There’s something magical about walking into a backyard that’s been thoughtfully lit. It doesn’t shout for attention. It just feels right. At Southern Lights, we believe lighting design is more than just sticking a few fixtures in the ground—it’s about crafting an experience.
Here’s how we design NC backyards that come alive after sunset.
We Don’t Just Install Lights—We Create Layers
Think of your backyard like a stage. Good lighting sets the mood, highlights the stars (your favorite trees, architectural features, or seating areas), and keeps the whole scene balanced.
We use a combination of:
-
Ambient lighting to create atmosphere
-
Accent lighting to highlight focal points
-
Path and step lighting to enhance safety and flow
It’s not about how many lights—we’re more concerned with where and why.
We Work with Your Backyard’s Personality
A patio in Winston-Salem has different lighting needs than a wooded lot in Summerfield. We design around:
-
Your outdoor architecture
-
Existing landscaping
-
How you use the space (entertaining, relaxing, playing, or all of the above)
Whether you’re hosting game day parties or just enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, we make sure the lighting supports your lifestyle.
We Use Fixtures That Look Good Day & Night
Nobody wants clunky eyesores scattered through the landscape. That’s why we use sleek, high-quality fixtures that blend into your landscaping during the day and perform beautifully at night. Our NC clients love how everything looks polished, even when the lights are off.
We Future-Proof the Design
Lighting isn’t something you want to keep redoing. We design with longevity in mind, using commercial-grade components, flexible wiring strategies, and smart controls—so you’re set for years to come.
And if your needs change? We can easily add more zones or integrate audio later.
We Make It Easy to Love Your Backyard Again
From the first walkthrough to the final installation, our team handles it all—no pushy salespeople, no messy installs, no cheap parts. Just a team that loves lighting and knows how to make North Carolina backyards shine.
