Nex-Gen is a selective dealer network in a category most companies are still trying to figure out. Premium hardware. A proprietary control platform. Territory protection. Brand-grade support. For operators ready to set the standard in their market.
Apply for TerritoryPermanent exterior LED lighting is moving from a niche seasonal alternative to a permanent fixture on premium homes and commercial properties. The category is growing faster than most operators in adjacent trades realize.
But the category is being built by hardware companies. Most operators in the space are competing on price, on rail style, on warranty length — the kinds of things that don't matter once a premium customer has decided what they want.
Nex-Gen is building the category from a different starting point: as a complete system, sold by selective operators, backed by a platform no one else has.
The Nex-Gen dealer network is built around established operators who already serve premium customers and run professional crews. If that describes your business, the rest of this page is for you.
Defined geographic territory protected for active dealers in good standing. You don't compete with other Nex-Gen dealers in your market.
Exclusive access to the Nex-Gen control platform — the competitive moat that separates Nex-Gen installations from every other permanent lighting system in the category.
Dual-voltage RGBW pixel architecture, dealer pricing on the full hardware line, and access to commercial-grade components most operators in the category can't source.
National brand identity, marketing assets, lead-routing infrastructure, and a sales process built around the way premium customers actually buy.
Full operator certification on hardware, installation, the platform, and the sales process. Crews are trained on the same standard nationwide.
Direct access to the Nex-Gen team, regular platform updates, and a dealer community of operators running the same playbook.
Every Nex-Gen install ships with a control platform that most competing systems can't match. For dealers, that means something specific: the demo sells itself.
Premium customers don't compare permanent lighting brands on the rail. They compare them on the experience. When your demo shows what the system actually does — and theirs shows a color picker — the decision is already made.
The platform is proprietary, continuously developed, and available exclusively to certified Nex-Gen dealers. It is the single largest reason new dealers close the customers they used to lose.
Nex-Gen is structured as a dealer network — not a franchise, not a reseller program. The model is built to align the interests of dealers, the brand, and the customers we both serve over the long term.
Protected geographic market, awarded based on fit and capacity.
Required training and certification before first install.
Brand, installation, and service standards enforced across the network.
Ongoing access to the proprietary control platform and updates.
Every new Nex-Gen dealer completes certification on the full system — hardware, installation methodology, the control platform, and the sales process — before installing their first system.
Ongoing support runs through direct channels with the Nex-Gen team. Platform updates, hardware revisions, sales playbooks, and operational standards are pushed to the dealer network continuously. You're not figuring this out alone.
Hardware, install, platform, and sales — before your first job.
To the Nex-Gen team, not a support portal. Dealers talk to operators.
The platform evolves. Your capability grows. Your competitive edge compounds.
Nex-Gen awards territory based on operator fit, market capacity, and the long-term standard we want to set in each region. Once a territory is awarded, it's protected — and we are deliberate about how quickly we open new markets.
If your market is open, your application moves quickly. If your market is already awarded, we'll tell you directly. If your market is one we're prioritizing for expansion, the conversation moves faster than that.
No. Nex-Gen is a dealer network, not a franchise. Dealers are independent operators who have been certified, awarded territory, and granted access to the Nex-Gen hardware line and proprietary control platform. The structure is built to align long-term interests without the regulatory and operational overhead of a franchise model.
The strongest Nex-Gen dealer candidates are established operators in adjacent exterior service categories — landscape lighting, holiday lighting, exterior contracting, home improvement, hardscape, or specialty residential services — with active crews, existing premium clientele, and the operational maturity to absorb a high-ticket product line.
Specific onboarding investment varies by territory size, scope of training, and initial inventory commitment. These details are reviewed during the qualification process and scoped to each market. Apply for territory to begin the conversation.
Yes. Active dealers in good standing operate within a defined, protected geographic territory. Nex-Gen does not award overlapping territory to multiple dealers in the same market.
The Nex-Gen control platform is built as a system, not as a companion utility. It is proprietary, continuously developed, and available exclusively to certified Nex-Gen dealers and their installed customers. The platform is the primary reason new dealers close customers who were previously evaluating competing systems.
Full certification timing depends on operator background and market readiness. New dealers complete hardware, installation, platform, and sales-process certification before installing their first Nex-Gen system. The Nex-Gen team works with each dealer to compress the timeline without compromising the standard.
Yes, lead routing from Nex-Gen's national brand and SEO presence is part of the dealer support infrastructure. Dealers also receive marketing assets, sales playbooks, and local SEO support. That said, the most successful Nex-Gen dealers also operate active local sales efforts of their own — Nex-Gen leads compound the dealer's pipeline, they don't replace it.
