Coastal Source Demonstrates the Future of Connected Outdoor Living at CEDIA Expo 2026
MOORESTOWN, NEW JERSEY, September 2, 2026
At Booth #2117 and Destination Outdoors, attendees will experience how intelligent lighting, premium outdoor audio, and purpose-built infrastructure extend the connected home beyond its walls.
Coastal Source is showcasing its expanding portfolio of outdoor audio, lighting, and design solutions at CEDIA Expo 2026, demonstrating how professionally designed outdoor living spaces can transform residential properties while creating new opportunities for integrators.
At both Booth #2117 in the Colorado Convention Center and the adjacent Destination Outdoors exhibit area, Coastal Source is highlighting several new solutions designed to elevate the outdoor entertainment experience. Headlining the exhibit is VIA™, the first purpose-built outdoor lighting platform to combine native Lutron® intelligent lighting with Coastal Source’s outdoor-rated architectural fixtures, bringing tunable white light, vibrant color, precision dimming, and dynamic scene control to the landscape.
Also on display are the 1000 Series Bollard speakers, which set a new benchmark for outdoor audio with enhanced clarity, tonal accuracy, and power handling while maintaining the deep, dynamic bass Coastal Source is known for; PowerSource®, the industry’s first UL-certified, plug-and-play line-voltage system engineered for both direct-burial and above-ground outdoor installations; and Design Studio, an interactive platform that brings together planning tools, conceptual design services, real-time consultations, and immersive 3D visualizations.
Attendees can experience how Coastal Source’s latest outdoor audio and lighting innovations work together to create thoughtfully designed outdoor living environments that are as functional as they are beautiful. Designed for long-term performance in demanding environments, the company’s solutions reflect Coastal Source’s commitment to delivering rugged, high-performance outdoor audio and lighting systems that Defy the Elements™.
Created by Coastal Source in collaboration with Lutron, Destination Outdoors returns as one of CEDIA Expo’s signature experiences. Building on the success of last year’s lighting tent, attendees move through a connected journey beginning in an indoor living room featuring Lutron intelligent lighting and automated shading before transitioning into a covered outdoor living space and fully illuminated landscape where VIA extends the Lutron lighting experience beyond the home. Throughout the experience, premium Coastal Source audio, lighting, and power solutions demonstrate how technology can create one coordinated outdoor environment.
“Outdoor living has become one of the most important spaces around the home, and homeowners increasingly expect it to feel as connected and intentional as every room inside,” said Franco D’Ascanio, Founder and CEO of Coastal Source. “At CEDIA we’re showing how audio, lighting, power, and design work together to create exceptional outdoor environments. Our collaboration with Lutron represents a significant step forward, extending native intelligent lighting beyond the home’s walls and giving integrators an entirely new way to design one connected lighting experience.”
Coastal Source will also host a Destination Outdoors Happy Hour from 5:00–7:30 p.m. on September 2, providing attendees with an opportunity to experience the exhibit while connecting with the Coastal Source team and industry peers.
