The Legends Behind The Brand

Co-Founders Jon & Adam

Jon Saeed, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Lighting Legends

Jon Saeed is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Lighting Legends, a UK-based outdoor lighting company known for its premium, weatherproof lighting products. He leads the business’s marketing and brand strategy, overseeing everything from website development to product and packaging design. His mission is to create long-lasting lighting solutions that combine high end design with sustainability.

Jon co-founded Lighting Legends with Adam Wilkins in 2020 after running a successful gardening business for eight years. With a degree in business management and hands-on experience in garden design and landscaping, they spotted a gap in the market: high-quality outdoor lighting that was stylish, durable, and sustainable.

Driven by a frustration with cheaply made, throwaway products dominating the market, Lighting Legends was launched to offer a better alternative - lighting that enhances outdoor spaces while standing up to harsh weather and daily wear.

Since launching, the brand has worked on several high-profile installations including supplying lights for Cristiano Ronaldo’s family home in Madrid, and illuminating the UK’s tallest Christmas tree at Cragside for the National Trust, as seen on the BBC.

A lifelong gardener and outdoor enthusiast, Jon is passionate about creating beautiful, functional environments. He’s also an advocate for sustainability, working to reduce waste and encourage long-term thinking in product development.
