Outdoor Lighting in Greenville, SC: A Homeowner's Guide|Outdoor Lighting Around Greenville and the Upstate for Homes and Businesses

Outdoor lighting covers more than one job

Ask ten people around Greenville what outdoor lighting means and you will get several answers. For some it is the roof edge, for others the yard, and for some it is the corner nobody can see. They are related jobs with different answers.

The building itself

Permanent outdoor lighting runs a slim LED track along the roofline and eaves, color matched so it disappears in daylight, and controlled from a phone app. That covers Christmas, game days, and every ordinary evening in between.

Landscape, patio and security lighting

Below the roofline, landscape lighting does the walk, the beds and the trees. Patio lighting makes the back of the house usable after dinner. Security lighting handles the dark edges, which is a separate job from the curb appeal work. Accent lighting handles the finish.

How to decide what you need

If the complaint is that the front of the house goes dark, start at the roofline. Trouble getting from the car to the door is a landscape lighting problem. If the complaint is "December is a whole weekend of work", a permanent system answers it. Most properties have more than one of these.

Commercial outdoor lighting around Greenville

On commercial property, the reasons change. A lit facade makes the building findable at night. Outdoor seating only earns its space if it is lit. Parking and walkway lighting is a safety matter, and entry lighting sets the tone for a property before anybody is through the door.

The free consultation

The first visit is a look at the property, not a sales presentation. Expect to be asked how you use the yard and the front of the house after dark. Those answers drive the plan more than a color choice.You should come out of it knowing what is proposed and why. If you cannot, ask again before anybody quotes.A few details get you a more useful first conversation. One story or two. How steep the roof is. How long the driveway runs. Whether there are trees worth lighting. None of it needs to be measured. It just gets the conversation to something useful faster.

Doing it in one plan

The simplest version of this is having one plan for the house and the yard, so the roofline and the walkway are not fighting each other.
