I really can't say enough good about this company and the top notch professionals here. I have been a client for over 25 years and they consistently have delivered outstanding products, great customer service, super and thoughtful design ideas, and super responsive.
My most recent experience was part of my outdoor deck project where I wanted to have the same quality lighting consistent with all of my current landscape lighting - versus solar lighting. It involved some new technology and products. From the initial outreach and meeting with Brian on design to the follow on communication with Kevin regarding the expected dates that I needed them based upon the deck project all the way to actual installation with Matt it was like an orchestra production.
Matt is a perfectionist and makes sure that the lighting is placed correctly and smooth to the eye visually. He is open to share his ideas but always defers to the homeowner. He worked well with the deck contractors to make sure they were not delayed but at the same time stayed on a good timeline for the lighting as that was the final piece of the project. He pointed out some things only a professional could do and was easy to work with throughout. Could not be happier with the final result - again!
Having been living in Raleigh since 1999 this is one of the only companies I have continued to do business with and will continue to do so. I don't even consider checking the competition or getting another quote. I would highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting to anyone. Whether you are a first time customer or a long time customer you will get high quality, great communication, and service they stand behind should it be needed.

Carolina outdoor lighting recently did a project on our house and it looks awesome! I’m so pleased with the results!! After talking to them on the phone, they told me they do night consults where they give you an idea of what your house would look like etc. Doug came out and I was sold! They worked with us on how many lights and really made it work amazingly and with less lights than others quoted!
We plan to add additionally lights later on and I’ll definitely be calling them! If you’re looking for landscape lighting, look no further!

They did a great job on replacing and servicing my lights.

Communication was excellent throughout the project, and the crew was courteous and respectful of our property. We are extremely pleased with the final result and would highly recommend them to anyone considering outdoor lighting.

This is the 2nd time we’ve used Carolina Lighting. I can’t say enough about their professionalism or work. Always on time, always polite, always a great product. We will use them again!

We had Carolina Outdoor Lighting install all of the lighting in the front of our home as well as around our backyard and pool area, and we could not be happier with the results. The entire experience was outstanding from start to finish.
Eric and Kevin were both wonderful to work with—professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure everything turned out perfectly. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and offered great suggestions that truly elevated the look of our home.
The quality of their work is exceptional. Our outdoor spaces look absolutely beautiful, and the lighting has completely transformed the atmosphere of both the front of our home and our pool area. The attention to detail and craftsmanship really set them apart.
If you’re considering outdoor lighting, I cannot recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting enough. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful for their hard work and expertise!

Matt, came today to fix a wiring problem, that just occurred, years after my initial installation. He was great!! They really stand behind their work! I'd strongly recommend this company.
TONY D.
They did a fantastic job! I was impressed from the introductory call (I discovered them with a google search) to the demo lighting to the final installation. They answered all questions, provided excellent feedback, and truly put in the effort to make the final design look as professional and beautiful as possible. I would confidently recommend them to anyone who is looking to beautify their home and enhance the functional outdoor lighting.

COPL was a great company to work with from start to finish. They really listened to what we wanted and worked with us to create a wonderful result within our budget. The crew was incredibly friendly and they did a wonderful job cleaning up after themselves.
Steven K.
I’ve been using these guys for over 10 years. Always friendly, thorough and professional. They installed almost 20 lights for us, and in the rare occasion we’ve had problems (usually our fault), they are quick to come back out and fix whatever we’ve broken. Their prices are competitive and their service techs are top notch. Can’t say enough good things about them.
P L.
I have used COL on 2 houses now and they never disappoint. They have insightful creative suggestions, they are reasonably priced and dependable. Did a great job and I highly recommend them
Great crew!

I had some issues with my programmer and the landscape lights not coming on at the right time. Patrick at Carolina Outdoor came out and reprogrammed the unit and checked all my lights to let me know which were out. Later that day the lights came on during the day and I called them back at 6pm and Patrick returned my call. Long story short the unit is not functioning properly any longer (and it was programmed correctly) and a new programmer unit is needed. Through talking to me Patrick suggested something even simpler.. a photocell unit that simply senses night/day. I really appreciate a business who listens to you and provides solutions that meet my needs. And to call me back after hours was really impressive and much appreciated bc of course I’m thinking dang you were just here! Anyway, my experience with Carolina outdoor was all excellent … all the staff I interacted with were super courteous, knowledgeable, came on time and a fair price. Def will use them for all future needs.
pete V.
Great company with the best team around. They are always so responsive and friendly.
Leslie L.
We had a great experience with Carolina Outdoor Lighting. There were several issues with our current lighting system, due to construction projects we had done, and Carolina Outdoor Lighting came out and fixed the problems in a short period of time. Very responsive and professional.
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!
Update: 5/21/26
We decided to have some upgrades done to the mediocre existing lighting that was done by another company at the front of our house. Carolina Outdoor Lighting was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to ensure the changes we made were perfect. We were able to reduce costs significantly by upgrading the lamps in our existing fixtures instead of buying brand new fixtures. It is clear that they care about their customers and doing quality work. They are very honest and upfront about offering ways clients can work within their budget while still achieving a great end result. Shout out to Austin for doing an excellent job!
Regan E.
Austin walked me through how to troubleshoot and reset my system over the phone. Great customer service!
Kevin R.
The whole team at Carolina Outdoor has been amazing to work with including Matt for the nighttime demo and Parker for the install. Their level of customer service has been exceptional. The lighting looks fantastic and I wish I'd contacted them sooner! Highly recommend this company!
Whit B.
Smooth process from first visit to final installation. The installers were great. Took care during the process and everything works as expected. We really like the way the front of our house is lit up. We highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting.
Martyn C.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting delivered an incredible service. They were very flexible and accommodated our changing schedule. Their sales team were knowledgeable and advised/recommended on products to really enhance the curb appeal or our home. On the day of installation the service team arrived on time and were professionals and true experts in their trade. We could not have asked for more!
J.D. G.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting has installed tremendous up-lighting for me on two different properties. They are highly professional and the quality of the work creates a dramatic impact on your home. I highly recommend their services.
Kathy P.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals did a beautiful job on my outdoor lighting. The first night it was on it took my breath away. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Eric did a wonderful job of designing the lighting and Austin’s team was definitely the A-Team.
Jermaine D.
Today Parker and Josue installed lighting at home these guys are amazing...
Cheryl H.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals did a fantastic job illuminating our home just the way I had envisioned. With our home being multiple levels in the backyard it made lighting a little more challenging, however Austin and his team were able to make it work beautifully. I would highly recommend this company as they were all very professional, timely and great to work with.
