Protection
Begin at the light and power sources.
The encapsulated lamp and protected socket form the core of the system.
Indoor decorative bodies can then be developed around that interface.
Ventures / Wet Light Systems
Beautiful light engineered for the real world.
A lighting platform is as valuable as the experiences it makes possible.
Wet Light Systems allows light to be less encumbered by outdoor spaces through a sealed and protected lamp-and-socket architecture.
My work with Wet Light Systems connects the patented invention to product families, development priorities and commercial opportunities.

01 / The architectural idea
A protected interface for design freedom
Steve Selak’s original vision began with chandeliers in trees. The platform that was created separates environmental protection from the decorative form, creating a foundation for innovative lighting products.
Assembly
Encapsulate and isolate the system.
Lamp, socket, connection, retention and power are one design unit.
Break free from the standards of old, and design for the future now.
Direction
Infrastructure for the intelligence age
Wet Light can run a common intelligent electrical infrastructure.
Power, data, and protection engineered for the real world.
02 / My contribution
Give the invention an applied direction.
I’m a co-founder and President of Wet Light Systems. I lead product design, strategy, commercialization, partnerships and long-range platform ideation.
The work connects questions that are often handled separately:
- What the should the first product be
- Who it should serve
- What should stay common
- What must be achieved before the next investment
Wet Light Systems is a collaboration of talent, vision and energy.
Steve Selak leads the founding vision and core invention. Henning Zieger leads engineering and manufacturing readiness. My role connects that foundation to a product direction and a route to market.
03 / Peri · Product program
The first expression of Wet Light
Peri translates the platform into a rechargeable, portable family. The design allows for a future-proof serviceability through the system's modular architecture.
Design
Form follows function. Modularity is inherent.
A compact base, serviceable battery and globe lamp establish the silhouette.
A shorter and a taller model explore variable uses and placements through a common design language.
Architecture
One system provides options and freedom.
Shared structural elements connect the exterior to the interio power supply and charging relationship.
Assembly and service strategies are aligned to sustainability requirements.
Status
Peri is ready for a strategic partner.
Peri's design is complete and is in engineering development.
Sizes, ratings, runtimes, certifications and timing to market are confirmed with the licensee.

04 / Platform in application
An illuminated space for an iconic event.
Wet Light Sytems documented the use of its Liam pendants in the outdoor gathering space at the 53rd Annual Annie Awards in February 2026.
The event brief called for suspended decorative light around a mature tree, with less visible clutter.
This installation shows how an experience-led application can benefit from the architecture and the product.
The longer view / Company vision
Connect inside to outside.
The real world is not climate controlled. Wet Light Systems' vision begins with decorative lighting and extends toward a shared environmental electrical platform.
The long-term ambition is an infrastructure layer for intelligent buildings and public spaces: power, data and protection considered together, supporting an ecosystem of compatible connected devices.
This is a development direction, pursued through Wet Light products, partnerships and public support.
05 / Work with Wet Light Systems
Start with a conversation.
The first conversation establishes the applications and markets that are most valuable to the partner. Scope, validation requirements, responsibilities and commercial terms follow from that discussion.
Application partners
Explore a pilot with Wet Light products.
For outdoor venue, hospitality and event teams with a lighting challenge.
Bring the setting, operating constraints and desired experience. Feasibility is assessed before a product is proposed.
Manufacturing Partners
License the platform for your own designs.
For manufacturers with a product, capability and route to market.
Define the application, territory and development responsibilities with our product and engineering team.
Commercial partners
Be the market for the next standard in light.
For partners bringing channels, resources or market access.
Start with an opportunity discussion and requirements for success in your defined market.
The next Step
What would you make next?
Tell me the application, the decision in front of you and the capability you want to incorporate. We’ll establish the next useful step together.
