When you order a custom light from Moonshine Lamp Co., you’re not just buying a fixture. You’re getting a piece of craftsmanship, designed, built, and shipped by one person—me, Rob Lewbel. No assembly lines, no mass production, no overseas factories. Just one guy, a whole lot of tools, and an obsession with turning raw materials into custom lighting that makes people stop and say, “Wow!”
I started my career in the movie business, working in set lighting, where I learned a thing or two about how to make things look good on screen. But as much as I loved the industry, I found myself craving something more—something I could build with my own hands, where creativity wasn’t limited by a script or a director’s vision. I wanted to create lighting designs that people would actually live with and be inspired by, fixtures that would become part of their everyday stories.
So, I took a leap, set up my own shop, and started making custom lights. Not the kind you find in big-box stores, but custom lighting with character, soul, and a story behind it. And when I say I do everything, I mean everything. When you call Moonshine Lamp Co., I’m the guy who answers the phone. When you place an order, I’m the one sketching the lighting design, sourcing the materials, cutting, building, wiring, and assembling. And when it’s all said and done, I’m the guy packing it up, labeling it, and shipping it out. There’s no “customer service department”—there’s just me, making sure every single piece is something I’m proud to send out into the world.
Is it an easy path? Not even close. Some days, it’s a grind. Designing, building, marketing, accounting—I wear every hat in this business, and sometimes, they don’t all fit. But then I get an email from a customer telling me how much they love their new custom light fixture, how it completely changed the vibe of their space, how they smile every time they walk into the room. And that? That makes every late night, every challenge, and every sawdust-covered day worth it.
This isn’t just a business for me—it’s personal. It’s about creating something meaningful, something lasting. Every custom light fixture that leaves my shop isn’t just a product; it’s a piece of my story, crafted by my hands and built to illuminate yours.
So, if you’re looking for a custom light fixture that’s mass-produced and made by the thousands, I’m probably not your guy. But if you want custom lighting that’s unique, built with passion, and made by someone who genuinely cares about every single detail—welcome to Moonshine Lamp Co. I can’t wait to make something special for you.
