No, generally not. Great designers showcase the subject while minimizing the likelihood someone can see the fixture. We accomplish this with well placed fixtures that account for viewing angles both from the street as well as inside the home. When good design and placement is augmented with adjustable glare guards you should not see interior light intrusion. In rare cases there can be some light intrusion on dormer style roof applications.

Loudoun Lighting delights in collaborating with you to showcase your home, boosting curb appeal and compliments from your neighbors while increasing your enjoyment of your outdoors spaces. We provide a no gimmicks hassle free 3 year warranty on ALL materials and workmanship. We will not recommend you spend on unnecessary annual subscription maintenance plans. We don’t give you pages of exclusions in our warranty and even provide “whoops” coverage for accidental damage.

We only use professional grade products and fixtures for our landscape lighting systems. Brands we install include Hinkley, Garden Light, Brilliance, FX Luminaire and more. These are always low voltage LED driven systems with excellent photometrics and hyper efficient electricity consumption. We source from a variety of vendors balancing your preferences such as made in the USA (or not) along with technology preferences such as color changing and/or smart systems, traditional vs. contemporary designer fixtures, and timeline (yes supply chain issues persist).

This varies according to each HOA. Most HOAs are not dictating fixture types and have no issues with traditional lighting. Loudoun Lighting is happy to work with your HOA for any necessary approvals.

Benefits include beautification, increased use of and enjoyment of outdoor spaces and safety & security improvements due to increased visibility. Less talked about is how outdoor lighting makes your indoor spaces feel larger. How? When you illuminate your backyard tree line this increases the distance you can see from inside your home which creates the feeling of being in a larger space.

Projects tend to range from $2k to $30k for typical single family homes in our area. Budgets are primarily driven by the specific fixture technology and material (stainless steel, brass, aluminum, etc) selected for your project, coupled with the number of specific architectural and landscape features to be showcased in your lighting design.

Timelines vary depending on the scope of your project. Smaller projects such as installing a dozen facade and path lights can be completed in a single day. Larger projects with dozens of fixtures also tend to entail the complexity of 2nd story fixture placement, moonlighting from trees or very long lighting runs and these may take a week or more. We will review the specifics during the design presentation.

Yes, Loudoun Lighting will maintain or repair low voltage systems regardless of whether we installed it.

Only in rare cases. We believe these are unnecessary and not in the best interest of your wallet. Instead, Loudoun Lighting recommends an annual service call if and only if it’s needed. You’re welcome! Why? A high quality lighting system requires only minimal pruning, cleaning or adjusting which we’re happy to teach you how to do or walk you through remotely. If you don’t want to do this we’re happy to cover in a service call. Meanwhile, other lighting companies are typically charging ~10% of the original system cost as an annual service contract to create a recurring revenue stream and a forcing function to stay top of mind with you for up-selling. Some even make their warranty contingent on this subscription. This is not aligned with your interests; our values.
