving the trade, Purdy Lighting proudly welcomes homeowners seeking the same high-end experience and expert support typically reserved for design professionals. Whether you're furnishing a custom residence, or managing a large-scale commercial project, our team is committed to providing a seamless and sophisticated experience.

Today, Purdy Lighting is South Florida's premier source for luxury decorative and architectural lighting, built on a commitment to exceptional customer service. We believe every client deserves a personalized, concierge-level experience—from the initial consultation and product selection to lighting design and project completion. By combining industry expertise with attentive, relationship-driven service, we ensure every project is handled with care, precision, and an unwavering dedication to exceed your expectations.
