About Us

Hudson Lighting in Ireland

Hudson Lighting Limited was formed in February 2025 and is being established in Cork, Ireland. We are currently recruiting a local team in Ireland, fully supported by our existing UK team and manufacturing base. Our goal is that by the end of 2028 we will begin establishing manufacturing operations in Cork, ensuring redundancy for our UK manufacturing and launching a new range of fittings made in Ireland.

From the founder - Chris Hudson

At Hudson Lighting Ltd., we specialize in creating enduring outdoor lighting solutions that enhance any garden or outdoor space. With over a decade of experience as an electrician installing outdoor lighting for elite landscape gardening firms, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges and requirements of garden lighting.

Driven by a passion for quality and durability, I founded Hudson Lighting in 2017 to address common issues with standard light fittings, such as water ingress, which often required multiple service visits. Our response was to design light fittings that are not just waterproof but completely submersible. This dedication to quality means each light fitting undergoes rigorous underwater testing, ensuring it can withstand the elements and provide reliable, long-lasting illumination.

Our products are meticulously crafted in our Surrey (UK) workshop, where we handle every step of the manufacturing process. From precision machining of stainless steel and aluminum to assembling circuit boards, our skilled team manages all aspects of production. We also plan to bring this manufacturing expertise to Cork by 2028, broadening our capabilities within Ireland as well.

As we grow, our team—currently comprising Chris Hudson, Max Muncey, Cameron Jones, and Jodie Graham—continues to expand. We still handle CNC machining, custom requests up to 65mm in diameter, and undertake thorough testing for each fitting.
