The look of our home lit at night is warm and wonderful. We have increased security, and peace of mind.... Thanks to the professionals at OLP my faith in old fashioned honesty and customer service is restored! - Steve F. - Lexington

Outdoor illumination needs are increasing. More than 60% of architects participating in the AIA survey state having seen an increase in outdoor living spaces requests -- a rise from 56% the previous year. Research indicates that homeowners are moving away from upgrading to another home and instead looking into refurbishing their existing homes, adding outdoor living spaces to more fully enjoy what they currently have while enhancing the market value of the property.
As this market segment grows in Lexington and Central Kentucky, so does the desire and need for exterior lighting to allow these homeowners to more fully enjoy their leisure spaces and extensions of their home interiors -- well into the evening, all year long.
