Professional Outdoor Lighting Design and Installation in Sanford
Since 2003, Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals Inc. has been delighting customers in Lee County with beautiful custom exterior lighting installations. Whether it’s your home or business, we create outdoor lighting systems that complement your property perfectly.
Our installations are about more than increasing your curb appeal and property value, they’re about creating something you can be proud of. When you hire us to install one of our systems, your home will look just as good at night as it does during the day.
Outdoor Lighting Services in Sanford
Before we begin installing your new exterior lighting system, we’ll perform an evening demonstration so you can see just how transformative outdoor lighting can be. Your final lighting system is installed during the day, but it is generally designed and tested at night so we can see how everything looks as we go.
Quality Lighting Products
To make sure you’re able to enjoy your landscape lighting system for years to come, we only use the highest-quality, low-voltage led lighting. In addition, all of our fixtures are made in America. Quick fixes and shortcuts are never part of our process.
Installing Your Landscape Lighting System
You’ll also see our commitment to quality in our installation process. Our crews are always professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. We take extra care to ensure minimal disruption of your lawn, gardens, and flowerbeds with special techniques that leave your property exactly the way we found it. In fact, many of out customers tell us they can’t tell where we dug!
Outdoor Lighting for Your Home
An exterior lighting system allows your home to look as good at night as it does during the day. Our residential landscape lighting systems complement your home’s architecture perfectly and allow you to spend more time enjoying outdoor features like pools, ponds, docks, and patios. A professional outdoor lighting system can also increase your home’s value and curb appeal.

Commercial Exterior Lighting
Drawing more attention to your business is as easy as having a commercial outdoor lighting system installed.

Our low-voltage LED systems are surprisingly affordable and are a great addition to any business or office.
We could not be happier with Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals!! They installed landscape lighting in our front and back yards and from start to finish the experiences have been exceptional. Their landscape lighting design has completely transformed our property. The crew members were courteous, respectful and the installation was done efficiently and with attention to detail. We enjoy our patio even more now when relaxing in the evening with the lights highlighting the landscape. Our entire home looks stunning at night due to the lighting for which we have received so many compliments. We highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals, they do amazing work!!. You will not be disappointed!.

I had such a great experience with Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals. From the very first conversation, they were warm, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. I loved that they did a nighttime demo so I could actually see the design before committing because it made the whole process feel thoughtful and stress free. Their team showed up when they said they would, kept me in the loop, and treated my home with so much care. The finished lighting completely transformed the space. It feels welcoming, polished, and honestly just beautiful. I have noticed they have many repeat customers and now I see why. They stand behind their work, respond quickly if you need anything, and truly go above and beyond. I am so happy with the whole experience and would gladly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space.

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!

Praising Carolina Outdoor Lighting for their initial install of my beautiful home lighting but also for addressing my need in replacing/resetting my system battery and adding additional lighting. You acted fast in meeting my requests, doing so professionally, affordably and beautifully. There’s nothing better than feeling supported by a company who got your business years ago, but is available at a moments notice when an issue arises. Thank you for going above and beyond!

Carolina Lighting did a job for me 3 years ago. It was primarily a highlighting of landscaping I was so happy with the results I asked them to come back for another project. I can't say enough good things about this company. They are professional, polite and thorough. If you are not sure what you what or how to achieve the end goal they offer great suggestions. They then follow up to make sure all is well. I would say they are one of Raleigh's best.
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.
LF L.
We were referred to Carolina Outdoor Lighting by our new neighbor, who had used them to install their lighting some years ago. What an awesome experience! Professional, knowledgeable, personable and oh-so-competent at what they do! Our house and backyard now look beautiful and elegant at night! Thank you, Austin, Justin, Justin and Bryce: you guys are all so easy (and fun!) to work with. Thank you, again, and keep your eyes peeled for those bald-headed eagles....
Guilherme A.
We highly recommend them! They did a great job around our home!

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!

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.
John D.
These guys did a great job lighting my house. They were very responsive and easy to work with throughout the process and did everything they said they would do. The nighttime demo was helpful in selecting the right setup. Austin and his crew were very professional (and careful) with the installation. They also followed up to make sure I was satisfied and made a few adjustments to dial things in. I highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting.
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!
Scott H.
M8ie and Matt never fail to impress
Jason P.
I can't say enough good things about these guys. So for the last I would say 5-7 years we have been doing the solar powered low voltage lights to light up our sidewalk and one other area. We were ALWAYS frustrated that the lights would usually not last the night, after about 6-8 months one of them would invariably stop working, I even tried the wired low voltage lighting from Home Depot/Lowes. They would break even faster than the solar ones.
So we finally decided to have it professionally done. After reading all the reviews online and seeing that Carolina Outdoor had an A+ rating it was an easy call.
Matt came out the next day and went through everything that would probably work the best. Then the service manager came out about 2 days later and did the evening demo, once we fiddled with is every so slightly we were sold.
The only thing that was a touch of a pain point was they there about a month out on installs. Kevin was great keeping us informed of when the install would happen, and they pulled it in about week.
We could NOT be happier with the results, the house looks fantastic now. Before it we were a dark place you could not see from the street, now it looks really nice.
Would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone.
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!
Athena W.
5 Stars all the way. Could not be happier.
Kelly S.
Excellent service and customer service! Beautiful low voltage lighting.
Kevin H.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting put in my system 5 years ago. I had a couple of bulbs that recently started to fade and I called them for warranty service. They came out same week, replaced those bulbs and checked everything else. The system looks brand new again. This is what great customer service looks like. Highly recommend!!
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
Steve G.
Have been admiring a beautifully Carolina Outdoor Lighting illuminated home down the street for quite some time. Finally got around to calling them...and within a few days, our house looks fantastic. The evening preview visit was superb to help us understand what our home would look like, and then a few days later, the installation was perfect. Great crew who came on time and were extremely professional. Can't say enough about this team. If you are considering lighting for your home, this is the right team!

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).
Darrell J.
Very professional team. They came out and gave a great demonstration and there was no pressure to buy from them. They gave me choices and prices and were true to their word. The work was done exactly to what they promised and the installation crew were very courteous. Very please with the results! Thanks to Austin and his crew.
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!
Thomas V.
Great work. Love it!
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.
