At Lunar Telephone Company, we work across design, engineering, live entertainment, themed attractions, and general creative madness — which means we trade a lot of files. And few things grind our gears faster than receiving something named ‘image1.jpg’ with zero context and no clue when it was made.

Boosting the Signal

#SignalBoost

Starting this month and continuing as an experiment for the next 12 months, we’re launching a simple initiative: when we post about a meaningful cause, milestone, or cultural moment on social media, we’ll make a small but intentional donation to a nonprofit organization aligned with that message. It won’t be massive—we’re a small company, after all. But it will be consistent. And we hope it adds up, not just in dollars, but in awareness, in advocacy, and in the example it sets.

Strategic Wandering

Not every meeting needs a boardroom. And not every brainstorm needs a whiteboard. Sometimes the best ideas surface between bites of pani puri or halfway through a cocktail. That’s the beauty of creative partnership: when trust is high and pressure is low, ideas have room to breathe… and grow. (unintentional rhyme)

How Custom Color-Mixing LEDs Are Made

Whether it’s faux neon bending around a storefront arch or pixels animating a building-sized display, these components are the hidden heroes of immersive storytelling. Each strand represents hundreds of precise steps—from robotic pick-and-place to hand soldering and waterproof testing. It’s not just about light. It’s about craftsmanship, durability, and the strange joy of seeing imagination take shape in circuits and color.

WFB: Work From Beach

At Lunar Telephone Company, our work isn’t bound by four walls. Sometimes it’s a construction site. Sometimes it’s a rooftop. And sometimes - it’s a strip of coastline, with a battery pack and the smell of sunblock.

AI Art??

As Lunar Telephone Company continues to grow, we’re exploring a wide range of creative tools — including emerging technologies like generative AI. We’re using it to create playful visual content for blog posts and occasionally just to make ourselves laugh. It’s a part of our R&D — not a replacement for real artistry.

Lunar?  Telephone?

Lunar? Telephone?

The idea of a ‘telephone company’ on the moon is absurd, and we love that. But when you think about it, we actually are in the business of connecting people — not through copper wires, but through experiences, light, sound, and story.

With the same team and passion, we’re expanding our work in lighting, media, and immersive storytelling for themed entertainment, live experiences, and architecture. Our new name nods to retro-futurist optimism and cosmic curiosity - imaginative, a little weird, and fully us. We’re still grounded in technical excellence and collaborative design, just aiming a little higher. 🚀
