While you may arrive home when the sun is still out and you can take the dog out with a couple of hours of remaining sunlight, those days are slowly coming to an end. Soon, by the time you pull into the driveway from work it will be pitch black outside. By adding outdoor lighting to your Columbia SC home, you will arrive to a home that’s well lit. You’ll be able to go about your day just as you would during the summer months, even when it’s dark outside.
Columbia SC outdoor lighting is something best left to the professionals. At Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia, we will take into account all your outdoor activities including:
- Where you and your family congregate in your yard.
- The areas that could become tripping hazards without adequate illumination during the nighttime.
- The areas of your property you would like to see accentuated.
With our combined expertise and design knowledge, your yard and walkways can become a relaxing, safe environment, subtly awash in light. Outdoor lighting fixtures can be installed under railings or on stairs and at other points of entry where accidents are most likely to happen. We can’t guarantee you will be accident-free, but we can light the way to make you more surefooted. Professionally designed and installed outdoor lighting will add illumination to areas where you might need to see color or detail clearly, like in an outdoor kitchen or a visually striking landscaped area. Most importantly, we can install them in a way that your guests don’t notice them at all. Make sure you get the most out of your outdoor living spaces by the addition of outdoor lighting.
To see how Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia can add nighttime illumination to your deck, patio, landscaping, pergola, or favorite hangout spot, call us today at (803) 935-4611, email us at columbiasc@outdoorlights.com, fill out our form to the upper right, or visit our website.

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.
As football season gets closer, anticipation for the first 
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.
An attractive front-of-home outdoor lighting system isn’t made by putting a couple lights in the ground. It’s not made by shining bright spotlights at the house or spotlighting one or two focal areas. Great outdoor lighting starts with a great design.
Another important part of this lighting design was the pathway lighting. When walking along a path, you don’t want to think about possibly tripping over unseen obstacles. You want to arrive safely and never give it a second thought. This property has a serpentine path and we chose strategic spots along the bends to guide owners and guests effortlessly from the driveway to the house and back.
Once the sun goes down completely, do areas surrounding your pool become vacant and full of dark spots? The addition of bollard lighting fixtures around your pool area will create a boundary of illumination by way of absolutely stunning lighting fixtures. Whether it’s your very own pool or your neighborhood pool, professionally designed and installed pool lighting provides both practical and aesthetic advantages for your pool area.
Imagine sitting pool-side enjoying your favorite beverage with your friends or family in a relaxing environment created by our ambient outdoor lighting. Glowing foliage near your pool area’s surroundings will add both depth and texture during the evening hours that simply aren’t there during the daylight hours. Harsh flood lights or a total lack of illumination are anything but relaxing. A custom designed lighting system combines the warm glow of ambient light with focal lighting to accentuate features that add to the allure of your pool, spa and surrounding areas in order to complete the look.
