With the arrival of football season come all the night games and tailgating parties. Does your backyard, deck or patio have adequate illumination for your guests? Professionally installed outdoor lighting by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia can bring added depth, character and ambiance to your outdoor living spaces. Whether you simply need more illumination so your guests can mingle in a relaxing wash of illumination, or you need to really spice up your deck or patio with festive string lighting, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives can handle it all.
Think of how enamored your guests will be by way of subtle, elegant illumination on and around your deck or patio. At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia, we know how to perfectly mesh both the practical and the aesthetic elements of lighting. If your patio or deck needs more illumination for your grilling area and a little less for where your guests eat and congregate, we can easily achieve this. The first thing we do when arriving to any of our customers’ homes is to find out their goals and objectives for their outdoor lighting. This way we can set forth to establish the perfect, tailor-made design for your home and your home, alone.
From the moment you or your guests exit your vehicle and begin walking to the front door, the path there should be easily seen. This is another aspect of professional outdoor lighting which is often overlooked – additional safety. If your deck has stairs, at nighttime they could become dangerous tripping hazards for both you and your guests. This goes for each and every walkway and pathway around your home and outdoor living spaces. While you and your guests are enjoying your tailgate party, outdoor lighting can remove the dangerous tripping hazards which manifest themselves as soon as darkness falls.
Make certain your outdoor living spaces are ready for all your evening get-togethers this fall and winter. Call the professionals at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia today at (803) 935-4611, email us at columbiasc@outdoorlights.com, fill out the form to the upper right or visit our website for even more information. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

As a homeowner, you likely have many upkeep tasks that you perform regularly or have performed a few times over the years. By performing these tasks, you more than likely know exactly how much each task is going to cost you due to the regularity in which you perform these tasks. Outdoor lighting, if done right, only needs to be installed one time. So, more than likely, you don’t have a frame of reference for what to budget for your outdoor lighting system.
The first thing you should take into account is the area or areas you want to see illuminated. There have been several occasions where customers know they eventually want to light both their front yard and their back yard but know they want to start with just one area. At the same time, we’ve had customers add outdoor lighting in phases. While you may not have a frame of reference for what professional outdoor lighting will cost, we are more than happy to provide this information if you are in the early budget planning stages or even if you’re thinking about adding lighting next year. You will not find any hard sell tactics with us. We want to provide the best lighting designs and installations to homeowners based on their needs, timing, and budget.
If you have an established budget, we will work within your budget. We understand some people don’t feel comfortable sharing their budget with contractors out of fear they’ll get an inflated price only intended to spend the entire budget. Our pricing is quite simple. The pricing depends on exactly how many lighting fixtures we install. The whole process is taken into account; the design, fixtures, installation and guarantee are all calculated into the per fixture price. By performing a nighttime demonstration, it will be fairly easy for you to see exactly how many fixtures you are looking to have installed. Essentially, by getting to see how your home looks with an outdoor lighting system before it’s ever installed you’re getting to see the price as well.
To make your property party-ready for Labor Day, we will discuss with you where your guests like to linger, sit and dine. Then, we can leave those areas awash in warm light so they become a relaxing, inviting area after nightfall. At 
Columbia cafe lighting will help to add a festive, inviting ambiance to your post game parties. Cafe lighting helps to add a mingling area to your deck or patio that would dissipate rapidly once it gets dark outside. Along with increased ambiance and a festive atmosphere, cafe lighting will add visibility to all the areas that need illumination, including, your guests, your food, your grill, and even your backyard.
