From Design to Maintenance: What You Can Expect with Southern Lights

Lighting. Audio. Expertise. The full package.

Whether you’re ready to light up your landscape, enhance your backyard with premium outdoor audio, or go all-in with permanent holiday lighting, knowing what to expect makes all the difference.

At Southern Lights, we don’t just show up with a truck full of lights. We show up with a plan, a purpose, and a team of professionals who are here to make your property look its absolute best—day or night.

Here’s what the full Southern Lights service experience looks like:

A Real Conversation, Not a Sales Pitch

When you call us, you’re talking to people who live and breathe lighting. We’ll listen to what you’re envisioning, whether it’s subtle path lighting or a bold statement for your home’s facade. Expect questions like:

  • How do you use your space at night?

  • What’s the vibe you want—warm and cozy or modern and dramatic?

  • Are there areas you want to make safer or highlight for curb appeal?

This isn’t a cookie-cutter approach—we tailor everything to fit your space and your goals.

On-Site Design Walkthrough

Once we’ve talked through your goals, we’ll meet you on-site. This is where the magic starts. Our designer will walk the property with you, pointing out opportunities to add beauty, security, or functionality through strategic lighting placement or audio integration.

We’ll also take photos and measurements, answer any questions, and outline a rough game plan. If you’re interested in holiday or track lighting, we’ll explain options like color-changing presets, timers, and how to control your system from your phone.

A Clear, No-Surprises Estimate

After the walkthrough, we’ll send you a detailed proposal that includes:

  • A breakdown of your lighting or audio system

  • The materials we’ll use (we only use commercial-grade gear)

  • Installation costs

  • Warranty information

  • Optional service add-ons, like maintenance or upgrades

No “surprise” fees. No high-pressure pitches. Just a straightforward path to an amazing result.

Professional Installation by People Who Care

Our team isn’t seasonal help or subcontractors. These are full-time professionals who specialize in lighting and audio. You can expect:

  • Clean, efficient installation with minimal disruption

  • Fixtures placed and buried with precision

  • Wires tucked away neatly and safely

  • A fully tested system before we call the job done

Plus, we’ll walk you through how everything works before we leave.

Follow-Up and Long-Term Support

We’re not disappearing after the last light goes in. Whether you’re part of our Light Club membership or just need a one-time service call, we’ve got your back.

  • Something flickering? We’ll fix it—fast.

  • Ready to expand your system? We’ll help you plan it.

  • Need help with programming or a seasonal refresh? Just give us a shout.

The Bottom Line

We’ve been doing this for over 30 years, and the difference shows. When you hire Southern Lights, you’re getting more than a lighting contractor—you’re getting a long-term partner who takes pride in making your home or business shine.
