Premier Lighting Acquired by The Perfect Light in Strategic Texas Expansion

DALLAS, TX – December 29, 2025 – In a significant move poised to reshape the specialized lighting and electrical services landscape in Texas, Premier Lighting Enterprises LLC has been acquired by The Perfect Light. The deal, which officially closed on October 3, 2025, was advised by the leading mergers and acquisitions firm Generational Group. The Perfect Light is a key portfolio company of Argonne Capital Group, a private investment firm known for backing growth-oriented businesses.

This acquisition brings together two prominent Texas-based lighting specialists, creating a combined entity with a formidable market presence and an expanded service portfolio. Premier Lighting, based in Van Alstyne, has carved out a niche in providing comprehensive lighting and large-scale Christmas décor solutions for commercial centers, municipalities, and master-planned developments. The Perfect Light, headquartered in Farmers Branch, has over two decades of experience in custom outdoor lighting for more than 30,000 residential and commercial clients across the state's major metropolitan areas.

The strategic rationale behind the acquisition is clear: to leverage The Perfect Light’s established statewide network to fuel Premier Lighting’s expansion into key Texas markets, including Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.

A Strategic Alliance to Illuminate Texas

The partnership between Premier Lighting and The Perfect Light represents a highly synergistic union. Premier Lighting has built a strong reputation for its technical expertise as an electrical contractor and its creative flair in designing, installing, and maintaining complex, large-scale projects. Their work is a familiar sight in commercial hubs and city centers, especially during the holiday season.

Meanwhile, The Perfect Light has cultivated a vast customer base through its focus on custom landscape, architectural, and event lighting. With a robust operational footprint in every major Texas market, the company provides the ideal platform for Premier Lighting to scale its specialized services beyond its North Texas origins.

"For years, I've been looking for a strong partner that could facilitate growth for Premier in other Texas markets,” said Justin Lubbers, President of Premier Lighting Enterprises. “With The Perfect Light having an established presence in every major Texas market, this deal just made perfect sense. It will strengthen our organization and position us to better serve our clients in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio."

Lubbers emphasized his continued dedication to his team and clientele, expressing confidence that the partnership would lead to an enhanced customer experience. "I remain committed to my clients and my team, and together with my new partners, I'm confident we will have an improved client experience," he stated. "I’ll also have the opportunity to expand my passion for all things lighting and Christmas decor!"

Jacob Mangalath, Vice President of M&A at Generational Group, who led the transaction, echoed this sentiment. "From the beginning, it was clear these two companies were a perfect fit as they are totally complementary in their market reach and fully aligned in their vision for growth," he noted.

The Power of Private Equity in Niche Markets

Driving the financial and strategic force behind this expansion is Argonne Capital Group. The Atlanta-based private investment firm, which acquired The Perfect Light in October 2021, operates on a unique model. Unlike traditional private equity funds, Argonne independently capitalizes each investment, affording it greater flexibility in structure and longer, more patient investment horizons.

Argonne has a successful track record of investing in and scaling middle-market companies across various service-based industries, including restaurants, fitness centers, and commercial landscaping. The firm's strategy often involves partnering with strong management teams to provide capital and strategic guidance for sustainable growth. With over $2 billion in equity capital invested since its founding, Argonne’s portfolio companies generate billions in annual sales and employ thousands.

The acquisition of Premier Lighting represents a classic “buy-and-build” strategy, where a private equity firm supports a platform company (The Perfect Light) in acquiring smaller, synergistic businesses to consolidate market share and expand capabilities. Argonne’s involvement signals strong confidence in the growth potential of the specialized lighting sector and provides the combined entity with the resources needed for rapid and strategic expansion.

Illuminating Trends in a Booming Industry

The timing of this acquisition aligns perfectly with powerful trends driving the Texas lighting market. The industry is currently undergoing what analysts call a "revolutionary transformation," fueled by technological advancements and evolving consumer preferences. Homeowners and commercial property managers alike are increasingly investing in sophisticated lighting systems to enhance aesthetics, improve security, and boost energy efficiency.

Key market drivers include the widespread adoption of sustainable LED solutions, which can cut energy consumption by up to 85%, and the integration of smart technology. Modern lighting systems can now be controlled via smartphone apps, voice commands, and automated schedules, offering unprecedented convenience and customization. This demand for intelligent, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing lighting requires a high level of technical expertise and design acumen—qualities that both Premier Lighting and The Perfect Light possess.

The combined company is now exceptionally well-positioned to capitalize on these trends. It can offer a full spectrum of services, from intricate residential landscape lighting to massive municipal holiday displays and complex electrical retrofits, all backed by a statewide service network.

The Art of the Deal: M&A Advisory's Critical Role

Orchestrating such a strategically aligned deal required expert navigation, a role filled by Generational Group. As a leading M&A advisory firm for privately held businesses, Generational specializes in helping founders like Justin Lubbers unlock the full value of their companies and find ideal partners for future growth.

The firm’s process involves deep analysis to identify strategic and financial buyers that align with a client's goals. This transaction is a testament to that approach. "This transaction reinforces our commitment to meaningful partnerships that create lasting results," said Ryan Binkley, CEO of Generational Group. "It brings together partners who share a common vision and are well positioned to achieve continued growth together."

The successful closing, managed by a team including Michael Goss, Jacob Mangalath, and Brennon Dunbar, highlights the importance of professional advisory in navigating the complexities of a business sale. For many founders, an acquisition is not just a financial transaction but the start of a new chapter for the legacy they built. As this new partnership between Premier Lighting and The Perfect Light demonstrates, the right deal can illuminate a path to even greater success and broader impact.
