The outdoor lighting work we do for your property is all about doing a quality job that transforms your property, increases value, and increases the curb appeal.
Professional Outdoor Lighting Installation
There’s no “one-size-fits-all” outdoor lighting plan, nor should there be. At Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals, we customize and tailor your outdoor lighting design to your property and your needs. All of our systems are designed at night — this way both you and the design team can see exactly how the system will look once its finished, allowing you to “test drive” the system before you purchase it.
Lighting Products
In the long run, the most expensive lighting system you can purchase is the one that doesn’t end up working. That’s why we at Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals use the best quality products for your outdoor lighting system, made right here in America and accurately configured for your system.
Exterior Lighting Installation
Our crew employs only the very best people and that’s because we stake our reputation on ensuring quality installations on your home or business property. Our installs are professional, efficient, and neat. We safely install all underground cabling and replace landscaping to ensure that you can’t see where the lines are buried. Our customers often choose a digital timer for controlling the system and a low voltage transformer is installed on all of our systems.

We have used Carolina outdoor lighting for years, at home and our lake house. When we moved this summer, we were thrilled to see that they had installed lighting at our new home as well! Recently we had them come out to expand on the lighting footprint and they are always so responsive, and do such great work. We have always left the design in their capable hands and they never let us down. Thanks again for another awesome job! Can’t recommend these folks enough.

We had a terrific experience with Carolina Outdoor Lighting. I learned of them from signs in a nearby neighborhood and some internet research. What caught my eye was their 5 Star Google Rating - and our experience was indeed 5 Star.
The owner Eric came out to our house to walk our property and make suggestions. He responded with a same-day estimate.
From there, Kevin was in contact with us for an install date. The team actually got us an earlier date than originally thought.
Finally, Austin and crew showed up and did an incredibly professional job. The lights are wonderful and really make our house and trees stand out. And the team left the grounds and beds in better condition than when they arrived.
The lights were a Christmas present for my wife - and she loves them. She even said it’s the best Christmas present she’s ever gotten.
Thanks to the whole team!
Daniel K.
Exceptional experience from start to finish. Communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. It’s clear they value long-term relationships over quick wins. Highly recommend working with them. Thanks Mike and Kevin!
Jessica G.
Austin and his team at Carolina Outdoor Lighting were absolutely phenomenal! They took my husband's vision and brought it to life! We couldn't be happier with our beautifully lit backyard! We will recommend them to everyone who asks! Thanks again to everyone at Carolina Outdoor Lighting, especially Austin.
Guilherme A.
We highly recommend them! They did a great job around our home!
MARIE C.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting has been very helpful in assisting us to update our 20 year old landscape lighting in the front and back yard. I feel they incorporated improvement with using whatever was still viable in the old system. Their work was proficient, neat and timely, I would highly recommend them.
Wil R.
What a huge difference it made when we had our lights installed by Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals! Our house was dark since there are no street lights close by. When they setup the demo to show us, we were sold. Not only does it look amazing, it provides functional lighting to our front lawn with the light bounce back from house. We’re glad we went with Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals, we are very happy with the results. Thank you guys!
Karina O.
We had an excellent experience with Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals from start to finish. Their team was extremely professional, punctual, and communicative throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation, they took the time to understand what we were looking for, offered thoughtful recommendations, and stayed within our desired budget.
On the day of installation, the team arrived on time and worked efficiently, providing continuous updates as the project progressed. In just 3-4 hours, they completely transformed our backyard, and the final result exceeded anything we could have imagined!
Even though our project was relatively small in scale, they treated it with the same level of care, attention, and professionalism as a much larger job. The customer service was outstanding, and the quality of the work truly shows.
A special shoutout to Kevin, Greg, and Eric, who were fantastic throughout the entire project, especially when it came to recommendations, communication, and overall execution. We could not be happier and would highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals to anyone considering investing in backyard or patio lighting.
Andy K.
We have had a great experience with these guys. We moved into a house with an existing lighting system that no longer worked. They designed a new plan that incorporated as much of the old system as possible. The result was a much improved design at a more affordable price. After we had some additional landscaping done, they came back and quickly implemented a new design to perfectly match the landscaping. These guys are professional and great to work with. Highly recommended.

Our beautiful historic condo building in downtown Raleigh, The Cotton Mill, is more beautiful with Carolina Outdoor Lighting!! We have been happy customers for about 10 years and they have been very attentive and service oriented since we started with them. Ride by the property at 614 Capital Blvd. to see for yourself!!
Lisa P.
We have been using Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals for years now...and Mike is the best, making our yard look beautiful! Both my husband and I enjoy gardening and being outside...and wanted to enhance the beauty of our yard with warm illumination. Over the years, as we have continued evolving our yard to fit where we are in our lives, Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals continue to meet our needs, advising further enhancements to our original lighting.
