Bright Future Visual — Now you see it.

Who is Bright Future Visual?
Hello! We’re a lighting design company based in Los Angeles, CA. We provide state-of-the-art design and programming services for nightlife, concerts, conferences, galas, and more.

What’s the intention?
We love light — it’s magic, and we can make it dance. We’re conscientious and steadfast in our commitments, and we’re masters at seeing each project to completion in the most elegant way possible: beautiful, bespoke, efficient.

Who calls the shots?
Our creative director and co-founder, Len Rowe, is a lighting specialist and programmer who began his career in Miami. From serving as lighting director at crobar, Louis, Nocturnal, and Nerve, to being crew chief for the installation of the lighting systems at the Fontainebleau’s nightclubs LIV and Arkadia, to programming lighting shows for some of the music industry’s biggest acts at E11even, the Fillmore Miami Beach, Univision, and Faena Theater, to lighting design for Michael Tilson Thomas’s performances at the New World Center, as well as for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush during the New World Center stop of the 2012 UBS Revitalize America Summit, Len Rowe has been refining his art — design, installation, programming, and performance — for over 20 years. After moving Bright Future Visual to Los Angeles in the fall of 2021, Len served as the lighting director for Dreamstate SoCal’s Sequence Stage. Currently, he’s the lighting director of LA’s state-of-the-art Vermont Hollywood.
