Expert Residential Lighting Design and Installation

Every residential Low Voltage LED lighting system we install is a blend between our customers’ vision and our design expertise. Lighting the architectural features of your home is not only beautiful but provides safety and function as well. Lighting your landscapes, patios, walkways, ponds, pools, and decks expands the living space to the outdoors and lets you enjoy your property well into the night. We achieve this typically by coming out to the customers’ residences and providing a FREE Evening Demonstration. This process allows us to combine our design expertise with the customers’ vision to achieve the desired look that best showcases their home. We consider this the equivalent of a LIGHTING TEST DRIVE. The demonstration allows our customers to work with us to achieve the best look for the home and one that makes them feel comfortable.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals Warranty

  • Residential Customers: Enjoy a lifetime warranty on all light bulbs
  • Light Fixtures and Low Voltage Transformers: Covered by a lifetime warranty for all customers

Security Lighting

Wouldn’t you just love it if you could accentuate your home structure in a smart way that makes everything look better when it’s dark outside? Security lighting is one of the most important types of outdoor lighting, but residential lighting is certainly not limited to that. Security lighting can help deter criminals from targeting your home and it can also help you see what’s going on around your property at night.

Path Lighting

Path lighting installation is perfect for illuminating pathways and walkways on your property. It can also be used to highlight features such as gardens or water features. Path lighting typically comes in the form of low-voltage lights that are mounted on metal or plastic stakes.

Landscape Lighting Installation Methods

All of our installations are built for longevity and durability. We use high-quality American-made fixtures manufactured in North Carolina and the highest-quality transformers, wires, connectors, and LED bulbs available. During each installation, we pay special attention to the depth of our cable in grass areas to eliminate concerns about cut lines during aeration. Our slit trenching methods cause minimal disturbance to the turf, as the soil is not lifted above the turf surface onto the grass. Around the home and flowerbeds, we try to remain close to the architecture or close to the edge of the flowerbeds to alleviate concerns of a cut line during planting. We trench and staple down all wires to minimize resurfacing through soil and mulch. All of our connections are hard-wired using industrial-grade wire nuts filled with a specially formulated electrical joint compound to resist corrosion and enhance conductivity. Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals Inc. does NOT use any “quick connect” cable connectors.

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.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting lit up my house and the trees in my backyard. Both look great. The guys are very responsive and have delivered excellent customer service.

We had a great experience with the team. The installation was professional, completed on schedule, and the quality of the work exceeded our expectations. The lighting design highlights our home's best features while improving safety and visibility at night. 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.
Pattie S.
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!

After years of admiring other outdoor lighted landscapes and homes, we finally got around to wanting to add a little magic to our own homestead. The pros at Carolina Outdoor Lighting fixed us up right! Professional (as it says in their name), courteous, creative and thorough- they will make your home look like an estate- rewarding you with it’s handsome look every time your family, neighbors and friends visit. If you want to add some curb appeal - don’t mess around. Give them a call and get it done right!

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.
Bernie H.
Great people. Their work was neat and after they were done you could not tell where the wires were placed. The house looks awesome
