Outdoor Lighting Designs
Our special outdoor lighting systems are always tailored to the building, garden, patio, or item that they are built to light. That’s why we always start our design and build process at night in order to see exactly how the design will look once completed. This way, you can try out the system before you purchase.
Lighting Products
Proudly using only parts manufactured in America, Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals’ top priority is installing a top-quality system on your Wake Forest property. Over time, the most expensive outdoor lighting system you’ll install is one that doesn’t end up performing, so we make it our business to use the best products and to correctly configure them for your system.
Installing Your Outdoor Lighting System
A quality installation requires quality crew members. Our crew makes it their goal to ensure that you’re satisfied with their work: timely, efficient, and professional installs are how we work. Everything is completed safely and with quality, the underground cabling is safely installed, and the lines are expertly buried so as not to leave a trace. We’ll install a low voltage transformer for the system, and most customers use a digital timer to control their lights.

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.

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
Sam
5 Star all the way. Very professional, fair cost, timely install. All-around a great experience and will recommend them to friends.
Tory W.
Great service from Carolina Outdoor Lighting. Highly recommend
Sarah
We had lights installed 5 years ago and haven't had *any* issues with them. We recently had them out for a service visit to fix a fixture that we damaged. Mike was AMAZING! What he got done in an hour was well worth the $$ spent. Repaired the line to the broken fixture, cleaned out all the can lights, got up on the ladder and examined the second story lights, adjusted our timer on the transformer, took time to educate me and answer all my questions. Highly recommend!
Benjamin G.
professional, prompt, responsive, and good work done by the Carolina Outdoor Lighting team
Lexi L.
Carolina Outdoor Lighting has been a great experience from the start. I reached out to them based on their google reviews in a web search, & I am so happy that I did. Every person who worked with us was patient, thought outside of the box & was incredibly kind & professional. They came to set up a staging of outdoor lights both in the front of our home/driveway & around to the back deck. They followed up with me to make sure that their job ended up looking as fantastic as we were hoping- it was. We are planning on reaching out to them for additional lighting down the road. There is no other company that I would trust. In a world where outdoor home improvements can be a headache, they were incredibly lovely to work with. 10/10 recommend!
David M.
Very professional, quick, clean, high quality job. Answered all my questions and the job went smoothly. Highly recommend!
Jean
Carolina Outdoor Lighting did an outstanding job. Their team are true experts who genuinely stand behind their work. They were punctual, professional, and exceeded my expectations in every way.
The transformation has completely changed how our backyard looks at night—it looks incredible. I was also pleasantly surprised that the cost was the same as what I paid back in 2020.
I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for high-quality outdoor lighting.
Marnie C.
What a first-class experience from start to finish! Austin came out to provide a quote and offered thoughtful lighting ideas that really elevated our vision. He even returned a few days later
at dusk to temporarily set everything up so we could see exactly how it would look before moving forward.
When installation day came, the team was prompt and efficient, and everything turned out beautifully. They even followed up the next day to make sure we were completely satisfied.
Professional, kind, and honest throughout the entire process. I highly recommend them!
Lauren M.
INCREDIBLE experience! They were so communicative, professional, and kind. They helped us create a plan for bistro lights and we are so happy with them. They set them up very quickly and efficiently.
We highly recommend!!!!
Kellie S.

Super clean and quick installation!
Beautiful results.

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.
They just did their third install for me in my new home. This company continually exceeds expectations. All of their crew are polite and professional and offer excellent ideas and solutions. I'm so happy with the results. I would not use any other company for my outdoor lighting. Highly recommend.
Denny B.
I have used Carolina Outdoor Lighting for the original install plus adding lights over the last two years. Mike, the service technician that is assigned to our area is awesome for a responsive and certainly professional, and pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting not just for the original install, but also following up and keeping the system functioning in a first class manner.
Dale M.
I’ve been using Carolina Outdoor Lighting for 9 years. I’ve done 3 upgrades with the last one just a week ago. Eric and his team are always professional and on point! My latest upgrade is simply spectacular! Thanks guys!
Beth R.
We had a great experience with Carolina Outdoor Lighting— from the initial visit to the night demo and installation. They fixed and rearranged my current lights to optimize what I had— as well as added lighting to get the effect we wanted. They were easy to work and didn’t put any pressure on buying their lights. We are very pleased with their work.
Peter N.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting was a pleasure to work with. They were responsive, thoughtful in their approach, and committed to doing the work properly.
They handled a few unexpected complexities with professionalism and flexibility, coordinating with trusted partners to ensure everything was completed the right way. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident throughout the process.
It’s clear they take pride in their work and value long-term relationships with their clients. I would gladly work with them again and highly recommend them.
Alex T.
Mike, Pat, and the Carolina Outdoor Lighting team did a great job. They were professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. The lighting turned out great and really enhanced the look of our home at night. Everything was handled smoothly, and we appreciated their attention to detail and service. Highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting Professionals.
James G.
I got these guys to install lights on my flag and they did an outstanding job. I then had them come out and do the free mock up on my house and it was exactly what I wanted and we scheduled to get the house done. They ended up moving my date ahead as they got caught up with other jobs. Great company! Highly recommend. The Greg guy is a little crazy but there is one on every team. lol JK Greg is the one I delt with the whole time. He even came out after hours and made an adjustment on my flag lights without me asking. These guys go above and beyond!
Becky T.
We would highly recommend Carolina Outdoor Lighting. They were professional, timely, and easy to work with.
Nima N.
I cannot say enough great things about this company!!! Everyone I have met is super knowledgeable, kind, and great at their jobs. Greg put in new lighting at one of our houses in North Hills and it looks amazing!!. I work with Kevin at our other house near Jaycee Park and everyone has consistently been excellent. They are quick to respond, great communicators, and true professionals. Carolina Outdoor Lighting is who you need for your outdoor space!!

Frank & Susan M.
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!.
Brad B.
Excellent and professional service. Good communication and follow up. Could have been more pleased.
Jennifer D.
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.
Laurie R.
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.
Chris T.
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!
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.
Jim B.
Our beautiful historic condo building in downtown Raleigh, The Cotton Mill, is more beautiful with Carolina Outdoor Lighting!!
