Outdoor Lighting

Serving places across Upstate SC: Five Forks, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Greer, Taylors and more.

Outdoor Lighting

Great outdoor lighting is subtle—paths read clearly, entries feel safe, and plant textures show without glare. We begin with what you do at night (wayfinding, gathering, accents), then specify fixture types already proven on Upstate homes. That often means path/step lighting paired with modest accents on key forms so light lands only where it’s useful. We install low-voltage systems (not solar), use LED sources as standard, and can set up timers, motion, or smart control to simplify operation. The goal is calm, efficient light that extends use into the evening and complements the landscape you already have.

Why Light Right
(Ambiance • Safety • Efficiency)

  • Ambiance: Warm LED path, spot, wall, and string lights highlight textures and entries without glare, creating inviting nighttime spaces.

  • Safety: Low-voltage step and walkway fixtures clarify routes, stairs, and thresholds so evening movement feels secure and effortless.

  • Efficiency: LED as standard plus timers, motion sensors, or smart control reduce run-time and energy while ensuring reliable operation.

Our Process

Consult → Design → Install → Program

  1. 1

    Consult

    Walk the property at dusk, note how you move, and identify focal points and hazards.

  2. 2

    Design

    Select path, spot, flood, deck, wall, and string fixtures; plan placement, zones, and control options.

  3. 3

    Install

    Set low-voltage transformer, bury wiring, and mount fixtures; test coverage and adjust as needed.

  4. 4

    Program

    Aim lights at night and set timers, motion, or smart scenes so your system runs efficiently.

What you get

Design & Placement

We lay out paths, entries, and focal points first, then choose placements that avoid glare and dark spots. Your page already calls out benefits for ambiance, safety, and security—this section makes them visible where they matter most.

Fixtures & Effects

We use the families you list: path lights, spotlights, floodlights, deck lights, wall lights, and string lights—each for its job (wayfinding, accent, or ambient).

Low-Voltage Systems

Systems run on a transformer with buried cabling for reliability and brightness. 

Automation & LED

Options include timers, motion sensors, and smart integration (as transformer supports). LED is standard on your installs for efficiency and durability.

Our outdoor lighting design and installation practices align with the IES Recommended Practice for Landscape Lighting and follow DarkSky principles to reduce glare, improve safety, and save energy.

How we design in your area

Across the Upstate, outdoor lighting balances HOA requirements, new-build layouts, mature streetscapes, and foothill slopes. We use warm, low-voltage LED fixtures for paths, steps, walls, and accents, carefully aimed to reduce glare and highlight focal points. Automation through timers, motion sensors, or smart controls adapts output for daily living. Whether in Five Forks, Simpsonville, Mauldin, or Taylors, the principle is the same: useful light only where it’s needed, safe circulation after dark, and efficient systems that respect the night sky while extending the use of your landscape.

HOA-tidy frontage benefits from low-glare path and step lighting, with modest accents at the entry. We keep beams useful and the look welcoming, then automate for evening schedules.

Newer builds often need clearer wayfinding. We combine path/step lighting with targeted accents on features you want to see, using LED sources and low-voltage wiring for reliability.

Mixed sightlines and mature plantings call for careful aiming. Path and wall lights clarify routes; small accents pick up texture without adding glare. Timers simplify daily use.

Short slopes and darker edges get targeted step/path fixtures and selective accents on stone or canopy. Motion or smart control trims run-time where it makes sense.

Outdoor Lighting. Path, step, wall, and accent fixtures extend the use of your yard after dark and make circulation safe. They tie in seamlessly with the broader landscape: landscape design places focal points and walkways to illuminate, hardscapes provide the patios and steps that benefit from task lighting, drainage solutions keep lit paths dry and usable, sod installation restores lawns around lit areas, and plant & mulch installation supplies the textures and forms that accent lighting highlights at night.

Brighten Your Evenings—Safely & Beautifully

Path, step, wall, and accent lighting—warm LEDs with smart controls so your yard feels welcoming and secure every night. See your landscape in a whole new light.

Frequently Asked Questions

Outdoor lighting enhances the aesthetic appeal of your property, increases safety and security, extends the usability of outdoor spaces after dark, and can improve property value.

Common types include path lights, spotlights, floodlights, deck lights, wall lights, and string lights. Each type serves different purposes, such as accent lighting, task lighting, or ambient lighting.

Consider factors like the area you want to illuminate, the purpose of the lighting (e.g., security, decoration, or functionality), and your personal style preferences. Consulting with a professional can help you make the best choices.

Low-voltage lighting is powered by a transformer and is typically more reliable and brighter than solar lighting. Solar lighting is powered by the sun and is easy to install without wiring, but it may be less bright and dependable.

No we do not. This is due to the fact that solar lighting is less dependable, and functionality will be based upon the amount of sunlight required.

Installation varies by type. Low-voltage systems require a transformer and wiring, while solar lights need to be placed in sunny locations. Professional installation ensures proper placement, wiring, and functionality.

This varies based upon number of fixtures, type of fixtures, as well as length of wire run. Typically an outdoor low-voltage outdoor lighting package ranges between, on average, $15,000 and $3,500. This also includes a 1-year parts and labor warranty.

Yes, outdoor lighting can be automated with timers, motion sensors, and smart home integration, depending on the type of transformer, allowing you to control your lights remotely and set schedules for energy efficiency and convenience.

Regular maintenance includes cleaning fixtures, replacing bulbs, checking for damaged wires or connections, and adjusting the positioning of lights as needed to ensure optimal performance.

Best practices include using a mix of lighting types for layered illumination, highlighting key features, avoiding light pollution by directing lights appropriately, and ensuring even coverage without dark spots.

Yes, LED lighting is standard for most low-voltage systems Solomon’s Landscape installs. LED is ideal for outdoor use due to its energy efficiency, long lifespan, durability, and ability to withstand various weather conditions.

Outdoor lighting deters intruders by eliminating dark areas around your property, making it easier to spot potential threats. Motion-activated lights are particularly effective for enhancing security.
