Jeff Calhoun of FX Luminaire

FX LUMINaire leading producer of top-quality outdoor lighting since 1989

Jeff Calhoun is in his 17th year with FX Luminaire. Currently he is the FX Sales Manager in Northern CA with a territory in the specification markets and field support efforts that includes the SF Peninsula, North Bay, East Bay, South Bay, and Central Coast region down to Santa Barbara County. Jeff is a UC Santa Cruz graduate and holds a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Ashford University.

FX Luminaire has been open for business since 1989. Over the past 31 years, they have earned a reputation as a leading producer of top-quality lighting products through their deep commitment to innovation. FX has transformed landscape and architectural lighting through next-generation lighting control, elegant fixture designs, LED efficiency, and durable material combinations.

FX Luminaire was founded by Joshua Beadle, a landscape contractor from San Diego, California, who was unhappy with the quality of outdoor lighting fixtures available at the time. Existing lighting brands were simply not holding up to the coastal weather. Rather than installing products that were not up to par, he decided to create his own fixtures. In the beginning, Beadle only made fixtures for himself. But over time, other contractors came to recognize the quality of his products and wanted to purchase them for their installations as well. Beadle had to make a choice: become a landscape lighting manufacturer or continue with his landscape contractor business. Thus, FX Luminaire was born.

In 2009, Hunter Industries acquired FX Luminaire. Since then, being part of the Hunter family has given FX Luminaire access to a strong corporate infrastructure with a global reach, significant funding for research and development, and a world-renowned customer support system.

FX Luminaire is dedicated to finding and perfecting new ways to improve outdoor lighting systems. FX offers a variety of low-voltage lighting transformers with varying levels of control to accommodate projects of all scopes, ranging from simple on/off capabilities to next-generation Luxor® technology.

Jeff Calhoun lives in El Dorado Hills, CA with his wife Meghan and two children Abby and Declan. When he is not navigating the highways around Northern California you can find him long distance trail running or paddling the waterways around his home on the western slope of the Sierras. He is a frequent participant in CLCA Central Coast events.
