A PatentA Problem Solved

Palms & Poles was born from a simple frustration: why is lighting a palm tree so dangerous, expensive, and temporary? We built the answer.

Origin

The Origin

Every year, homeowners and property managers face the same impossible choice: hire a professional with a bucket truck to light their palms and poles, or skip it entirely. The ladders are dangerous. The bucket trucks are expensive. And after all that effort, the lights come down in January.

Stan Lech, a renowned inventor in the medical products space, set out to solve this for both audiences at once. For the DIY homeowner, the result is a system anyone can install safely from the ground — no experience, no equipment, no risk. For the professional installer, it eliminates the bucket truck, the crew, and the scheduling overhead that eat into every job's margin.

After years of development and a granted U.S. patent, Palms & Poles is now entering commercial development. The mission is simple: make professional-quality palm and pole lighting accessible to every homeowner, resort, municipality, and commercial property in the world — and give professional installers a faster, safer, more profitable way to serve them.
