Illuminating your patio, deck, bar, kitchen and landscape are sure to encourage guests to linger about extending the party you’ve waited for all year.

KENTUCKY PATIO LIGHTING

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Louisville loves to illuminate patio spaces. No two patios are alike. From brick pavers, stone pavers, tiles and concrete, there is a great deal of fun in creating a custom lighting design to perfectly illuminate such lovely textures. Depending on your surrounding landscape we may use our moonlighting technique to cast light down from above, gorgeous landscape lights around the perimeter for an ambient glow or insert lights right into your retaining walls for lovely wash down the stone.

KENTUCKY DECK LIGHTING

Our deck lighting techniques are top notch. We use top quality brass and copper lights made especially for your decking. We can hang them on posts for a glow around the perimeter, under railings for ambient illumination and under railings and stair treads for added safety. We can even hang permanent festive string lighting over your deck for that classic party feeling.