They are creative, honest, professional experts who never fail to make us happy. We would not trust anyone else with our lighting needs!
Taylor C.
We had a great experience with Carolina Outdoor Lighting. We had some bistro lights added to our deck and some decorative and functional lights added to the stairs on the deck and down the driveway. They were very communicative throughout the process and when there was a weird issue with the bistro lights post-install (super rare) they didn't stop until it was perfect.
Dimitry S.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting was awesome to work with! They gave great advice on what would look best and helped with the perfect placement of the lights. They stayed within my budget but still made my house look amazing. The whole process was easy, and the results are even better than I expected. Highly recommend!
Yisenia R.
I absolutely love my new bistro lights! Carolina Outdoor Lighting did an outstanding and very professional job. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and the final result transformed my space. I couldn’t be happier — highly recommend this company!
Michael C.
We recently hired Carolina Outdoor Lighting to install lighting around our home. They are truly professional and experts at what they do. The complimentary demo worked great to help us decide what we wanted. Their installation team did an outstanding job. Highly recommend them!
Brice E.
These guys are the best... period. I've used them now 3x in 10 years and trust their quality work and advice. You certainly feel safer driving up to a well lit house and the aesthetics are great too. Any problems and they are there within a short time to service and repair or upgrade. My best advice is go with the full compliment of lights the 1st time and enjoy.
JT's C.
From the first phone call to the instillation and adjustments, Carolina Outdoor Lighting has been excellent to work with. They came and did an evening demonstration at my request prior to our decision. Our home looks amazing at night, so warm and inviting. They are very professional and accomodating. I couldn't recommend them more. Use them - you won't be disappointed!
Roger W.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting has completed two installations for us, and both experiences have been excellent. Their team provided a thoughtful design that truly enhances our landscaping, and the installation was handled with professionalism and attention to detail.
What sets them apart is their outstanding after‑sale service. As our yard has evolved with new plantings and changes, they have been responsive and efficient in handling cut wires, relocations, and adjustments. The same level of care and expertise we saw during the initial installation carries through to their ongoing support.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting combines creative design, quality workmanship, and reliable follow‑up service. We are very pleased with their work and highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor spaces.
Kim K.
We are so happy we had Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals install our lights! Our house went from dark and unseen at night to beautiful and elegant. We have trees in front of our house which offer awesome privacy when out on our front porch, but the trees also made our house very dark at night. Now we can see our house and are welcomed by the gorgeous glow when we arrive home at night. Neighbors and friends are already saying how beautiful our house is with the lights. The crew at Carolina Outdoor Lighting was wonderful to work with from beginning to end! Very professional and kind. Kevin explained everything at the first conversation. It was a pleasure to meet Doug during the free demo session, which was key for us to see how many lights we wanted on our front trees. Austin contacted us before coming out for the install to explain timing and expectations. The install day went seamlessly and we are so happy with the outcome! All wiring is hidden and our yard was left in excellent condition - they cleaned up the small amount of branches that needed to be trimmed for lights to be installed next to the house. We had a light installed on the side of our front steps for a corner column and it’s amazing how you cannot see any wiring at all! Truly impressed by the installation crew! We highly recommend this company if you are looking for professional lighting for your home!
Susan R.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting was highly professional, expert, and courteous. So nice to deal with people who really know what they're doing!
Lance T.
To say we have been satisfied is an understatement . With over 100 outdoor lights of various application I can say the quality and durability has been fantastic. However, what sets them apart as an outdoor lighting company is their incredible service and ongoing support. They are quick with any repairs which have all been covered by warranty and they are courteous and friendly every time . Very good people who can be trusted with your outdoor lighting!
Kelly S.
Excellent service and customer service! Beautiful low voltage lighting.
Ron M.
The entire team is outstanding—professional, responsive, and efficient. They provide quick turnaround times and go above and beyond, even handling warranty concerns and bulb replacements with ease. I highly recommend them, and the results have made our home look incredible
rena vassiliou W.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting exceeded my expectations from start to finish! From the first consultation to the final installation, they were professional, attentive, and easy to work with. They arrived on time, and I really appreciated how quickly they responded to every question and message. The crew paid attention to every detail, making sure the placement of each light enhanced the look of my home. The transformation is incredible—my house looks beautiful and welcoming at night. It’s clear they take pride in their work, and the quality shows. I would highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting to anyone looking to add both beauty and functionality to their home.
Jeffrey S.
Super happy with Carolina Outdoor Lighting. Did an install about 8 years ago. System has worked flawlessly until one day a light went out. The company dropped off a new light for me to replace it, no charge. It didn’t work. The company then came back out to troubleshoot and found damage to wiring as a result of some landscape edging that was installed recently. Again, no charge. System works flawlessly again. Would highly recommend this company for their products, installation, communication, and service.
Cary C.
