What we install
Landscape, Low-Voltage, Permanent & Holiday Lighting
Six ways to light a property, and one plan that uses them together. Most homes need more than one system — we design them as a single scheme so the driveway, the trees, the roofline and the patio all read as one property after dark.
Landscape Lighting
Uplighting, moonlighting and grazing that pulls your trees, stonework and architectural detail out of the dark.
Explore
Low-Voltage Lighting
Correctly sized 12V systems — brass fixtures, toroidal transformers and wire gauged so the far end still gets full voltage.
Explore
Permanent Lighting
Colour-changeable track tucked into the eave. Soft white nightly, team colours on game day, full colour for the holidays.
Explore
Holiday Lighting
Seasonal installs done properly — hung, timed, maintained through the season and taken down in January.
Explore
Bistro & String
Catenary runs on tensioned steel cable, anchored to posts or trees so they hold their line for years.
Explore
Pathway Lighting
Low, shielded fixtures that light the ground rather than the guest. Safe without looking like a runway.
ExploreAlready have a system that has stopped working? We also handle outdoor lighting repair and restoration — most systems come back the same day.
Why homeowners choose us
Anyone can put a light in the ground. Aiming it is the job.
Elwin Brown and his crew design every system on the property, at night, with the fixtures live — walking the beam angles until the tree canopy fills, the stone grazes correctly and no guest ever looks into a lamp. Then it gets buried, sealed and left clean.
- Solid cast brass, not aluminium. Brass weathers to a living patina instead of corroding through in Gulf Coast humidity.
- Buried runs and sealed connections. No wire across the lawn, nothing for a mower or an edger to find.
- Warm 2700K LED throughout. Matched colour temperature so brick reads like brick, not blue.
- One local owner on every job. The person who quotes the work is on site while it is installed.
How it works
How Our Outdoor Lighting Installation Works
Night demo
We come out after dark with fixtures in hand and light the house in front of you. You see the actual design before anything is bought.
Fixed quote
A written plan with fixture counts, placements and one price. No hourly surprises, no change orders once the number is agreed.
Clean install
Most residential systems go in within a day. Wire is trenched, transformers mounted discreetly, beds and turf left as we found them.
Aim & aftercare
We return at night to fine-tune every beam once the system is live — then optional maintenance keeps it aimed and lamped year-round.

In their words
Outdoor Lighting Reviews from Houston Homeowners
I had wanted to do outdoor lighting for years, but it was hard to find a company to give a quote or even return my call. These guys came to my home and listened to my ideas, they made valuable suggestions. The installation was simple and their crew was very respectful. The end result is perfect lighting for my home.Charles Crixell
We are really enjoying our backyard every evening now, which looks like a fairyland. He did lots of reworking, repairing and adding to an old system. I very seldom give reviews, but I really was so pleased with the service and work. He came when he said he would and did what he said he was going to.June Stanley
Elwin was very professional. I watched him the whole time he was restoring my landscape lighting. He replaced bulbs for better lighting, installed new wiring, and did a great job of hiding wires. He arranged for my unit to run off of one box instead of three. My landscape lighting means the world to me.Luong Tieu Hung
We are so excited about our new outdoor dramatic lighting. Elwin was amazing to work with, always on time and communicated throughout. He also rewired and reworked some of our existing lighting and replaced bulbs. Can’t say enough about his workmanship and his professional approach.Connie Loftus

Outdoor Lighting Questions, Answered
How long do permanent lights last?
Our LED systems are rated for up to 50,000 hours — that is over 10 years of regular use.
Are the lights visible during the day?
No. We use discreet housing and mounting techniques to keep your home looking clean and natural.
Can I use these lights year-round, not just for holidays?
Absolutely. Many of our customers use soft white tones for everyday lighting and switch to colours for special occasions.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. All installations include a manufacturer warranty, and we offer maintenance plans for extra peace of mind.
Can you repair a system somebody else installed?
Yes. Repair and restoration is a large part of what we do — we trace existing runs, replace failed lamps and corroded connectors, re-bury exposed wire and consolidate transformers. See outdoor lighting repair.