We’ve been working with this company for years and they never cease to amaze me with their professionalism, not to mention the gorgeous lighting concepts they offer. We spruced up our existing lighting for an upcoming outdoor wedding at our home and we could not be happier with the results! Love these guys!
Douglas J.
This is a high quality group. From the initial review and suggestions, thru a demonstration (temporary setup one evening), and finishing with the installation and follow up, we have nothing but high regards for this company and their crew(s).
Bobby G.
If you are considering landscape lighting you need not look any further. Beginning with the first phone conversation to the completion of the project…very well done. I guess I have to use the word…Excellent!
Molly S.
We had another wonderful experience with Carolina outdoor lighting at our new home! We are repeat customers for a reason- the team is incredibly professional, organized and does a great job!
Lori J.
Great experience with installation and maintenance support thereafter. I enjoy sitting on my front porch at night. The lighting also improves the curb appeal of the house in my neighborhood. Glad I chose Carolina Outdoor Lighting for this project!
Wayne S.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting is outstanding! The quality of their work speaks for itself. They were on time, easy to communicate with from start to finish, and even after installation. All the way around, there’s none better
Kevin S.
This was the second installation Carolina Outdoor Lighting has done at my home. Kevin was great by coming out and showing us options, and Austin did a great installation. We are very happy with the results and appreciate the great communication at each stage.
Bill L.
Awesome experience from the initial call, to the night time demo, to install. Everything went smoothly and the finished product looks amazing! Highly recommend to anyone looking. Communication was remarkable and prices were very fair.
Nicole H.
Thank you Austin, Kevin, Doug and Parker. What an amazing crew! From beginning to end they not only provided a wonderful lighting system, but the professionalism and work ethic is impeccable! The beauty of the lighting system is unmatched and we are extremely pleased. We will see you soon for more lights.
Karen P.
We had a great experience with COLP. They were quick to respond to our request for service, thorough with their inspection of our current system, and helpful to suggest how we could enhance it. They installed supplemental lights, and we love the results. Highly recommend!
Zekiye H.
This is a great company to choose for your outdoor lighting project. They offer a night demo (rare to find) so you can see the finished project ahead of time, which is a big plus! Kevin helped meet our budget, and Austin was patient explaining the system operation, as well as following up several times to make sure we were happy. What more could one ask for! Thank you to all that was involved. Highly recommend.
Patrick D.
We wanted to thank Carolina outdoor lighting professionals for the great job they did on our house it looks amazing. So glad we decided to go with their company. The free demo they offer is amazing. It showed us exactly what look we were trying to accomplish. Thanks Doug. Parker and his crew that installed the lights we’re great to work with, very knowledgeable answered all my questions. Thanks again for everything. I will definitely recommend your company to anyone who asks about the lights at our house. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟stars review
Heather L.
We had a wonderful experience with Carolina Outdoor Lighting installing accent lighting on our arborvitaes and various other trees. From start to finish they were consistently prompt and helpful. We appreciate that Greg went above and beyond to troubleshoot issues we were having with our existing bistro lighting from another company on the day of install. We will definitely be contacting them for any future lighting needs!
Charles J.
Great experience all around. The work was done quickly and professionally. Everyone I had the privilege to meet or speak with was wonderful. They are all very knowledgeable about the work they do. Very kind and friendly. Made sure to call the next day to ensure I was happy with the finished product. Will recommend them to everyone!
David J.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professional did an amazing job installing the lights on our home. Other companies were not able to light our house across the entire front because of the three car garage. Carolina Outdoor Lighting was able to light across the front of the garage by installing lights within the concrete driveway. Those driveway lights took the look to the next level. We are very pleased and now planning our next lighting project.
Lana L.
We are so happy with Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals! They were efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the whole process. Our home feels warmer and more inviting. A huge thank you to the team—highly recommend!
Lawrence C.
I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and integrity of the Carolina Outdoor Lighting team at all stages. The quality of the lighting system is first-class in every way. Highly recommended.
glenn W.
I recently needed some outdoor patio lighting on short notice for an upcoming party. I reached out to a few companies and only one company answered the phone with a live person, Carolina Ourdoor Lighting. Kevin took my call and answered all my questions and scheduled a consultation for the next morning. One of the two owners came out the next day and and designed a wonderful look that fit my need perfectly. Even though their schedule was full, they worked me in and had my lights installed for my party the upcoming weekend. I could not be more satisfied with their customer service and individual attention I received from this company. I highly recommend them for any outdoor lighting needs
stack B.
5 stars! Carolina Outdoor was responsive and so easy to work with. We will call them again for our next project
Kim K.
Parker and the team were efficient, polite and great to work with. Would highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting.
Joe N.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals installed our landscape lighting many years ago. They came out and set up a demo so we could see what the system would look like before they installed it and made sure we were satisfied every step of the way. The design they suggested is beautiful and the system has operated flawlessly for many years. When we need occasional service, they are prompt and professional. Highly recommend.
